Increased Diversity Theobald suggests that the future will bring greater diversity and awareness of conceptual, cultural, language, and value differences. Serving a monolithic clientele will be over.

Greater diversity presents new challenges to facilitate learning.
Engage in dialogues to understand the nature of conflict among groups. Increase sensitivity to cultural languages of diverse groups, and a need for cultural and technical interpreters to bridge differences. Appreciate visions of creative behavior different from our own. Generate our own visions of the future in the midst of diverse competing interests. Engage in learning about public decisions that emerge from conflicting perspectives of diverse groups and their various solutions to problems.
