Description
Expanding your circle introduces you to people from different backgrounds, helping you to understand diverse perspectives and to become more empathetic and open-minded. Studies show that having networks or even friends from different cultural backgrounds tend to be more open-minded and understanding. Interacting with new people gives you a glimpse into their world, broadening your cultural understanding and teaching you to appreciate differences.
