I think that as Americans, we have a lot to consider when it comes to global stratification because we are a richer nation. We must be cautious not to treat people from other nations who may be less privileges with any less respect. We should always be cognizant of the needs and cultures of others, and that they are often very different from our own.
The United States is known throughout the world as a very giving nation, but I think sometimes that giving is turns into a convenient cash-toss at whatever cause has grabbed our attention.
When the Haiti earthquake devastated that country, we responded fast and we responded in person. We saw the destruction of that country and understood their pain enough to get dirty to help those people improve their lives. I wish our nation knew how to respond in such a personable way all the time, not just when there are disasters.
