One way to get world views is to listen to short wave radio. Still have mine - and back when I was doing field research, in some areas that was the only way I could get anything other than AM. I had an eye opening by listening to the BBC, or radio Moscow (in english). My evening entertainment in camp was listening to radio shows.
I suppose for the modern era, you could look up internation news web sites, and many are multi-lingual.
AND I AM NOT AN OLD PHART. I got turned on to short wave radios by my brother, who build one from a Radio Shack kit back when he was in 6th grade, and we're talking a complicated kit too. Big Brother is now a Rocket Scientist.
But it's more fun to lie on your cot and twist the radio dial.![]()
