We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned with our own countries or communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Many people believe that since we cannot reach all people in need across the world, we should only care about our own countries' issues. I do disagree with
this
viewpoint as we can help as many people as possible regardless of where they are. In my opinion, it seems wrong that we cannot help people from other countries. There are a number of opportunities for people of all ages
to do
Suggestion
do
volunteer work in any foreign country where
inhabitants
Suggestion
the inhabitants
are impoverished and disadvantaged. Aside from helping people on-site, those who are concerned about their issues can donate clothing or financial support through international charity institutions. Even when we cannot provide the disadvantaged living thousands of miles away with tangible items, it is totally possible to encourage contributions from other philanthropists through sharing and connecting on social networking sites.
For example
, with the explosion of online platforms,
such
as Facebook, Instagram, a story about a person bravely fighting against cancer can widespread be shared,
thus
creating domino effects with more people helping him or her. At the same time, it is always essential to help our
neighbors
a person who lives (or is located) near another
neighbours
and fellow citizens.
However
, the globalization requires more of our engagement in dealing with transnational problems whose examples can be environmental pollution and diseases. Particularly, the environment would not get polluted in a specific region separated from others, so protecting the environment must be considered all individuals' responsibility.
For example
, regarding an ailment, people who had died of virus disease in Africa should have been saved
with
Suggestion
by
vaccines sponsored by affluent nations. If without proper control, that disease would probably become a pandemic posing a threat to all humankind,
such
as COVID 19, SAR.
Then
some seemingly national or local problems would no longer be as they might look. In conclusion, indeed, we cannot help everyone, but national borders will never stop us from reaching people in need, sometimes helping others mean contributing to ourselves.
