In 2008, a devastating earthquake struck Wenchuan, a small town of Sichuan, china. Shortly after the disaster, many countries expressed their sympathy and humanity support by either donating large sum of money or delivering millions of tons of items, both of which served as a big relief in such a case. It was because of the helps from all over the world that the people who survived the earthquake could walk through the difficulties and recovered from the great pain quickly.
This event can be a good example to show the significance of global care. As the result of development of modern telecommunication, the geographic boundary has no longer been such a big barrier to limit the flow of information between countries. We suddenly become more informed of the issues of people from other countries. We can almost feel what other country’s people feel especially when they are in big troubles because we are the same race! Sympathy is a deeply rooted human nature.
However, there are also some people who don’t think so. In their views, the limited resources should only be granted to those who speak the same language as they do. They forget a fact that some day they could be in trouble. If they refuse to help others no one will help them in return. So we should care the people not only from our own country but also from other countries no matter how different they look from us!
