Approaches to thinking about world events are informed by filters through which we understand and interpret what's happening. These approaches are shaped by experience, culture, our own sense of history, and the information resources available to us. The Web offers access to worldwide resources from which we can draw points of view, commentary, and analysis. Americans have daily access to news as disseminated in the United States. Many of the links on this page are to resources from outside the United States.
