Interdependence
What we do in one part of the world has an effect on people in another part of the world.
The actions of an individual can have effects, often in places they have never seen. For example, the purchases we make as consumers can have effects on economies, businesses and the environment both locally and far away. Our votes in elections or our decisions about building and economic developments can have effects at local, national and international levels.
Understanding interdependence leads to a non- isolated and non-self-interested view of the world.
Interdependence is about how everybody in the world needs to cooperate to make life better for all.
