Conflict resolution through cultural exchange. Singh, S. In Kim, S. D., Shin, H. J., Yoon, T., Kim, Y. R., & Hong, J., editors, volume 1, pages 361--366, Gwangju, Korea, October, 2006. The Executive Agency for Culture Cities, The Ministry of Culture & Tourism. abstract bibtex Probably the single most important issue common to most conflicts around the world today is differences - between cultures, opinions, beliefs, values etc. Although people of the same kind, we have long shown an inability to adjust to the many differences among us, allowing them to fuel fires that have proven beyond our own control to douse. And while we all realize that any step towards world peace needs to propose solutions to the many global and local conflicts we find ourselves in, we should also appreciate that for any two (or more) parties typically involved in a conflict, a thorough understanding of their differences is a necessary precursor to any hopes of a permanent truce between them. Before any differences can be understood however, they need to be first realized and then recognized. This is only possible when access to means that can expose such differences is available. Popular examples of such means include media, literature and history - sources that have traditionally served us well, but have never been able to escape from external influences such political propaganda and personal biases which can easily render them ineffective. But the unprecedented development of infrastructure over the last decade or so, especially the dense land and air travel network being laid across the global landscape, has highlighted yet another tool for understanding peoples' differences -cultural exchange. Few will doubt that Asia is the most diverse of all continents. It is no surprise therefore that over its history, it has seen its fair share of conflicts. From the Middle East to the Far East, hardly any nation that calls itself Asian can claim to be free of strife. And although many of these conflicts are still as far away from being resolved as they have ever been, the extensive exchange of cultures, enabled by globalization and rapid development, offers a glimmer of hope for the future - for communities that know about their similarities and differences can understand themselves better and thus are less prone to fighting against each other than those who prefer collecting their impressions of those living beyond their walls from biased media and stereotypes rather than first-hand experience.
