When I go overseas people tend to make fun of our country saying that we know nothing about the world or that our culture sucks. And the we only had "local" news. But at the end of the day I always think to myself ,"how is knowing what's going on in another country going to help our country or the people in our community?" We have news in our area because the average American can't go to foreign countries to help people but we can help each other in our areas. So I don't think we are wrong for not knowing what's going on necessarily in other places but I don't think it's important in knowing how we are treating others and so forth, but hearing about someones house in another country burning down isn't important if our next door neighbors house has burnt down. So I think we aren't ignorant but realistic. And is it just me or does it seem like if people stop worrying about what's going on in other places so much and minded their own business and worried about their own countries a lot of this stupid c**p going on right now would be at a minimum? But the questio is how could I voice my opinion and be a nice American and not sound all arrogant at the same time?
