    Global Vs national Concerns

    I'm trying to write a speech on the debate of whether United States should value global concers over national concerns on the negative side.

    The only idea i can think of how our interactions with the spread of communism endangered the nations security.

    Some help would be great!

    What spread of communism? I do hope your not relying on that really silly Domino Theory.

    The debate over anthropogenic climate change (global warming) is one that requires nations to think beyond their own borders. The question of whether or not human activity contributes substantially to climate change has both national and international implications.

    You could talk about the American interventions in the middle east - most notably the foundation and support of Israel has undeniably been a large factor in the rise of terrorist activities against American around the globe.

    Or you could talk about how America is realizing that in order to protect their national interests they have to take care of the global issues first. With the recent two wars being embodiments of this realization.

    Could you explain that? What global issues were they taking care of?
