The world is a beautiful place, yet it is hard to believe when one has not seen and experienced it for themselves. Having to be cooped up in one tiny corner of the world does little for one’s creativity and imagination. Which was why this past summer, I got to taste another part of the world and meet so many different people that opened my mind to so many things. I knew different places held different cultures, traditions, beliefs, languages. I knew that there were many different countries, but I never realized the size of the diversity until a few months ago.

Unlike many people around the world, I have been fortunate enough to obtain education abroad and experience cultural diversities of the world we live in. It has been such a joy to be able to interact with people from different cultures and engage in conversations that widen my perspective and enrich my cultural knowledge. My experiences abroad also enabled me to find my passion for foreign language learning and teaching that led me to get an education at the University of Kansas. I believe that learning foreign languages and culture not only enable people to see the world differently and develop compassion and tolerance at a personal level, but also contribute to the world peace in the long run.

In the modern economy, businesses are encouraged to compete in pursuit of profit. They would be providing goods and services that a society demands, and then they get compensated for their efforts, therefore there is nothing evil or shameful in pursuing profit, as long as it is within the boundaries of the law.

The Ted-Talk, “What It Means to be a Citizen of the World” given by Hugh Evans was seemingly directed towards those individuals who “self identify first” as a “member of a state, nation, or tribe” and therefore are focused solely on the improvement of their closed-community rather than the improvement of the entire “human race”. Therefore, centering his audience at those individuals who remain outside the lines of being a global citizen. The main idea that Hugh draws up throughout his speech is the impact that the actions of a single individual; no matter how small, can have when one acts with the purpose of combating “extreme poverty, climate change, and inequality” on a global scale rather than a local one.
