Every single day, our world is continuing to get more and more divisive. Morals, views, and beliefs are being separated into different categories and political spectrums while people become more and more polarized and disputed. It has become increasingly harder for people to find common ground within their mutual sense of humanity and foster mutual empathy and respect. But yet, there is a way. Hongsovannara Yin proposes the thought-provoking basis and origins of individual perspectives, how they are shaped, influenced, and developed, as well as how individuals can utilize their knowledge to utilize their unique perspectives to their full extent, seeing things that those around them can't see in order to truly reach across the aisle. A rare commodity within our modern day and age. Hongsovannara Yin is a 14-year-old middle schooler who is passionate (sometimes a little bit too much!) about public speaking, foreign politics, debate, and adorable cats! Contrary to popular belief, his interests didn't start at an extremely young age but are instead attributed to a newfound perspective on the world.
