Before I call it quits on cultural comparison, I want to point out that it’s great to realize that one is equal to everyone else even though, to quote George Orwell, some people are always more equal than others in some ways. Imagine how powerful you’d be if you know and conduct yourself in a manner showing that you’re not above, nor beneath anyone in this world. Not just knowing it, but actually doing it accordingly. Then at the end of the day you’d really be able to say that you’ve come, seen and conquered. You’d never care to speak about it, but you know what I mean.
Anyways, here are two up-to-date examples of “first among equals”.
1. The United States’ leading intelligence organisation has warned that the world is entering an increasingly unstable and unpredictable period in which the advance of western-style democracy is no longer assured, and some states are in danger of being “taken over and run by criminal networks”.
The global trends review, produced by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) every four years, represents sobering reading in Barack Obama’s intray as he prepares to take office in January. The country he inherits, the report warns, will no longer be able to “call the shots” alone, as its power over an increasingly multipolar world begins to wane.
…
At the same time, the US will become “less dominant” in the world – no longer the unrivalled superpower it has been since the end of the Cold War, but a “first among equals” in a more fluid and evenly balanced world, making the unilateralism of the Bush era no longer tenable.
