Welcome to WorldVillage
It's often said that the world is shrinking.
Maybe, maybe not. It often seems to me that the cultural differences that make the world such a fascinating place to me, are the same things that are keep us apart.
Here in America, race, class and politics more often than not define and frame our discussions of almost every issue. In the larger global community religion and nationalism join the list.
The diversity of families, people and cultures, the role of the media and our increasing lack of civility to each other are issues we care about. These are at the heart of our thoughts about the place we call the WorldVillage.
