Preparing Youth to Engage the World

These readings emphasized the need for openness to different cultures and to change. In many ways the challenge of global living is a psycho-emotional one: how do we move past resistance to change and fear of the other. The obstacles are powerful. Rationales regarding globalization make sense, but the obstacles we face are our own powerful and primitive human survival instincts.
