Whilst it is true that each country and region may have its own concept of justice and ways of doing things, and that the Western concepts of justice and its norms, are inapplicable to a different country, nevertheless there are some human rights issues that transcend countries and boundaries. These human rights issues can only be recognized if one takes a transcendental stance compared to a narrow stance.

Becoming a more magnanimous and open country as well as being more sensitive to people's plights and more aware of the problems of those outside of our perimeters can only serve to the good of our nation. It distracts us form the greediness that, as foremost capitalist nation of the world, we are apt to sink into and makes us realize that we are, in reality, interconnected. Each country impact the other. The fact that we are blessed with a greater amount of wealth can be used to help deal with the social world problems of those less fortunate than us.
