With Head and Heart: Surveying Global Culture Since September 11th

The events of September 11th, 2001 are etched indelibly in our national consciousness and we have been made painfully aware of our connection to and place in the global village. Our government has formulated and is conducting a military response. This article is seeking to bring to the forefront the need for a new paradigm for international engagement built on the recognition of an every-changing world scene, the fragility of geographical and cultural boundaries, the poverty of human dignity, and a call for action grounded in intelligent understanding. This essay suggests that anything less will lead to the continual creation of ideologies that enshrine prejudices and foster injustices based on fallacious argument. Subsequently, a balanced response to September 11th must incorporate head and heart.
