Travel Serving As A Political Act

How do we define Travel and how can it be used for social good?

Travel by definition, is the making of or attending a journey. The definition can be much broader than this. Travel is not only the act of going places, it can also be the act of witnessing other cultures. Seeing the way people in other countries live can not only change one’s perspective on something but it can also help them to understand why the world is so different. Traveling to a different country is one of the most enjoyable things we as people get to do. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

How exactly can travel be used as a political act? I personally believe that it can be used as a political act in ending racism as well as spreading cultural diversity. An example of this can be seen at International Schools. International Students are some of the smartest and open minded people I have ever met. They are all fasinated in learning about you as a person. They will overwhelm you with questions concerning your own country and why you moved so much. They just have a general instinct to learn more about cultures that differ from their own. Traveling will broaden any individuals mind and over time, they will definitely learn to appreciate it.
