| Abstract | Inasmuch as social deficiencies breed malcontent, it is not difficult to understand the resulting dissonance in physical, social, emotional, and relational well-being not only between individuals but also within and between communities and groups and between nations. The proverbial "haves" and "have-nots" continue to be opposing forces in society seeking to "acquire more" or to "give up less" in order to coexist with less vulnerability in a rapidly changing political world community. The issues of social intolerance are rooted in a perception of inequity and insufficiency, which invariably promote fear and inadequacy or a threat to one's sense of comfort and safety--real or unreal. At a time when helping professions such as home economics has given way to family and consumer sciences (FCS)--a less practical and more research driven academic discipline--families are challenged to find the right navigational tools to help them cross the social, emotional, and often physical chasms, and thus create for themselves a stable, predictable, more comfortable, and safer environment. This article draws on the issue of eliminating hunger. Using data from Latin America and the Caribbean, the article explores the issues of globalization, collaboration, and interdependence as important strategies for building bridges to development. The rhetorical questions embedded in the article are meant to stimulate reflection and examination of the reader's sense of what is possible from his or her own vantage point. (Contains 4 resources.)
