Global Neighborhood

To love one’s country is natural, but why must it end at that border. – Pablo Casals
When I was growing up, my parents told me, “Finish your vegetables, because poor people are starving.” Their admonishment didn’t mean much to me because I had never seen someone starving in China or India or anywhere else. Today, because of cable television and the Internet, we regularly see the hungry faces of people in other countries in our living rooms, kitchens, and classrooms. It makes the plight of others more tangible.
