However, able to understand on both globalization and cosmopolitanism, Americans need to connect with other cultures to get the sense the motivation of enjoying soccer. England is where soccer is originated, but the game spread throughout Asia, Europe, South America, Africa, and North America by learning the culture and rules of soccer.

Yet in the Olympics, there are many different sports that aren’t recognized in the United States and still a US athlete plays that sport because of understanding about through interests of the culture. Not every British person or Latino person is fully into soccer. Soccer is like a hobby, if the person enjoys it then it fits his or her personality. If not then move onwards to a different hobby that he or she might enjoy. With people from different countries enjoys the same hobby could understand how it feels to be a part of it. Back to Nussbaum, she proclaims that, “By conceding that a morally arbitrary boundary such as the boundary of the nation has a deep and formative role in our deliberations, we seem to be depriving ourselves of any principled way of arguing to citizens that they should in fact join hands across these other barriers”

What should be a consideration is that there are organizations and people who want to contribute to and are willing to help those in need, their kindness. Kenny’s very biased definition of charity may or may not be accepted by others, as charity is something that people base off their own individual…

    Often times, articles and advertisements that encourage people to donate always appear to be faulting people for have enough. Like Peter Singer stated in his article “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”: “In the world as it is now, I can see no escape from the conclusion that each one of us with wealth surplus to his or her essential needs should be giving most of it to help people suffering from poverty so dire as to be life-threatening. That 's right: I 'm saying that you shouldn 't buy that new car, take that cruise, redecorate the house or get that pricey new suit. After all, a $1,000 suit could save five children 's lives” (329).…

    In a world where CEOs of corporations get paid 20 times larger annual compensations, taxes are ever increasing, and the people demand what they want when they want, it is hardly a utopian society. The wealthy are indeed continuing to live a "privileged" lifestyle. The poorer citizens are not oppressed by the government, but by the situation that the government refuses to remedy. Thomas Paine wrote in his book, The Rights of Man, his beliefs that the United States could be an orderly society; taxes could be few and the government would be fair to its citizens. However, his belief has not held up in recent years.…

    The formation of a country is typically accompanied by a people who crave new identities of belonging and freedom. That being said, revolutions always have at least two different viewpoints. In the formation and liberation of the United States, nationalism instilled pride and was used as a reason to revolt against the tyranny felt by some Americans. That nationalism, however, quickly weakened and turned to state allegiance, and was a subject of debate for those trying to resolve what the best government was for this newly created nation. During this time frame, though, that dispute was never settled and a strong sense of ‘state nationalism’ emerged in the United States instead of the widespread country nationalism for which Federalists had hoped, leading citizens to identify as members of their state before they identified as members of their country.…

    To be an American is to live in a place where you have the freedom to be whoever or whatever you wish to be without having to be a person you are not. Americans should cherish that fact that unlike other places, there are freedoms and rights that the people have just for living here. A few aspects that define one as an American is a sense of patriotism and genuine love for their country, having freedoms and rights that allow one to be themselves, and the way that people are able to view the rest of the world. People who live in other nations may not view America as being the best country in the world, and all people live by different standards, only these people are also controlled by their government in every aspect of their lives.

    Globalization: “A process of growing interdependence that represents a fundamental change from a world of individual and independent states to a world of state interdependence.” Globalization is a vastly multifaceted and contentious concept, it is not a new phenomenon but a continuance of developments that has been taking place over a considerable amount of time. The current trend of globalization of economic activities is qualitatively different, nevertheless, as the world has ceased to be a group of comparatively autonomous economic entities that are only slightly connected and are less susceptible to events in their neighbourhoods. In other words, the world has now become a global village, a village without borders. Globalization encompasses many features, but the following three appear to be the driving force behind economic integration (a) internalization production accompanied by changes in the structure of production, (b)expansion of international trade in trade and services, (c) widening and deepening of international capital flows.…
