A broader perspective promotes better understanding, brings
people together and increases the chances of world peace. It helps create
empathy and sympathy both at individual and societal level. Thus, it should be
encouraged in education and through the media. You can start now by following
the advice of Bertrand Russell who famously said and I quote: “ In all affairs, it is a healthy thing
now and then to hang a question mark on things you have taken for granted”. Do our research and write an essay discussing
the advantages of a broader perspective.
