Miniature World
Part of Intercordia’s vision is to educate ourselves in order to better understand the roots of injustice and to become ever more aware of the growing gap between the rich and poor in our world. I lifted this youtube link from Jennifer’s blog because it does just that:
Xenophilia: An Interview With Ethan Zuckerman on CBC Radio
According to Ethan Zuckerman, a a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, “Xenophilia is about connecting with people, not with cultural artifacts or other things. Liking Japanese food or Senegalese hiphop doesn’t make you a xenophile - xenophilia is about making connections across language and cultural barriers… Xenophilia is broader than the love for a specific culture or an aspect of that culture - it’s a broader fascination with the complexity and diversity of the world. Xenophilia changes your behavior, especially your behavior in seeking for information, leading you to pay attention not just to the parts of the world that have caught your attention, but to others that you know little about.”
