Last Friday, on Holocaust Memorial Day, Trump made the decision to suspend travel from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days, to suspend all refugee admissions for 120 days, and to deny admission to Syrian refugees indefinitely. This dramatic move, coupled with the bad taste that Brexit left in everyone's mouths, makes it seem like the world is forgetting the lessons of history and inching dangerously closer to a global mentality of Us vs. Them.
Which is why commercials like this one by Danish television station TV 2 are so important. Named "All That We Share," the viral video gathers together people who seem to have nothing in common and puts them into separate boxes. Then a moderator asks questions like, "Who was the class clown?" "Who are stepparents?" "Who has been madly in love?" "Who has felt lonely?" and people step out of their boxes and come together. Because once you start to ask questions, you realize we're all a lot more alike than we seem.
