Many today feel that most urgent problems can only be solved by international cooperation.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The argument over many pressing issues today revolves around whether countries around the world should work in tandem to address them. In my opinion, though international cooperation is an ideal way to mitigate many challenges, including climate change and global hunger, it, by and large, fails to be practical measure.
Admittedly, international collaboration holds some promise to tackle most of the current predicaments afflicting the world. That is, the more nations are involved, the easier it will be to eradicate, say, famine or global warming. In case of the former, when industrialized nations work in concert to channel humanitarian aid towards developing parts of the world, the poor stand to benefit most from the collective act of countries rather than individual assistance that weighs comparatively little in value. For example, while one nation directs food to undeveloped African countries, the remaining can aid with education and healthcare so as to thoroughly solve hunger and other problems there. This comprehensive help decidedly turns into a burden when falling onto the shoulders of one country. In a similar sense, signing international accords to monitor each region’s carbon footprint may yield desirable outcomes in combating global warming. That is because environmentally friendly policies implemented by one country could be to no avail whereas other parts of the world decide not to cut down on exhaust fumes released into the atmosphere.
However promising and rewarding the cooperative march of countries may appear, it is too ideal to be of reality. In other words, it proves difficult for different nations to align their priorities and policies, given their vested interest in subject matters. As for channeling humanitarian aid towards less developed countries, many nations may still be reluctant as they struggle to provide for their own citizens during economic recessions let alone foreign ones. For instance, most of the G8 countries are still suffering from the dire consequences of COVID lockdown and it seems preposterous to compel them to put aside resources for other countries while their own residents are encountering unemployment, poor living standards and deteriorating health condition in the aftermath of stringent quarantine measures. The same can be true for establishing green policies. Not only do countries in the Middle East clamor as their economies are more dependent on fossil fuels, but undeveloped areas find it hard to invest in green energy, hence these nations being against international regulations to curb the release of greenhouse gases.
To conclude, if countries around the world work together, they can make a positive change to global warming and starvation, yet considering their varying perspectives, it is not convincing that this collaboration is viable. Instead, nations are better off acting on their own or join like-minded parties so that they will not harm other countries interests and put global harmony at a disadvantage.
