Support is given only to countries whose beliefs are the same to that of the supporting nation

Real World Example

Moral diplomacy was a policy introduced by President Woodrow Wilson during the early 20th century as part of U.S. imperialism. It aimed to support countries with similar democratic and moral values while opposing those with different beliefs, which was a shift from previous policies that focused on economic and military interests. This was important because it responded to criticisms of U.S. foreign interventions being driven by greed and power, trying to align American actions with its values of democracy and human rights. In everyday life today, moral diplomacy connects to how nations and individuals choose their allies and partnerships based on shared values and principles. For example, when countries or people decide to support businesses or communities that promote environmental sustainability, they are practicing a form of moral diplomacy by aligning their actions with their beliefs in protecting the planet.
