Connecting the dots…

I’m in the middle of a ton of research on hospitality traditions. But it keeps veering off into international issues, which seem very closely aligned with the subject matter. Perhaps that’s why I became so interested in the subject to begin with. In any case, the political elements are not necessarily the ones I aim to focus on in this installment. So I wanted to save these for later use. Think of it as a save game point during a creative interrogative process:

  1. Diaspora
  2. Refugee
  3. Exile
  4. Homeland
  5. Ostracism
  6. Penal transport
  7. Collective punishment
  8. Right of asylum
  9. Government in exile
  10. Provisional government
  11. Micronation
  12. Immigration detention
  13. Stateless persons
  14. Unauthorized arrival
  15. Population transfer
  16. World War II evacuation and expulsion
  17. Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization
  18. United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories
  19. List of unrecognized countries
  20. Displaced person
  21. Displaced persons camp
  22. Environmental refugees
  23. Refugee camp
  24. Shanty town
  25. Hooverville
  26. Expatriate
  27. Separation anxiety

Applied to the modern situation, I feel like a return to traditional hospitality may soon be in order as grid points fail from natural or other disasters. There are going to be a lot (more) of people without a home someday soon, living on the road outside the protection of normal laws and customs. How they are treated will be an enormous determining factor for global society for the next 50 years.
