Description
By better understanding the history and cultures of other traditions, we can step out of our own narrow perspective of the world, and enter into a wider, far-encompassing vision of the global community. Such a view, and the understanding of diversity which must accompany it, will be increasingly necessary in the 21st century as constantly improving communications and transportations networks bring even the most widely separated corners of the globe into closer contact. Already the demand for inspired leaders who possess the skills to negotiate in an increasingly interactive world community has outstripped the supply. People from every professional and academic field must develop their ability to work within the international community, which means developing their ability to accommodate difference and diversity. Cultural sensitivity, the ability to adapt to ever-changing situations and demands, a balanced view of the world and its political, economic, and cultural patterns, a willingness to experience the unfamiliar all these will be extremely vital qualities in the well-rounded leaders of the future.
