Question

Many Americans were reluctant to get involved in World War I. They favored a policy of isolationism, meaning that they preferred that the U.S. government stay out of world affairs. The opposite view, internationalism, supported the U.S. taking an active role in world affairs. Even after American involvement in World War I, many Americans wanted to maintain a policy of isolationism. Do you think that a policy of isolationism is appropriate in our modern world? Do you think that is possible in our world today? Explain.

Answer 1

#1) Do you think that a policy of isolationism is appropriate in our modern world?

Answer: I truly believe that a policy of isolationism is not appropriate in our modern world. Given that now almost everything is more about interconnection than ever before.

#2) Do you think that is possible in our world today? Explain.

Answer: It is not possible in our world today because almost every state is involved in international trade, globalization, and world wide communication. Isolationism is impossible given that this internationals structures that have been built over time could come down and it would not benefit anyone.

I hope it helps, Regards.
