27. How do you think increased travel unites Europe?
28. What are some forces working against the EU cultural identity?

1. The EU creates harmony on the continent.

In the past, European nations were often combative with one another. Many divisions have come out of Europe over the generations, including wars that are far too numerous to list. Civil wars were also common on the continent, leading up to the 20th century. The joining of the 28 member states of the European Union has helped to lessen the number of conflicts that have occurred, which has created better safety for Europeans from an overall standpoint.

2. The EU has helped to modernize countries.

Members have become modern nations thanks to the benefits of being part of the European Union. Specific criteria for membership include making commitments to human rights, have a specific rule of law, and following a market economy. This prevents discrimination and provides due process across the continent while encouraging socioeconomic growth at the same time.

3. The European Union has helped to improve local environments.

Since the formation of the EU, the quality of the seas and beaches that are found throughout the continent have improved dramatically. This is because of regulations that were implemented at a Union level. More than 90% of European tourist locations meet minimum water quality standards today, which is a vast increase from the 1950s.

4. Job creation occurs because of the existence of the European Union.

In the United Kingdom, up to 10% of all employment opportunities are directly linked to the EU. The United States has employment ties to the European Union as well. Without that structure, those jobs and the economics they provide would disappear. Millions of people would be displaced and billions would disappear from the global economy.

5. It creates another level of international security.

European nations have a form of mutual protection through NATO. Belonging to the United Nations provides another level of security. The European Union provides a third level of security that allows for local intelligence services to have access to improved data sharing and military resources that can keep the population safer than if the Union did not exist.
