We have this illusion of we live in a global village, but in reality, we really don't live in a global village. We live with somebody who has similar view, similar political view, similar maybe music taste and so forth. So I think the media context is a very interesting one. It is magnified. I mean, physically speaking, right? My dad lives in a village of maybe 150 people, right?

So now we live in a huge, much larger scale village, but at the same time, it is not truly diverse, globalized kind of village, but you're just hanging out with close, like-minded people in the end. So that's how I feel about how that global village versus the real village life look like.

So I think that your life, for instance, going to the military, living in different places. So those are the situations where you really put yourself in a strange situation, strange culture, and really allow you to be immersed with the new environment. And what I was saying in terms of global village in terms of media, social media and so forth, has the illusion of these real exposures.

But in reality, maybe exposure is just like a little village that you're just still talking to the very people who share the same kind of backgrounds and viewpoint. I think it is really important to distinguish what we think is a real face-to-face, the real exposure to the culture and outside world versus sort of the illusion of the exposure to the outside world through media and so forth.

I think that openness to experiences is a huge factors and huge predictor of psychological richness. And the people who, for instance, college students who study abroad, are very different than those people who are not willing to, and the mindset of openness, just exploration, see what what's out there, I think is the most important first step. And

And

when you put yourself in a completely different worldview and world, then finally you start, you know, beginning to see what the other side or other people view us and also life in general. So I think it is very increasingly difficult to see the other side because we have this illusion of we are seeing what's happening all over the world, but not really because we're not seeing

really putting ourselves online and seeing that the other side. So it is difficult. It is ugly sometimes. It's really challenging to do. So I truly admire those people who do.
