Interdependence is the theory that humans are mutually dependent on each other for our own well being. US President Franklin Roosevelt clearly explains this in his following quote: "We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations, far away.... We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community."
The quote directly relates to the world we live in today. Through technologies and communications countries around the world are becoming more and more interconnected everyday. For instance, the recession in one country can easily spread and affect other countries; a good example of this is the European Debt Crisis. In addition, as a global community we are all affected by and taking part in Climate Change.
This is a good post! I agree that technology links the world so much closer. i also think that transportation has made us closer. Where is took months to sail to places now it takes just a few hours. Also I like your example of the European Debt Crisis and global warming!
