Abstract
In a world that is increasingly plagued by insensitivity, ignorance, and incivility, there is an exigent need for individuals to learn to look past their own cultural and ideological boundaries. Investing time in learning about other people, viewpoints, cultures, and communities is an enabling process that allows us to recognize our blindspots and step outside of our own privileges, prejudices, and preconceptions. Even if we never come into personal contact with the communities or people we learn about, we honor them by learning their stories and ensuring they are not forgotten in the world. People need to be understood, and understanding begins with the individual.
