America is more divided these days than it has been for many decades. My own family hasn't been immune to this division either; in fact, it's been even further complicated since we immigrated from China, a nation that has been under fire from all over the political spectrum in the US. I've dealt with people on both the left and the right in my own family AND family members who strongly oppose the Chinese government and those who are openly sympathetic to it despite being American citizens for decades! It really makes the political compass and the division it maps look quite tame and naive, especially when you add that latter dimension on top of it.

These are just some of my thoughts on what I could do to contribute to lessening the divide, not only in America but in the world. Some I practice regularly, others are just ideas I've brainstormed right then and there (so there's no guarantee they might work.)
