Democracy Is A Universal Value

The Best Hope For Peace In The World Lies In The Simple But Far-reaching Recognition That We All Have Many Different Associations And Affiliations, And We Need Not See Ourselves As Being Rigidly Divided By A Single Categorization Of Hardened Groups, Which Confront Each Other.

Each Human Being Is A Citizen Of The World. We Have Many Identities, Of Which One Of The Identities Is Our Human Identity. And That's Something That The Schools Can Provide, But That Requires Again A Vision Rather Than Being Centers Of Hatred. It Could Be An Enormous Opportunity To Give That Mission.
