Looking at responses to issues from faraway or very different places is beneficial when local solutions fall short, when tackling complex global challenges, to inspire innovative approaches, to promote inclusivity and diversity, and to avoid duplicating efforts. Such an outward-looking perspective can reveal valuable lessons from the successes and failures of others, offering adaptable strategies that might not be immediately apparent within one's local context. By embracing a global viewpoint, we can enhance creativity, efficiency, and effectiveness in solving problems, fostering a richer, more diverse approach to addressing shared challenges.
