Excerpt from The Bright Side of Humanity: Glimpses of Life in Every Land Showing the Distinctive Noble Traits of All Races
The widely varying character of the several chapters is due chiefly to the fact that I have contented myself with the available material Without calling in the aid of the imagination or a superfluous vocabulary. The material for such a volume is by no means as plentiful as might be supposed, and although I have had access to nearly all the literature on the subject.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of anecdotes about the positive qualities of people found in all corners of the globe. The author argues that cultures often misunderstood as primitive are, in fact, complex and highly moral. The author's goal is to challenge Western notions of cultural superiority by highlighting the virtues of non-Western cultures, such as the remarkable hospitality of Bedouins and Arabs and the kindness of Africans. The book suggests that morality is not a uniquely Western trait, but rather a universal human characteristic. By sharing stories of unexpected virtues in different cultures, the author challenges readers to broaden their understanding of what it means to be human and to cultivate a more compassionate and inclusive worldview.
