At some point, maybe ten years ago, I realized that with the internet today it's sometimes incredibly easy to see and expose national biases...

One of the tricks I came up with back then: Look up any Wikipedia article on US involvement in Latin America. Change the language from English to Spanish. Same topic. Sometimes vastly different reality.

That is indeed one major, unsung positive of Wikipedia's multi-lingual system.

I do it regularly (across a couple of languages other than English) when reading about current events, cultural artifacts, political entities, and most of all history.

This makes multilingualism seems incredibly important (which I think it is)
