UN(ity) in diversity

Yesterday I came across an interesting article on surveys conducted by the UN. Here's an extract from that article; hope you'l enjoy reading it.

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" was the question asked by the UN in one of its worldwide surveys.
The Africans did not know what "food" was and
the Asians did not know what "honest" meant.
In Europe they did not know what "shortage" meant.
The Middle East did not know what "solution" meant and
in South America they did not know what "please" meant.
And in North America they did not know what "the rest of the world" meant!
The survey was thus able to unmask the original character of the people worldwide.
