    Due to the invention of modern technology, America has become the melting pot of different cultures and it shows most people are open to becoming cosmopolitan. The invention of technology have given society the ability to communicate with each other from all over the world. Americans have not fully embraced the idea of mutually agreeing about a topic through conversation alone because not every generation of people can see eye to eye. For example, the millennials and the Baby Boomers have two different perspectives on life because of their upbringing and many other factors.

  • Appiah's Theory Of Cosmopolitanism

    305 Words  | 2 Pages

    Appiah’s mechanically effective assertion contrasts with the content of argument, and its flawed foundation. Of the many ideas that Appiah presents to discuss his idea of Cosmopolitanism, one of the main premises on he bases his argument is that “we must care for the fate of all human beings, inside and outside our own societies” (87). This premise is based on the erroneous assumption that all humans have the same regard for others, and the daily world tragedies caused by human hands, things such as school shootings, terrorism, kidnappings, homicide, etc., contradict this idea. Appiah then goes on to say, “It is the obligation of every human being to do his or her fair share in making sure that everybody gets what they are entitled to” (95).

With the formation of several influential international governmental organizations (IGOs), the world has become a much safer place.
