I feel it is very important that we involve ourselves with problems across borders. We, as a counrty, are too concerned with our own issues to understand the different perspectives and problems of other cultures. We only put emphasis on the struggles of our citizens and those who are citizens to the nations we are politically involved with and refuse to view ourselves through a global perspective.
By taking a stance in global issues I feel that our citizens will better undestand different points of view than there own, both in other nations and on our soil. There is so much diversity in the Untied States and if we can't understand foriegn citizens how will we understand them when they immigrate here?
Although, as the reading illustrated, helping those who are different can have negative consequences, I think they can be prevented through proper education. By teaching people at an early age about the many varrying beliefs and thoughts of others, we can prevent these misunderstandings. It will help is as a nation to be involved in global politics, rather than just our own.
