People.World.Culture.


Globalization. It's something we don't think about often, but when we do, we do it from the economic and industrial point of view, ignoring the most important part of it: the human.
What composes a human being is way beyond its structure, way under their skin. Humans are formed by their surroundings: culture, country, socioeconomic level, parents, and something we call "soul". Each one of us turns out completely diferent, but with one thing in common: never understanding another persons thoughts or acts. We act unthoughtfuly, foolishly, in a way we don't even understand for ourselves.
Culture plays a huge roll among us. It draws our boundaries, and leads some of our thoughts. Like wether showing of our face is right or completely out of question. An interesting formation occurs when the culture you are leaded to is different from the country you live in. You end up with an irregular right-and-wrong scene, and that's when the soul kicks in. To help you choose what's best of both. I believe we all have a diferent education and surroundings, but deep within we can, if we block out stereotypes, block out what other people say, and really listen to oneself without falling out of society. Tho you are ether breaking the rules on one culture or the other. Globalization has made us nuts, but has also made us discover a little of ourselves, and develop in the culture we best fit in, even if its not our own, mixing up what we like and creating something unique. It has created new personalities, new ways of thinking, and open minds word wide. The only problem is how strong will the cultures remain.
