Global Mindset

Achieving a global mindset is the first step towards global competence whose prevalence leads to world peace and growth. The differences of customs and traditions formulate peoples’ various ideologies, and the troubles that come from the disparity indicate the focal points to problem-solving. Managing the disconnect in societies where citizens are socialized to deal with people who are like them entails development of an approach that helps them interpret and grasp their environments, as well as their ways of thinking.

A global mindset requires advancement of one’s intellectual, mental, emotional and social capacity. A cosmopolitan outlook allows cognitive complexity. A habit of reflecting on one’s own mind and outlook results in self-awareness and growth. A love for knowledge and diversity brings capability of empathy and self-worth. A desire for interactive discourse and human progress solidifies cultural acceptance and tolerance.

As one learns about cultures, political and economic systems, he or she reaches beyond comfort zones and nurtures a mindset that respects and appreciates others. Openness towards other cultures, other people, and other ways of living or doing things helps one adapt to new, varied and diverse universality. Exploration, then, is the opposite of blind fear or obstinacy. Only when one seeks to utilize learnings and explorations, can he or she embrace diversity and attain global competence. Without judgmental views of cultural differences, the world can become more connected, finding ways to cooperate and collaborate with their differences, instead of on their differences.

In this protectionist era, the U.S. and the U.K. increasingly seek to fight against globalization via trade wars, among other tactics. History has proven that nationalism or protectionism only leads to long-term losses. Globalization, started in the late 15th century through the expansion of global trade, and has heightened global awareness ever since. To this day, its force is unending, as manifested in China's Belt & Road initiative, which seeks to link the country with Europe and Africa. Any country averting from the globalization path will lose serious competitive advantages in the future.

Bigotry, nationalism, and chauvinism can only hurt. Cultivating diverse and inclusive cultures, while opening our closed minds to new ideas, on the other hand, will benefit our domestic and global communities.

全球心态

实现思维全球的心态是迈向具备全球文化能力的第一步，其普遍性将导致世界和平与增长。习俗和传统的差异塑造了人们的各种意识形态，这种差异带来的议题标志了解决问题的重点。人们在其生活的社会中常以应对与他们相似的人的行为准则来看待世界，管理此种脱节的思维方式并开发全球意识有助于解释和掌握人居住的环境以及其思维方式。

全球化的思维方式要求提高一个人的智力，心理，情感和社交能力。全球性的观点允许人们认知复杂性，并反思自己的思想和观点习惯而导致自我意识的认知和成长。对知识和多样性的热爱带来了同理心和认定自我价值的能力。对互动话语和人类进步的渴望巩固了文化的接受和宽容性。

当人们了解文化，政治和经济系统时，他或她会超越其舒适区域并培养尊重和欣赏他人的心态。对其他文化，其他人以及其他生活或做事方式的开放有助于人们适应新的，多面的和多样化的普遍性。因此，探索世界与盲目的恐惧或顽固相反。只有当人们寻求利用学习和探索时，他或她才能拥抱世界的多样性并获得全球文化能力。解除了对文化差异的负面观点，世人就会变得更加亲密，并可找到合作方式，就差异来合作，而不会因差异而疏离。

在这个保护主义时代，美国和英国皆寻求通过贸易战和其他战术来对抗全球化。历史证明，民族主义或保护主义只会导致长期损失。全球化始于15世纪后期，通过扩大全球贸易，从此提高了全球意识。直到今天，它的力道无穷无尽，正如中国的“一带一路”倡议所表明，该倡议旨在将该国与欧洲和非洲联系起来。任何避免全球化道路的国家将来都会失去竞争优势。

偏执，民族主义和沙文主义只会带来伤害。反之，培养多元化和包容性的文化，同时促进人们对新思想的包含能力，将有利于我们的国家和全球社区。
