Americans should be concerned about political, economic,and social developments in faraway countries. Globalization makes us interconnected and depended upon one another. The speed that many can travel around the world has never been faster. This makes us vulnerable to different diseases than can spread further. Ebola was found in Africa but it spread into United States within weeks. We are economically depended upon cheap labor and resources found in economically deprived countries. American companies are locating their factories in non industrialized countries where they can get away paying extremely low wages which causes unrest and instability in these countries. Governments instability of one country affects other countries. The war in Syria was caused by ineffective and corrupt government. America became involved in the Civil War that resulted costing American lives, money, and military equipment. The refugees of Syria are fleeing this war zone looking for new safe home causing chaos in Europe. With globalization the world is more connected than ever. Easy access to resources is not always a good thing because people with more money can exploit and abuse people of other countries. America should be concerned about political, economical and social developments of other countries because it affects us immensely. America could never be number one leading country in the world without other countries. By using international resources, cheap labor, and being constantly in a war, America keeps its economy in place.
