International isolation

International isolation happens when a group of people or country is ignored or left out by other countries because of things they've done or said. It's like being left out of a game or party because you did something that made your friends upset.

When a person or a country is isolated, other people or countries might ignore them, not talk to them or do business with them. This can be very difficult for them because they might not be able to get things they need, like food, medicine, or supplies to make things. This can also be very lonely and sad because they might not have friends to talk to or visit with.

Countries can be isolated for many reasons. If a country is mean to other countries, bullies them or tries to hurt them, other countries might not want to deal with them anymore. Sometimes, a country has different beliefs or ideas about how things should be done and this can cause other countries to isolate them. The same goes for people - if we say mean things to others or treat them unfairly, they might not want to be our friend or spend time with us.

Being isolated is not a good thing, and it’s essential to be respectful and kind to others to prevent it. We must work together and get along with people and countries around the world so that we can all live together in peace and enjoy the good things that life has to offer.
