Both articles, “Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism” by Martha Nussbaum and “Education and Cosmopolitanism” by Cynthia Scott, relate to each other with similar topics dealing with world citizenship, nationality, and American education system. Nussbaum presents a possible way to change the education system. She points out that American school systems are extremely focused on American culture and nationality. It is her belief that an American student should learn more about other cultures around the world. Her essay puts a lot of emphasis on learning, ”Global citizenship” in school. In the second essay Scott responds to Nussbaum’s essay. Scott’s essay agrees and backs up a few points made in the first essay. Scott agrees with the fact the American school system fails to teach students global issues and the quality of living in other countries. The disagreement Scott brings up is how to fix the problem. She claims that Nussbaum’s solution to the problem will destroy American culture and patriotism.
