Questions & Answers about sekaijuu de, daredemo jiyuu ni iken o ieru shakai ni naru to ii desu ne.
世界中で literally means “in/throughout the whole world” or “all over the world.”
- 世界中 (sekai-jū) = the whole world / all over the world
- で here marks the place or scope where something happens.
So 世界中で = “in the whole world (as the setting where something happens).”
Why で?
- で is used to mark the location where an action or state takes place:
- 学校で勉強します。 – I study at school.
- 世界中で戦争が起きている。 – Wars are happening all over the world.
If you used 世界中に, it would feel more like “to the whole world / in the whole world exists,” often about existence or direction, e.g.:
- 世界中にファンがいる。 – There are fans all over the world. (existence)
- 世界中に広がる。 – Spread throughout the world. (direction/expansion)
In this sentence, we’re talking about what kind of society we’d like to exist as the situation around the world, so 世界中で (“in the whole world”) fits best.
