ysabetwordsmithPeople have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.
Can people with vastly different cultural backgrounds live together peacefully? How?
Yes. It has happened various times in the past on a wide scale, and still happens although it's usually smaller-scale nowadays.
Methods include but are not limited to:
* Understand that no culture is perfect, and cultures are better or worse at doing particular things. Just like people. So you could always learn something from interacting with others who are different.
* Sometimes mixing cultures leads to spectacular discoveries, like chicken tikka tacos.
* Practice tolerance. Understand that tolerance is only extended to those who also practice it. Bigots may be ejected from the circle of tolerance because they are not members of it.
* Learn other languages. It makes communication easier and broadens thought.
* Study peace skills, participatory decision-making, coping skills, diversity skills, and other things that support a multicultural group.
* Travel as widely as you can. It gives you lots of exposure to different ideas and people.
