What happens in one region affects people across the world.

Any atrocity that's committed against one person affects us all, and we are becoming more of one society, of a global society, so something that happens in the Middle East or something that happens in Africa, something that happens in Asia, affects all of us.

Global interdependence today means that economic disasters in developing countries could create a backlash on developed countries.

Things happening around the world are affecting you and me.

The world is a place that is so interconnected that what happens in another part of the world will impact us.

Globalisation will make our societies more creative and prosperous, but also more vulnerable.

Wars of any magnitude release powerful social and economic forces which can change the whole face of the world.

For the U.S., as the largest player in the global environment, unintended consequences are magnified.

All around us are the consequences of the most significant technological, and hence cultural, revolution in generations.

Almost half of the population of the world lives in rural regions and mostly in a state of poverty. Such inequalities in human development have been one of the primary reasons for unrest and, in some parts of the world, even violence.
