Not So Different
Just returned from our Asian adventure and over the next
weeks I will share my textile experiences with you. Today, though, I want to share an observation that many travelers
witness. As large as is our world, that
is also how small it is. As different
as various cultures are, the similarities are more numerous than the
differences.
Due to social media, ideas, trends, and new products are
immediately available all over the world, no matter how remote the location of
the user. This has led to a
globalization of culture. The official
uniform of young people is jeans and sneakers.
Their accessories are backpacks and cell phones. The allure of high end retail shopping has led
to The United Colors of Benneton and other trendy shops appearing next to
neighborhood markets, fast food such as KFC and McDonalds adjoin ethnic street
vendors.
