Abstract

As a result of globalization, boundaries such as national borders and gender are becoming indistinct. Communities connecting people of various intellectual interest and sporting activity have also evolved, transcending boundaries of region, kin and national borders. We can also say that the world is becoming closer in terms of space and human relations through urbanization and networking. This paper discusses the role of human resources, education, and language in enabling the creation of comfortable communities where people of diverse language backgrounds and cultures can live as neighbors.
