The role of one government to support citizens of other countries has been a major

topic of concern in today’s society. From my perspective, this practice


is feasible, and there are compelling reasons why governments should help people
in the global community rather than only focusing on the citizens of their own
countries.

In this context of globalisation and international integration, the provision of


assistance for peoples of all countries in the world is not an impossible task
anymore. One explanation for this is that modern means of
transport have transformed the way that international assistance could be given,
and now assistance could reach even the most remote places on Earth. For
example, thousands of victims of a deadly earthquake in a mountainous city in
Nepal were rescued by US and German military helicopters in 2014. One further
explanation is that thanks to international banking, the international community
could offer a helping hand to any country where the financial system is on the
verge of collapse. An excellent example of this is that the saving money of
millions of taxpayers and pensioners in Greece was saved by a timely act of the
European Commission of injecting a huge amount of bailout money into Greek
banks in 2009.

I strongly believe any government must assume the responsibility of helping


citizens in other countries. This is mainly because assisting inhabitants in other
countries, to some extent, is synonymous to assisting people in the home
country. In 2014, hundreds of US and UK doctors and nurses were sent to African
countries to cope with the outbreak of Ebola, a dreadful plague, which had killed
many thousands by that time. This action prevented the plague from further
spreading to other nations, including the US and the UK themselves, considering
that there was a free movement of people between countries and there were
millions of African migrant workers in the US and the UK at that time. Besides,
the act of supporting people all around the world may promote a sense of
humanity, which is essential to the sustainable development of the world,
because humanity is the foundation of peace and stability.
To conclude, governments must assist citizens of other countries for a clear reason
that this feasible act could simultaneously enhance a global sense of humanity and
assure their own nationals of a proper living environment.
