You'd think the world would be standing up and cheering.

The world stood at the brink of a very dark age.

The world must stand together to prevent the spread to these weapons.

But the real world they want so much to ignore is not standing still.

All at once it was as if the world stood still.

Then, for one breathless moment, the whole world stood still.

The world stands on the threshold of a second computer age.

The world is truly standing on its head these days.

"I felt like the world stood still there for a second."

The whole world stood to honor Him upon that hill.
