Patriotism, Education, and Cosmopolitanism

I enjoyed reading the two articles "Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism" by Martha Nussbaum, and "Education and Cosmopolitanism" by Cynthia Scott because they were two different viewpoints on the same topic. For the most part the two authors would agree on the issues, but when it came down how they would like to fix it there was some difference. The main points the two shared were that we are all American Citizens and we have a dedication to the country, and that starts with Education. The main problem is that our schools are not global enough. From our first history classes we go over the same thing ever three years in grade school. Both authors would argue that this needs to change and more present day global information needs to be added. When it comes down on how the two approach this. Nussbaum explains on how these things need to change, but never gets into to much depth on how. Scott argues that this is way harder then even Nussbaum realizes. Scott agrees that this change needs to happen but she is more of a realize believing it will not change over night.
