We Live in an Interdependent World.In the 21st Century everyone and everything is connected, we are not limited by borders anymore. We have connections and relationships with people and governments all over the world. Interdependence means that each member of the relationship is self-sufficient but responsible to each other. As people living in an interdependent world, we need to work together because all countries are dependent on one another in some way. Think about global warming, clothes, disease, entertainment, terrorism, and food; these things do not have borders. People and governments use, work for, and try to prevent these things together.
We need to focus on civic responsibility. All of our actions affect others. It our responsibility as global citizens to promote tolerance, appreciate diversity, and learn about intolerance to understand that it is something that should not be accepted.
