Are We Living in a Big World or a Small One?

Today’s class has finished, leaving so much things and happy memories in my mind. I am both glad and surprised to see that several classmates are also interested in my theme–Culture Shock.
Some shared opinions with me during the break.
It seems that we are living in a big world, because in our first course, when we googleearthed our hometowns on the Net, I felt we were too far away from each other, jumping from one corner of the earth to another. And actually we don’t have much in common: our looks, our language, our lifestyle, even our way of thinking…
However, by using the Internet and mobile phone, almost all my family and friends are within reach. And in the Latina class, we can sit back and chat on the same topic… And the world no long seems that big…

Thanks for your reflexion.
Your point about the world being big and small at the same time is exciting. Your examples – Google Earth, mobile phones and chatting in the class -make these ideas concrete.
I hope you will go further in that direction – with more specific examples and experiences – that helped you learn during the day. And there might be things that did not work – what about them?
Good luck!
