It truly is a small world after all. As globalization increases, we have more opportunities to befriend and collaborate with diverse people. Plus, as the U.S. becomes more racially, religiously, and economically diverse, we now find ourselves interacting with people who are culturally different and have stories, joys and challenges that are nothing like our own. Beyond that, we can now more easily see the ways in which the world is not as it should be: there is hunger, violence, racial discord, human trafficking, the oppression of women and girls, and more.
