In comparison with the human world of past times, our world is highly complex. Because of its highly developed communications, events in every part of the globe and of human society are closely interconnected. There are no isolated disasters and there is no progress that does not help the progress of all.This situation is reflected in the minds of men. The contents of men’s minds have also become worldwide in scope and complexity. It is not enough for a man,seeking the welfare of his own people and country, to consider his domestic situation in relation to his immediate neighbors. World trends encompass every one of us, and it is by participating in them and contributing to them that we influence our own future.
和过去的人类世界相比,我们今天的世界太复杂了。由于通讯高度发达,地球上每个角落和人类社会的各个部分发生的事情都紧密相连。任何灾难都不是孤立的,任何一件事物的发展都会影响到全部事物的发展。这种情况反映到人的思考中,人思考的广度和复杂性也全球化了。对于一个为自己的国家和民族谋求福祉的人来说,仅仅将国内的形势放在与邻国的关系中来考虑是不够的。世界发展的潮流将我们每个人都卷入其中,正是由于我们的参与和贡献。我们也影响着自己的未来。
