Whether voluntary organizations should support people within their territory or distribute help across border has become a heated topic of discussion. This essay will analyze both standpoints and provide reasons why I lean towards the perspective of cross-border aids.
One school of thought posits that charity units should dwell on tackling domestic problem like unemployment, homelessness or poverty as this resources is supposed to prioritize national issues and cater to the need of its own citizens. Moreover, distributing budgets oversea can lead to lack of support and less resources for ameliorating inland problems. For examples, the unemployed or the homeless can be offer a greater amount of money or better accommondations to survive if charity budgets stay within their homelands.
On the other hands, advocates for international supports contend that it is humanitarian responsibility to assist each other when it comes to serious issues. To be more specific, natural disasters or global pandemics like Yagi storm or Covid-19 neccessiate urgent aids including human resources, food, medicine, money… as it takes government of the affected nation such a long time and huge supplies to handle the damages. Furthermore, in an increasingly globalized world, human suffering is universal regardless of nationality, hence, problems in one country can affect others such as through migration or economic recession. For instance, providing aids for tackling crisis in one nation can prevent refugee crisis influencing neighboring countries.
In conclusion, both arguments have their stances, however, I believe charity should transcend border for the sake of universal citizen, helping to ensure global stability and bolster interconnectedness.
