There is so much happening in the world!
To know how to respond requires our attention, our discernment and our Greater Good thinking. The problem is that most of us count on one or two sources for our information. As a result, we Americans develop our ideas about things based on a western, mostly Anglo version of the world without realizing there are other points of view.
Consider how Iceland might view our resistance to environmental wisdom or how South Africa looks at China’s burgeoning economy or what Palestians think of the war in Iraq.
InSpiritry calls us to see ourselves as part of a global family. If you are ready to do that, here are some outlets you might visit. America’s freedom of information is an amazing gift, but we must listen for other voices if we want to understand the world.
A word of warning — this can be a study in open-minded contemplation!
International Herald Tribune - international news, analysis and opinion
Jerusalem Post - Israel’s take on the news
Kyiv Post - a leading Ukranian news magazine
BBC World Service - British source for international news, analysis & information
IAfrica - a leading South African news and information website
Japan Times - Japan’s leading English language daily newspaper
Christian Science Monitor - independent daily news outlet
Aljazeera - a well-known Arabic news network
Irriwaddy - online version of newspaper covering Burma and Southeast Asia
The London Times - the online version of the British newspaper
World Newspapers - an online listing of newspapers around the world
Our ability to impact our world depends on more than just opinion and enthusiasm; we need wisdom and understanding. I hope you’ll visit some of these sites to see how the rest of the world gets their news.
When you are inspired and informed,
You Can Be a Blessing!
