Document Summary
Without the connection and the culture there is no tie to the world. The world is seeing a significant shift in the way that cultures interact. What used to be is changing really fast. Back in the day, we would be able to look out the window and everyone we would see would be of the same cultural background. Nowadays, everyone we see has a different cultural background. 1 in every 100 person is a different background. Language gives us the chance to communicate and let us think about the world in a different way. When we call something a particular thing (man, woman, boy, girl, etc. ), we are doing something to their existence. If someone is not apart of our family (uncle, aunt, great uncle, great aunt, etc. ), they seem to not matter to us because we do not have a deep connection/relationship with them.
