5. I welcome any efforts that recognize, promote and support diversity. Religious, cultural, political.

We *are* a diverse world. Interesting that the author notes increased technology and communication as a factor in that awareness.

(Side note) I read a good piece in the Monitor that looked at statistical analysis of religious, social, cultural customs done in western universities. In many instances the studies were done by sampling the most readily available cohort - the university's' own grad students. So results were dependent on the diversity of the student body. And at times limited by level of diversity.

It was an "Aha!" type article that made the case of a much more diverse and tolerant world than assumed. If I drag up the article, I'll post it here (CSM doesn't always include their in-print pieces on the website).
