One in the Same      

---

    My conlusion is that this world is a smaller place than we really know it to be.  With the power of the Internet, our world becomes only a wire and we can connect with people from different lands within seconds of getting onto a computer.  A smaller world lets us take a deeper look into what other cultures are like and what similarities and differences we have.  I truly beleive that most of the inhabitants of this planet Earth we call home are more alike than different, just trying to make it everyday and to be happy.
    Everything that I leaerned in the *MU sessions was enlightening and truly taught me about myself and about persons an ocean's length away.  What I learned is that there are many stereotpes of America and Americans that I happen to agree with.  I also learned that we Americans and Swedes are not all that different when it comes to what we want out of life.  After retrospect on the forums, it was obvious that we all wanted the same thing, although it may not have seemed clear at the time.  Happiness, and not a Volvo or million dollar estate in California, is the ideal dream and goal.  And it certainly an attainable one at that.
    We are one people of this world and we certainly do have our differences.  But this world has become a smaller place in my lifetime and it will become increasingly smaller still.  We're more alike than different, and although that may be going against what this entire assignment was meant for, I am proud to say that as a human being.
