At
around 2:54 in the video “Exploring Infinite Diversity in Infinite
Combinations” for 6.2, Scott Mantz says “You
know, I'd like to think we're getting closer and closer to having
IDIC here on Earth.”
While it may sometimes seem as if his is a very optimistic view,
given what seems like an increase in disrespect for others who don't
look like us (whoever 'us' may be), there also seems to be a more
positive approach to acceptance of the 'other'. This acceptance may
not be as well publicized as the more negative view, but I see it in
the support for refugees and immigrants in my small rural community.
As people come to Canada and make their home here, as my ancestors
did 230+ years ago, they will become part of the texture of the
country. It may not be an easy process, and it is difficult to say
what exactly it will look like. I would guess, and hope, that the
difference might be that in the process we learn from each other and
come to see that, in our 'Infinite Combinations', we are are all
quite similar.
