Do you think people all over the world are basically the same or basically very different?

Well, as far as I am concerned, though we have numerous culture shocks, we, the people all over the world are basically the same. The followings are my opinions.


First of all, I am going to talk about the word “basically”. “Basically” means “fundamentally”. Yes, under the same inner characters of being kind-hearted, we people should be basically the same. That is to say, though we may behave in unlike ways, we may eat in various dishes or we may speak the different languages or dialects, our characters as human beings are the same which has been eternal for thousands of years since we were emerge on the planet.


Secondly, I think the everlasting sources that have driven us human being are very simple which are exactly the same no matter where you are from or no matter which culture you were raised up. Here they are: the need to get ourselves covered, the demand of eating one’s fill, the desire of pursuing a better living condition. I think the mentioned needs are something that can represent the inner voices of a majority or the 99% of our desires. The only seemingly differences we have are just like the different clothes. We try to pursue our desires and dreams through various means. So, that’s easy to understand that we human beings are born the same.


To sum up, I always hold the idea that cultures are something that we have created on our path to fulfill our same desires. Our goals and destinations are the same, the only difference is that we can use various methods to achieves our desires.
