Abstract
We are all citizens of the world. In this day of modern technology, one’s neighbors are not only next door but, also, on the opposite side of the globe. We now keep in touch with our world neighbors through instantaneous communications via satellites stationed around the planet. Jet travel takes us to the opposite side of the planet in a matter of hours. The world’s families, their successes and problems, are more closely linked to each of us each day.
