What stuck with me after our discussion in class was Ilja's worry that diversity in this world disappearing. The way I can make a general border for diversity is by using different countries. Though I understand that some countries are more similar and some countries are more diverse than each other, for arguments sake, I want to talk about people from different countries. Ilja, I think, talked about the world economy becoming more homogenized which increases the interaction between nations, which in turn creates a more homogenized culture.

I don't think that I can imagine the whole world turning into one culture, but what struck me was that this could possibly happen on a smaller scale. What I mean by this is coming from personal experience. When I lived in Turkey I had a completely different mind-set about life experiences. After I moved to the US this opinion of experiences, the way I experienced life, changed. The reason I know this is because I realized that now I almost have 2 different brains that I can switch on and off with will. If someone asked me a controversial opinion question my answer would depend on whether I am thinking about it as a Turkish person, or whether I'm thinking about it as an American.
