We were having a discussion about third world countries, when my gf said that she had no interest in working in or with countries with rape and murder. So I told her that is a generalization and that these problems can also be found in the Developed world. Then somewhere in the conversation she adds that she has no interest in working with crazy people. She majored in Political Science, I majored in Business. So she went on and made the case as to why her statement was accurate providing examples of third world countries where there’s chaos etc. At one point during the conversation she started to raise her voice (Probably because she was annoyed at having to explain herself) so I in turn got annoyed and I guess she could tell. She got up, left the room and said *you’re not even listening* started slamming doors etc. clearly showing that she was pissed off. I had to head to work so I went up to her after getting dressed, told her bye and headed out…Now what should I do from here?

You two should get mature, agree to disagree, and hope that she is never forced to go to a foreign country she doesn't approve of! If this doesn't bother you to your core, focus on your relationship and not on world events. Let her know that her opinion counts--whether you agree with it or not. And move on...

Eh', you had a disagreement. You two may have felt strongly about these things, or maybe not, but it's still just a disagreement. It's not like you two are fighting because you're both cheating. Just go home, try and talk to her, agree to disagree, let her know she was heard and that you two disagree, try to smooth it all out and be done with it.

you should not apologize, we all have our own opinion and thoughts on certain issues. its your right to feel the way you do and if you say your sorry its like telling her she was right.
to avoid this happening again, just dont discuss these issues again.
me and my husband argue over religion, so. we dont talk about it and we do just fine.

Call her and apologize. You don't have to apologize for what you said but how you said it. You both were annoyed. And if necessary don't have those "deep" conversations

Call her and tell her you love her and didn't mean to make her angry - you didn't mean to anger her right?
