The European Union is a role model for the rest of the world. From it's birth, it has sought to bring about political, social, and economic unity throughout the continent of Europe. The 27 current member countries, though greatly diverse, share the same love for democracy, and peace. It respects human rights, and it's achievements in the field are remarkable as are its contributions to developing countries. The European Union is a symbol for a better future, and it's accomplishments in a plethora of fields serves as inspiration to me. The European Union's positive involvement in human rights issues, and it's charitable deeds towards developing countries mean that there is hope for a better future for my generation. I am a strong advocate of a person’s natural rights and want a career in Europe in that field, and look up to the Union on matters of that subject.

Citizens of all member nations are granted their basic human rights which include the right to life, dignity, and equality. The death penalty, which I'm strongly against, is abolished, and the Union is an advocate in abolishing capital punishment worldwide. The European Union is also the largest donor of foreign aid; 11 billion dollars are dedicated towards relief for underpriviledged countries each year. I am from Bangladesh, and many programs to help the poor are funded from donated money from the Union. Democracy and safety are important parts of my life, and the Union’s attempts to protect the world mean security for me. Member nations participate with each other and countries around the world to discuss among other matters, how war can be avoided and terrorism stopped. Combining their safety forces to fight international crime, guarantees a secure world for me. Democracy is also a factor of the Union that I respect. It has campaigned to bring to justice to those wrongly accused, and worked to prevent any threats to democracy.

The European Union's many feats are evidence of it's greatness and cause me to admire it. The Union has been dedicated to provide a secure environment, to millions of people including myself, and has done it’s share to prevent terrorism. The accomplishments of the Union in the human arena field inspire me to carry on with my goals in that field. The European Union has had a positive impact on the lives of numerous people, and it is inevitable that many more in the future will be surrounded by opportunities from this alliance.
