Patriotism & Cosmopolitanism, Education & Cosmopolitanism

“Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism” and “Education and Cosmopolitanism” are both readings that are similar and differ in many ways. Nussbaum’s writing issues four ways of making the educational system a little more focused on citizenship rather than national aspects. First, Nussbaum spoke about making the educational system cosmopolitan, second being global knowledge and planning around the world, third being global recognition, and fourth being aware of decisions that we make everyday that could possibly affect others. Scott’s reading was essentially a response to the first reading by Nussbaum. American’s don’t understand the living arrangements in other countries, therefore, making it harder to understand what other people around going through throughout the world.
