Precisely, @evehuman! I believe that this failure to find commonality is the breeding ground for racism, sexism, an all the other "isms" and issues that our nation and world fight about. At the very basic level, recognizing the common ground of sharing in the human race, we should be compelled to compassion for our neighbors. From my studies in psychology and counseling, and the great opportunities I have had to design and run research studies, I have learned that we must be motivated by humility and compassion. These two factors will help us remain teachable and truthful in reporting our findings. Research can be so exciting!
