Mindsets

My friend Karl just sent me a notice about the latest mindset list from Beloit College. This is an annual list, and the older I get the more painful it is to read. He sends it to me because Beloit is my alma mater (I actually usually get it from several people who know that I went to Beloit).
I always enjoy reading it because at least once a year it is good to be reminded how the world is changing and how the attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of the people around us are so different. Beloit's list only tells us of the difference in mindset among, presumably, middle-class Americans.
The world as I understand it is the same for many people in my own social networks, but not everyone. And there are vast networks of people with whom the basis for conversation is some narrow space -- but one that has many doors.
