Is the world becoming small minded, why??

Small-mindedness is a cluster of attitudes and behaviors that limit understanding, empathy, and constructive interaction. These traits appear across cultures and contexts; individuals may show some but not all. Common indicators:

Cognitive rigidity

Strong preference for certainty and fixed beliefs; difficulty revising opinions when presented with evidence.
Black-and-white thinking: issues framed as absolute rights/wrongs rather than nuanced trade-offs.
