THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN what then is this global perspective I talking about all quarter in tins column? And boss can the WCU community go about dcseloping this ness? Obvious!) tins perspective begins m ■ move mini ass as from the constrictions of purely present and local perspectives. This already has its beginning in the expanded psychological flexibility necessary tor role learning in our large hetero gencous national society. We have already begun learning to function well with groups of Americans whose life styles differ from our own. From this we ought to progress to the advanced versatility ot "global psyches" that reach out beyond the confines of ihe home culture to trans-cultural Unfortunatel) much education todas lies allegoric .ills in a land of permanent dusk, rough in terrain. through sshich ssinds a darkly gleaming riser. Hen and there across the landscape and along the riser canipliiis t>loss. Around each fire a cluster of people sit, huddled against the dark, preoccupied CAP Center holds awareness groups Two Self-Awareness Groups for Women will be beginning next week.

Each group has developed distinctive ssass of Irving, ssass that seem appropriate and natural to its members, bizarre and threatening to outsiders. In the darkness sshich separates each group from another contacts can only communicate distorted parodies of actual cultures. Bui noss imagine (bear ssith me!) that the long night is nearing its end. Because 1 think that the human species' potential is al such a juncture. The gradual enlargmenl of our circles of awareness otters us ihe possibility. through ness knowledge of boss diverse social and cultural systems ssork. of sensing realities and patterns sse base onls imagined before. With greater global awareness sse can see that all the residents of this planetary salles share the same flossing water. We may even learn lo sec trends and patterns in the distance of both time and space and perhaps begin to accurately imagine ihe future consequences of present actions. reaching and learning from a global perspective can make our old single cultural tire svorshipping dass seem pale.
