I've recently begun to notice certain trends in the publishing industry, particularly in regards to fiction aimed at young people. There seems to be this idea that people can't hold different opinions to each other, that we all have to agree on the same way of living and thinking.
Frankly, I feel that this is really damaging to young people and will stop them from being able to see the world through multiple perspectives, which is what literature was originally all about: sharing perspectives of others to help us to navigate our own lives better.
