Explain Why We Should Be Involved In Helping People From Other Countries

It is not the responsibility of individuals to help their fellow man. Our resources are dwindling, and there’s no room to share. People and countries should learn to mend their own ways, and with reliance on others for aid, they won’t be able to do that.

Should the United States increase foreign aid? This is a topic that has come up many

Ever had that one friend? The one who tries to help, but no matter how hard he tries, he just aggravates the situation. This friend, Steve, insists he is helping, and those around, too, would support that he is indeed helping. But Steve is actually worsening the circumstances. He is like countries who provide foreign aid to less developed countries. Foreign aid, defined as “the international transfer of capital, goods, or services from a country or international organization for the benefit of the recipient country or its population,” can be military, economic, or humanitarian (“Foreign”). It is often granted to less developed countries in order to evoke government reforms or to stimulate economic growth. However, foreign aid neither elicits government reform, nor does it consistently and reliably stimulate economic growth; therefore, the United States should discontinue providing foreign economic aid.

Some people dont believe in foreign aid. Some people think that if they have more money and food, then they shouldn't have to "share". Peoplwe dont look at it as there is always someone who needs it and if you have "extra" than why not help another person. If anotheer place is in need they may contact a "richer" place.

Is America the world's policeman? Currently it would seem so, with the United States sending unheard of support to countless countries. America has been doing this task for about 60 years, more or less. America spends millions of dollars for the safety of countries that can't help themselves. Obviously America cannot afford to support so many countries and itself. Either it will run out of money or it will run out of men. Policing the world takes a lot of manpower. America is dragging down its own future. If America supports everyone else when they are down, will they do the same for America in the future? America, if it keeps wasting its resources to protect everyone else, will eventually fail (Snyder).

Throughout history, many have debated about whether a wealthier country (developed) should help out a poor, less developed countries. “The U.S. disbursed $33.2 billion—$19 billion in economic assistance to 184 countries and $14.2 billion in military assistance to 142 countries.”(Forbes) Is it beneficial for a more developed nations to help out a less developed country?

Many American citizens disregard or are unaware of what is happening in other less developed countries. Some lack electricity, efficient amount of food for their families, and even running, clean water. Poverty is one of the major cause of death, mostly for young children due to sickness and their families can’t afford the help they need. There are ways America is helping the undeveloped countries to improve as many people's lives as possible. Although there is more suffering than there are helping, some are working everyday to help solve the problems many are suffering so badly from.

There is many benefits to helping developing nations. As we help with developing nations, we also can strengthen our trade. The US would have many benefits to improving trade with over countries. We could help build a more cooperative world, and in doing that building trade with strength our economy, help us build relationships with other countries, and strengthen the world. “Relationships are so much like the United States - they only really thrive when faced with an external threat.”

With United States having great economic success, we can, and do, give more aid to other countries than anyone else. Yes, United States takes care of its own issues before helping the other countries, but helping others is in our culture to help other people or countries in need. From things like fund raisers for different needs around the world, or even just charities to help aid the people in need of it.

People in 3rd world countries are suffering every second. They don’t have enough food and clean water to stay alive. They don’t have the education to survive and don’t have jobs to help them live. People in 3rd world countries need our help. We need people to help them by donating money.

Solutions like talking to local hospitals and doctor's offices to try and get them to donate their time or anything they may have to help. You could also turn to families that are willing to donate anything they think would help. Another solution to help malaria would be “targeted insecticide spray, you could spray the walls inside of homes to help kill mosquitos” (The Solution para. 4). “Tuberculosis can also be treated with antibiotics but the treatment can take anywhere from six to twelve months” (Tuberculosis (TB) Treatment para. 1). “Cholera requires immediate treatment because it can cause death within hours” (Cholera para. 1). If others are not willing to help purchase supplies, then we can purchase what we can afford to send to Rwanda, every little bit counts. We know that everyone is not going to be willing to help and not everyone is going to have the money to help but the littlest things can make a big difference and they will in

Globally there are at least 152 million people in need of Humanitarian aid. That's larger than the population of Russia.

And in doing so, we've ushered in a new era of accountability and results”(Obama). To summarize Obama’s speech on global development is that the U.S needs to help countries in anguish to keep the global stability but only to some extent. The U.S should allocate its resource to help countries in despair because it has the ability to an in return gain benefits such as alliances.

Foreign Policy is a very complex and difficult subject to discuss with others. It is not a policy that you can make a rash decision over because it can hurt your country’s future if you’re not careful. Internationalism is vital for the United States’ it has developed unshakable alliances and we have benefited greatly when standing up and playing a leadership role on the international stage. From helping countries on the brink of an economic collapse to protecting countries from a potential nuclear attack. Internationalism is massively important to our economy and our influence around the world. Individuals like Donald Trump are threatening to withdraw troops from affairs we are currently involved in and reduce the amount of money we send. This will reduce our credibility as a nation and many countries across the world will feel betrayed.

The richer nations should help the poorer nations because they are able increase their foreign investments. By helping poor neighboring countries, the richer nations would be able to make the entire region an attractive location for investors and this in turn would bring more investments to the entire region. One example would be The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, commonly known as ASEAN. It is an organization of ten countries, including nations such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia located in Southeast Asia with the aims of accelerating economic growth and the promotion of regional peace along with social and cultural progress and using ASEAN as a platform for mediating between countries. This allowed the countries to conduct meetings, and the richer nations such as Singapore and Malaysia help poorer nations such as Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia through offering their expertise. An overall stability in the area has led to the increase in foreign direct investment, since there is investor's confidence in the area where it is socially and politically stable. Hence, richer nations can aid poorer countries since it would be a win-win situation for both countries and the richer nations would reap positive benefits such as accelerated economic growth from doing so.
