Document Summary
David mcraney (cid:523)(cid:854)(cid:852)(cid:853)(cid:853)(cid:524) excerpt from (cid:498)the )llusion of asymmetric )nsight(cid:499) [(cid:857)p] Learned about each other - face off in competitive sports. Assume the other was inferior, spoke badly about them. Masks and personas for different occasions or people. Illusion of asymmetrical insight, lens to see outsiders. You/your group = complex, true, accurate, while the other is black/white, doesn"t understand, biased, shortcomings --> wrong. Can come together, but limited --> never truly get along. Preoccupied with defining essence of enemies --> inferior. **ronald )nglehart and pippa norris (cid:523)(cid:854)(cid:852)(cid:852)(cid:855)(cid:524) (cid:498)the true clash of civilizations(cid:499) Huntington"s west/east divide - muslim world lacks core political values: separation of religious and secular authority. Democracies need to include values and institutions - otherwise just name. Most of the world agrees with the value of democracies. Younger generation in west = more egalitarian vs. younger generations in east = just as traditional. No global consensus of self-expression values (freedom, tolerance)
