In our globalized world, many people feel a growing desire for the clear answers and timeless validity offered by straightforward and clear-cut identities. When these identities take the form of nationalism or rigidly defined religious or ethnic categories, the consequence, all too often, is brutal and unrestrained violence, whether through terrorism or civil war.
在我们的全球化世界中，许多人感到越来越渴望获得来自直接而清晰的身份的明确答案和永恒效力。当这些我身份以民族主义或顽固的宗教或种族类别出现时，结果往往是不受约束的野蛮暴力，不管是通过恐怖主义还是内战显现出来。
