Global Engagement

For the longest time I used to think that what went on in the rest of the world had nothing to do with me but I was wrong. In the words of Anthony Rock, "The world is not somewhere other than here. It’s important to realize that that someplace else, that larger world is part of the world in which you live." This is so true even now that the U.S. is dealing with heavy economical issues. Not only we feel this but also nations around the world are beginning to feel it as well. It is up to us to be informed of everything that goes on in the world and try to find solutions.

The running dry was a perfect example of how problems can impact the whole world. We are all affected by what goes on in other countries which is why it is super important to pay attention to the rest of the world. We usually tend to just worry about ourselves but that will take us nowhere because we need to know how the world is doing in order to make certain decisions. For example to decide what major we would like to pursue or in order to invest in something. I've learned to not just worry about my problems because there are even greater problems out there.
