Evaluate the following statement by agreeing or disagreeing and defending your view:
adell [148]

Answer:

I agree with this statement because when you help outside the nation, it helps the U.S know how to deal with causes like the one you are supporting ,so I agree with this statement. This was my response. I'll put Sample response below. Hope this Helps!

Explanation:

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Agree: the active American citizen should realize that one of America’s central values is helping people around the world. Therefore, active American citizens should be focused on helping both their communities and people around the world. After all, our world is getting smaller. We can no longer consider other nations as other worlds -- we are connected to them politically and economically. Moreover, helping other nations is easy because there are international organizations such as the American Red Cross that make volunteering simple. Disagree: while active citizenship may include helping people in other countries, the primary responsibilities of an active citizen are their immediate community, local, state, and national affairs. After all, a citizen is not a citizen of the world, but rather a nation. There are plenty of people suffering within American borders and that should be the focus of active American citizens.
