It might be argued by some that the Stoics paved the way for the Hippy movement of the 1960's and 70's. Their philosophy of Cosmopolitanism has led to a great many debates, demonstrations and political conundrums in this modern age. This is due mainly to Cosmopolitanism's main arguments, which state that all of humanity shares a common morality and a universal community. This could today be rephrased as saying that all mankind should operate with an inclusive morality and within a single world government.

Cicero forced Roman sentiment on stoic thought;changing it to a less grandiose than the stoics meant by universal citizenship.
