Main Idea: Barack Obama wants a new American Foreign Policy. In a statement on Wednesday at the UN summit, he stated that there are still many countries strcken with poverty with barely any standards for a decent life. He also stated that within this global economy of today's world, helping these countries progress will not only be for the interests of them, but also for the worlds as a whole as their advancements will help build upon the world economy as a whole. He wants the American government to lead the world in trying to aid these countries. Some of his goals include bettering the overall life of the peoples living in those countries and combat corruption from the governments of those countries. He also stated that people should not abandon those in need of help
Conclusion: with this mind, the Obama administration will use this foregin policy to try and help all those countries in need. He will try to get other countries to help him in trying to better the situations of these countries and one of the methods he will use is by making the government of these poverty-stricken countries better. This will not only make the situations of those in the poor countries better but also for those around the world as their prosperity will help the prosperity of the rest of the world.
I agree that the US should be the leader in aiding poor countries. Especially if the world economy will grow, it is definitely worth it for the US to start providing support. Hopefully if the US sets this kind of example then other countries will follow as well.
ReplyDeleteThe United States should take an initiative on aiding other countries to raise the standard on living for the whole world. Helping other countries also means that the US has enough power to care about others, not being difficult for domestic administrations. It also seems that the US is demanding for enlarging even more community that favors to America.
ReplyDeleteI think that he should hold on to that thought and focus on improving the US before he tries to help other countries. 2 scenarios that could happen is that you and the countries that you try to help grow together but the more likely scenario is that you drag yourself down while the other countries improve, which seems more likely to happen
ReplyDeletehelp and stabilize yourself before you help others because you are more likely for success.
