America and the World: Americas Role in this World

A lot of people feel that America gets much too involved in other countries affairs and that we should keep to ourselves. I can definitely say that I do not agree with that. We shouldn't be starting random wars with any countries, and I think that is something that NO ONE wants despite what many people think. We shouldn't be a 'hostile' nation, we should focus our efforts in the world on specific causes that cannot be argued with. One thing that we can help is starvation in places like India and Sub-Saharan Africa. We should be able to send troops there, not to keep peace, but to bring food, water and other essentials. America is so lucky to have all these resources and one of the things that this country is founded on is that everybody should be given the opportunity to succeed. Many people in the world don't even have access to clean water and a sustainable food source. These are basic human rights and with our power and wealth we should be helping out those less fortunate. By doing this we are helping the world progress and become more innovative and educated. Of course, there is no clear answer of how to fix the problem of poverty, we should be doing everything to help out. One day all of these efforts will work, making the world a better place is easy if you have the resources for it, which America most definitely does. While it is true that we also need to be looking out for ourselves, I think that by helping out in the world we are helping ourselves. The more advanced the rest of the world becomes the smoother it will run, at least, that is what I believe.
