Global awareness is an understanding of issues of concern that are of relevance globally. It is awareness of what is currently happening around the world all over. Issues of famine, of war, of natural disasters, that affect or cause a chain of reactions to neighboring and distant countries. The understanding of the causes and the effects of these issues and how in turn they relate to an aspect of our lives. Therefore it is essential to understand the reasons behind these issues to counteract them or prepare for them as when they occur.
Global awareness is a very crucial characteristic that one requires in today's world. Being able to define cultural issues internationally with in the local realm is as important as being there itself. In today's world of technology and progress, with boundaries no longer separating continents one must adapt themselves to foreign mannerisms and traditions in order to constitute a mode of communication and understanding to better develop a relationship locally, nationally and internationally.
