"And The World Will Live As One..."

Last week, we scratched the surface of what internationalism is, and this week we will start examining how it is a good thing and how it can be a bad thing.  The thing to remember is that if we embrace internationalism more, it is at the expense of nationalism. So the question then becomes how much do we embrace being an active member in the international community? At some point, will the idea of having completely independent nations. But, if we don't embrace internationalism, there are major world-wide concerns (wars, poverty, natural disasters, the environment, etc) that no one country could possibly attempt to solve on their own. It will be up to you to decide.

Remember: we are almost done this unit (Ultranationalism and Internationalism). Which means that NEXT WEEK you will be having a unit exam. So start reviewing now!!!
