+Today’s world requires us to accept the oneness of humanity. In the past,
+isolated communities could afford to think of one another as fundamentally
+separate. Some could even exist in total isolation. But nowadays, whatever
+happens in one region eventually affects many other areas. Within the context
+of our inter-dependence, self-interest clearly lies in considering the
+interest of others.
