Cultural, racial and ethnic groups have mixed and interacted throughout recorded history, often peacefully, such as through trade, but too often violently, in war. We are all products of this cross-cultural contact and mixing. However, modern transportation and other advances in technology, such as the internet, make cross-cultural contacts even faster and easier than ever, bringing new challenges. Meanwhile, modern weapons technology makes cross-cultural conflict ever more dangerous!
