"معظمنا يعيش في أحياء مفصولة على أساس العرق والدخل. سياستنا تعكس تلك الحدود. الأشخاص المتعلمون لا يتحدثون مع الأشخاص غير المتعلمين. الأشخاص المتدينون لا يتحدثون مع الأشخاص غير المتدينين. إذا كنا نقضي معظم وقتنا مع أشخاص يشبهوننا ويشبهون طريقة تفكيرنا ويتحدث"

— Michelle Obama

Simplified Meaning:

People often live and interact within groups that are quite similar to them, whether that's based on income, race, education level, or beliefs. For example, someone who has a college degree might rarely talk to someone who didn't finish high school. This separation affects our understanding and attitudes towards others. It creates a divide where people don’t understand or relate to those who are different from them. Because of this, our communities and political views become more divided. To improve this, we should actively seek out and engage with people who are different from us. This can help us understand various perspectives and reduce divisions in society.
