Excerpt from Man's Great Adventure: An Introduction to World History

Young Russ1a has a challenge; so has Young] India and Young China. And so has Young euro-america.1 It is hard to put his challenge into words that will not sound melo dramatic, for that challenge is almost in a class by itself. His parents and grandparents had nothing like it to face. In their youth, whether that youth was spent in America -or in some European land, the challenge that came to them was little more than a call to make their native land bigger and better. He, whether he lives in America, Europe, Australia, or South America, is called on to prepare himself to keep euro-american civilization itself from going on the rocks.

Since Young America belongs to the euro-american family, it ought to be his business to get to feel at home with the members Of his family, especially those in western Europe. If he can't understand these near kinsfolk who, taken all together, had the identical ancestors that he did until only a few score years ago, then it is nonsense to suppose that he will ever be able to understand the Hindus and Chinese and other peoples whose civilizations are markedly different from his own.
