These days we’re more connected than ever through technology. But the more connected we are, the less we seem to really know about each other. So if I ruled the world, the first thing I’d do would be to set up a national cultural exchange scheme. This would mean everyone at some point would spend a month living with a community or group of people that he or she feared or even hated.
Sometimes it seems like we’ve become so polarised, so obsessed with our own point of view that we fail to understand people different from ourselves. But the only way to truly connect is to walk in somebody else’s shoes.
