Diversity in Our Future

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Albert Schweitzer

ODE magazine (December 2005; www.odemagazine.com) identified ten trends that could reshape our lives over the next 25 years ("Your World in 2015"). One of their predictions was: diversity is central to economic and cultural vitality. They explained....

"Welcome to the multiethnic, multiracial world of open borders where no one needs a passport. The mix of races, religions, and nationalities determines the wealth of nations. The most vibrant and attractive cities shall be the most diverse, no longer defined by the nations where they are located but infused with a unique blend of influences from all over the planet. The more diversity the better. We already see this today in how the best, most creative soccer teams are those that unite races and nationalities. The United States was the most diverse and economically successful nation of the 20th century. Diversity makes economic sense."
