It's About Pride

                         I enjoyed Chapter 14 even though we had already read some of this chapter before namely the part about the soldiers.  Chapter 14 brings up some important points such as the way we view identity, society, and culture.  Our position in the world is crucial to the way we are brought up in how we decide in what ways we view identity, society, and culture.  It makes no sense to argue that our position does not affect how we think and what we believe.  We decide things based off facts we know.  We should try and learn and figure out as much as we can grasp about opposing views that may even affect our own views.  I am born and raised in the United States of America so naturally I think that certain traditions that take place in America are better than traditions form other places.  I think that culture that takes place here is better than where it is in foreign countries.  That does not necessarily mean I am ignorant because I could have looked up other countries culture’s and still have been able to form the same opinion than if I was completely ignorant.  Our position in the world makes  huge difference on how we view the world.
