Importance of “Cosmopolitanism” in a particular issue in today’s world

Importance of “Cosmopolitanism” in a particular issue in today’s world
In “Making Conversation and The Primacy of Practice,” Kwame Anthony Appiah suggests that in today’s world people are responsible to people both inside and outside of their own culture. Appiah sees “Cosmopolitanism” as a challenge that requires people to be open and receptive to the way other people do things, but without losing touch with the ways of their own cultures. Using Appiah’s essay and 1 research text, write a 3-4-page essay arguing for the importance of “Cosmopolitanism” in a particular issue in today’s world.
Rough Draft-2 pages minimum; final draft 3-4 full pages
MLA format, Times New Roman, 12-pt. font, double-spaced, typed
Must include a sexy title and a Works Cited page.
Proper heading and running header
What issue will you address? Does your issue derive from a struggle between national/local/cultural values and broader universal values? How can these be balanced? How can “conversation” help to solve the problem? Can the problem ever be solved with both sides appeased?
