Why We're Here
9/11 was
an event similar to Pearl Harbor - a bubble-bursting of our false sense
of security and isolationism, the illusion that we're separate from the
rest of the world's problems. The validity of this realization is much
more apparent today. The internet, cell phones, email, satellite TV and
phones all strengthen our interconnectedness to an integrated world. In
terms of the environment, this is very obvious: polluted air and water
don't stop their movement because of nationally-defined borders. Though
not as obvious, the spread of disease, healthy or unhealthy psychological
and cultural attitudes is no less pervasive.
In some ways, we could say that just like we can't have a non-polluted
country when the rest of the world is highly polluted, we can't be truly
healthy when the rest of the world has such huge health and environmental
problems. And with more resources comes more responsibility.
