Document Summary
Nation- a group of people that sees itself as belonging together in some meaningful sense as a unit that has an identity, and that is distinct from other groups. Nationalism- recognition of, and attachment to, ones nation. The conception that as all people are human beings, we share a common morality and therefore belong to one global community. Respect for different cultures takes place, not because cultures matter in themselves, but because people matter, and culture matters to people . If we all belong to a shared community, do we not all share a responsibility to one another. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings. - nelson mandela. According to world bank: a person is considered poor if his or her income level false below some minimum level necessary to meet basic needs. This minimum level is usually called the poverty line.
