Global consciousness promotes peace

Global consciousness promotes peace because it makes one aware of more than
their own view. I was watching an interview on Farred Zakaria's GPS where British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband talked about how in a country such as Iran, the more people feel international the less confrontational they want to be, and the more points of view that are available to them. I can not think of a better way to obtain global consciousness than travel and studying abroad.
