ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the central concerns of the four previous chapters and invites the reader to earnestly engage in Cross-Cultural Conversation with the intent to imagine a new phase of human civilization by “softening” the hard boundaries that perpetuate the “we and they” divide and sustain the polarities of the “winners and losers” along the lines of race and religion, nationality and ethnicity, gender and other criteria of group formations.
While encouraging partnership in various domains of social exchanges, the emphasis is put on altering our attitudes toward the “otherness” of others and thereby introducing a new spin in the dynamics of the “self and the other.” For achieving this, CCC is crucial.
