Call getIntersectingObjects() from a subclass of World

getIntersectingObjects() is protected, so I can not call it from a subclass of World. I was reading the article below... https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/accesscontrol.html and would love some more context and to know if there is anyway around it.

I do not know what more can be said about accessibility. However, to get "around it", you could add a new method in the class of the actor to call the method and return its results: 
public <A> List<A> getIntersectors(Class<A> cls)
{
    return getIntersectingObjects(cls);
}
Then call this method from the world subclass.
