This year I will have two International Exchange students in my home, one from Germany and the other from Norway.  I believe things like this help us all learn about each other and our cultures.  I have been looking online for places to volunteer (after the 2 are here) overseas and was very pleased to find many places (I thought you could only go Peace Corps if you know what I mean) that you can volunteer overseas for the price of paying your own transportation to and from and having your own spending money.  People will let you stay in their homes while you are volunteering from Nepal to Brazil to India.  All kinds of places.  Some are even "vacation" volunteering, do while on your vacation.  Gosh, just thinking about it sounds like so much fun and I can't wait to pick a place!!! :)  \n\nTwo great sites I have bookmarked for future reference.  I do have to say that as someone who can't afford to go flying places I did think this was an excellent way to learn about another country/people and be on vacation.  A win-win situation.

To quote a popular political pundit's recent column:\n\nTry showing up in any other country on the planet, illiterate and penniless, and announcing: "I've seen pictures of your country and it looks great. I think I'd like to live here! Oh, and by the way, would you mind changing all your government and business phone messages, street signs and ballots into my native language? Thanks!"

1) convincing the people who have not experienced it that it is a good thing.\n2) making sure that power mongers don't taint it or try to take it over.\n3) making sure the neighboring aggressive countries don't see it as a sign of weakness and attack.\n4) making sure the older democratic countries who are "helping out" don't stick their business all over your country.

Help. We're a good decent people and since we're the only country capable of helping on any kind of large scale, it is our responsibility, unfortunately.

Income of the country must be higher than outgoing but if this balance is not correct then we must bring some changes to the world.

Personally, I would welcome a more multi-cultural Britain. It might shake some people out of their island mentality.\nI also think that seeing as we have a less than perfect record when it comes to the commonwealth and the empire, the least we can do is accept some responsibility and share some of our wealth and good fortune.

Same way any other country does by what will benefit them!

I think we should take care of our own before we worry about other countries.\n\n\ndp

Let's NOT assume there's going to be a world government, get RID of that idea...other countries need to work a lot harder at solving their own problems instead of trying to vote themselves into the United States or whatever...

I think education will do a lot. Inequality is based on the ignorance and misconceptions people have about those who are different than themselves. If you can erase the ignorance by educating people and teaching them to see people as people (without feeling the need to think of the color, sex, religion etc. of people), we will go a long way.\n\nPersonally I don't assume or judge people in advance, I give everyone an equal opportunity to show me what they are like as individuals and what they are capable of. I also fight for and support laws that encourage equality.
