International Relations affect many aspects of our everyday lives. It can limit the things we do, places we go, and future plans. An example of International Relations affecting everyday life would be the limitation we face when wanting to travel. We think we are limited in the places we can travel because of the hostility that some nations have towards the United States and its citizens. For example, if we wanted to participate in a sporting event or educational conference in a country that has ill feelings towards Americans, we would feel uneasy or not be able to attend at all. We wouldn’t want anyone wishing to come to the United States to feel that way, and we are accepting and welcoming of all persons that come to the United States, especially for sporting events or educational conferences. Unfortunately, people place labels and have misconceptions about people because a small few give the rest a bad name. Referring to the September 11th attacks, many Middle Easterners feel unwelcome at home, and when wishing to come to the United States, might face a harder time getting here. We feel that this is wrong and we make sure to not have such attitudes, and in this way we affect international relations.
