As the world is joined in internationalism, peace and prosperity is increased
and foreign intermingling can be achieved. Countries are able to join the
UN and strive to create a peaceful, economic world that shall function
greatly towards a better world.
Cultural Diversity
Should Foreigners be allowed to be included in political decisions that
could affect our nation? Many people of different nations feel that
internationalism is a factor that could affect their culture, collective identity
and ultimately, their nation. The flow of influence and foreign immigrants
affect how a nation reacts to global issues when people of that ethnicity
demand support for the (other) nation ex: New Canadians pressuring the
government to help Haiti after the earthquake.
International Trade
When different nations co-operate, trading is increased that can benefit the
nations or certain corporations. This can be a positive internationalism that
could expand the international market and benefit other nations, but it could
also lead to tension and mistrust of other nations. These tensions could
climax to a global war or issue that effects all nations ex: 9/11.
Immigration
The act of immigration and intermingling of different diversities, has caused
some tension in nations and some extreme decisions by citizens. These
actions have caused the need for UN peace keeping missions, other
national assistance, and change in culture ex: the USA in Iran.
International Affairs
The tensions between nations may lead to war that could cause an
international economic setback that could affect growing nations. The act of
war may prompt other nations to try to “help” so that they can gain
resources and keep the “peace” ex: the USA in Iran.
Extreme International Affairs
Some nations are fixed on improving their own nation that others are
forgotten, even when there is genocide going on. The other nations may
perceive the other nation’s genocide as being a fight between tribal people
that have been happening for years.
