Also, the world is not a bunch of closed systems that occasionally forcibly interact with each other, causing shock and trauma. The world is an interconnected web where ideas, events, issues, problems, and other socio-political endeavours bleed into each other and influence each other much more freely than you might imagine. The interchange is far more profound than any hard nationalist or isolationist would like to concede. Even North Korea, the most sealed off country in the world, is failing to keep the rest of global influence out. Artificially saying that similar phenomena to what's being discussed - just because it's in another part of the world and a different specific context - but where the similarity of application is there to enough of a degree that a wider issue may be present - as being off-limits to discussion is counter-productive, at best.
