"On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers"
- Adlai E. Stevenson
About this Quote
Adlai E. Stevenson's quote talks to the shrinking of the world due to advances in innovation and transportation. In the past, it was much more difficult to travel and communicate with people from different countries and cultures. Now, with the internet, planes, and other types of transportation, it is a lot easier to get in touch with individuals from all over the world. This quote recommends that, due to the shrinking of the world, it is no longer possible for individuals to live as complete strangers. We are all connected in some way, and it is important to recognize and appreciate the diversity of cultures and perspectives that exist in the world. It is necessary to recognize that we are all part of a global community which we must strive to understand and appreciate one another.
