Wouldn't you agree that even going to a Presbyterian college exposed you to more diverse ideas than you would have been exposed to if you worked in the factory in your home town?
The author's premise is that individuals are somehow less exposed to ideas/cultures/experiences than the typical individual was 10, 20, 30, 40 etc years ago. I'm can think of many reasons why this might not be the case without doing the research.
I don't know the answers to those questions b/c I wasn't alive 40 years ago. I don't know how my experience would be different had I worked in a factory. It would be dishonest to say I knew.
Sure, there are reasons to think why it might not be the case. And many to think why it is true.
