in a current global climate, where the world's getting flat + narrow so you can hold it on
your palm, it's an obscure reality to find the tiniest difference could be blown up to be a
very destructive force. we need intercultural dialogue to precisely deal with the aforementioned
useless destructive potential. a dialogue where not only differences are recognized, admitted,
and discussed, but also a dialogue in which spaces are utilized in a process where finding
similarity is its core ideal. because in the end, human beings are the same.
dalam iklim global seperti sekarang, di mana di satu sisi, dunia menyempit seakan-akan dapat diraup dalam segenggaman tangan, adalah sesuatu yang aneh ketika di sisi sebaliknya, perbedaan sekecil apa pun dapat diperbesar menjadi kekuatan-kekuatan penghancur yang mengerikan. untuk mengatasi potensi penghancuran tak perlu tersebutlah dialog antar budaya diperlukan. bukan sekedar sebuah dialog dimana perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut dikenali, diakui, dan dibahas namun juga pemanfaatan ruang yang menjadi sebuah proses pencarian persamaan. karena pada akhirnya, semua manusia terlahir sama.

As a citizen of a nation with myriad of culture, belief, religion and more- I deem intercultural
dialogue as a necessity to equal, universal development. It\\\'s amazing how a sincere dialogue
walk people from different backgrounds to a common desirable end.Given that intercultural dialogue
is practiced with sustainability-there is no reason why a region in the world will be divided.

I understand interculural dialogue as a process of interaction between persons of two of more
cultures, regardless of the extent of diversity thereof, which results in an introduction to
and deeper understanding of each other\\\'s cultures. The end result of such disalogue may
either strengthen the pre-conceived notions or reduce/displace negative perceptions of the
participants about the other culture(s). The significance of such intercultural dialogue has
become exceedingly central in today\\\'s world of cultural andreligious conflicts.

I have been to Brazil as an exchange student, I met a lot of people from around the world,
we don\\\'t know each other before the beginning, and later we learned about each other\\\'s
culture and way of life, at the end we became friends.
我之前有去過巴西當交換學生,我接觸了很多來自世界各國的人,剛開始我們互不相識,到後來我們瞭解了彼此的文化以及生活方式後就變成了朋友。
