Jordan s culture and history is neither a monolithic and immutable structure, nor has it been overwhelmed and destroyed by global forces. Rather, like one our handcrafted carpets, it is a beautiful fabric of interwoven strands from many sources. And so must be the world culture we hope to weave from the many and varied constituent cultures. We must never forget that this new global system is made up of billions of individuals, each of whom has a face, a voice, and a right to participate. As overwhelming as the idea may seem, the technology is there to give everyone that opportunity.
Ideas are the new world currency.
We must spend ours wisely, to the benefit of others.
