______ THE SPEED OF COMMUNICATION DEMANDS A NEW RESPONSIBILITY FR...

105. ______

The speed of communication demands a new responsibility from all people of the world. People in different

countries must try harder to understand each other. An example is that people with different religions must try to

understand each other's beliefs and values, even if they do not accept them. Sometimes their cultures are quite different.

What one group considers a normal part of life is strange to another culture. In some cases, a normal part of one culture

might be bad or impolite to people of another culture. That kind of difference is a possible basis for misunderstanding.

People must learn not to judge others, but to accept them as they are. As the world grows smaller, people must learn to

talk to each other more effectively as well as communicate more rapidly.
