When one bothers to see the world from someone else's point of view, one gains insight and one gains knowledge. That's precisely why this article in the Christian Science Monitor about a program in which American farmers journey to Mexico to learn about the lives of their migrant farm workers.

"When you first come, you realize immediately why they left," says Mr. Laumb. "And then 10 minutes later you realize why they all want to come home."
