There is an opinion that governments and their citizens should approach local issues rather than global ones. I somewhat agree with
this

notion;
however
Linking Words
, I think that global problems should not be neglected as well.
First
Linking Words
, society should tackle local problems because it would not be ethical to allocate funds to other countries when your own nation is in trouble. As it is known, a large number of countries nowadays are facing social and economic issues, which ought to be addressed immediately;
otherwise
Linking Words
, they will become even worse.
For example
Linking Words
, if a government tries to help other countries without solving its own country issues and
then
Linking Words
local unemployment rates will increase as well as the level of life will decrease.
Thus
Linking Words
, it would be appropriate to provide free education and health service for citizens as well as unemployment benefits, and only after that to help others.
However
Linking Words
, there are global issues that affect all people around the world and should be addressed as well.
Such
Linking Words
problems as pollution of the ocean, carbon dioxide emissions, global warming, and famine in Africa and other developing countries in the long term influence the overall well-being of the planet Earth. Not solving them may lead to a global catastrophe, when humans will struggle from a shortage of fresh water and food, pollution-related diseases, etc. In fact, everyone should be aware that we are not living in a bubble; we are living in a connected world, where problems in one part are echoing in another part. In conclusion, I partly agree that societies should concentrate on local problems
first
Linking Words
because the government is responsible for the well-being of their citizens.
However
Linking Words
, global issues
also
Linking Words
should be solved because they influence the quality of life of every human being around the globe.
