• Antiguamente, la diversidad de grupos era en gran medida una cuestión geográfica. Había muchas sociedades, pero cada una, dentro de su propio territorio, era comparativamente homogénea. Pero con el desarrollo del comercio, el transporte, la intercomunicación y la emigración, países como Estados Unidos se componen de una combinación de grupos diferentes con costumbres tradicionales distintas. Es esta situación la que ha forzado, quizá más que ninguna otra causa, la demanda de una institución educativa que proporcione algo parecido a un entorno homogéneo y equilibrado para los jóvenes.

• In olden times when there was a war, it was a human-to-human confrontation. The victor in battle would directly see the blood and suffering of the defeated enemy. Nowadays, it is much more terrifying because a person in an office can push a button and kill millions of people and never see the human tragedy that he or she has created. The mechanization of war, the mechanization of human conflict, poses an increasing threat to peace.
