Should countries be isolated or engage other countries? It may seem strange in the 21 century but the question of whether the countries should be open to the world or isolated is still actual. It is crucial to consider this question because in our globalised world the matter of piece, development and wellfare of humankind depends on it. I personally believe, that countries should not be isolated. I think so, first of all, because progress can be achieved only through cooperation. Our current civilization is the result of the cultural, idealogical and technological interexchange between the nations and countries. So a country cannot evolve and develop without using the global achievements in different areas of human life. For instance, even the most isolated theocratic countries rely on modern technological and military achievements to control and regulate their states. Thus, no country can stay isolated forever if it wishes to be able to compete with the other countries. Additionally the nature of modern economy makes it impossible for countries to remain completely isolated. The truth is, that one particular country cannot produce all the products required to keep the economy running. It has to export the surplus of its domestic products to other countries and import from them the products it needs. Maintaining these kind of operations means engagement in global trade. Moreover, the technological pogress made it impossible for countries to maintain the complete isolation. Nowadays the Internet and mobile devices give all the men opportunities to communicate with each other even from the very long distances. These technologies have actually erased borders between the citizens of every country, enabling them to exchange information despite all the govermental censorship. To sum it all up I think that countries should not choose isolation over engagement to other countries. I think so because my arguments prove that in this century maintaining isolation is impossible.

Should countries be isolated or engage other countries?

It may seem strange in the 21 century but the question of whether the countries should be open to the world or isolated is still actual very current (or a very current topic). actual means = existing in fact, expected,... the estimate was much less than the actual cost

It is crucial to consider this question because in our globalised world the matter of piece, development and wellfare of humankind (does not specifie it very well, maybe: humanity is a better word) depends on it. I personally believe, that countries should not be isolated.

Moreover, the technological pogress made it impossible for countries to maintain the complete isolation.

To sum it all up, ("sum it up is very slang; Maybe: In conclusion, to summarize...) I think that countries should not choose isolation over engagement to other countries. I think so because my arguments prove that in this century maintaining isolation is impossible.

I do believe that this is an independet essay for a TOEFL test, right ? It is very well written and I would guess that you'd be around 4, maybe 4,5 points because your response is well organized, and occasional language errors that ARE PRESENT do not result in inaccurate or imprecise presentation of the content or the connections. However, I recommend you to keep your sentences short and not try to build a long sentence that you might not be able to handle.
