Think of the BREXIT: Withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. British electorate will address the question again on June 2016 in a referendum on the country’s membership, following the passage of the European Union Referendum Act 2015.

Here is an interesting analogy: If we take it as a given that every second marriage ends in a divorce within 10 years in Europe and considering the ‘relation problem,’ then we can discern ‘systems’ and ‘relationship.’ Consider: if each partner only maintains his/her own body, then who cares for the relation? In terms of systems, this analogy could be used to explain why systems tend to be maintained (better) than relationships. One might even argue that cultivating relationships is getting harder, for instance, when considering the idea ‘open-border approach.’ This thinking has generated much debate along the lines of culture, religion, and language across European nations.

Also, consider that, if money is missing, no one can pay for shelter or food. Also, credibility and rating of countries are largely based on the financials. Yet research suggests that people and society suggest a need to have the right balance in materialism, technical, social, nutritional, cognitive, spiritual, and environment (Kant 1991; Li 2013).
