A More Cultured Society.

In sociology this morning, we were discussing different cultures and the values, beliefs and norms that are associated with each one. At the end we began to talk about Ethnocentrism, Cultural Realitivism and other things dealing with cultural perspective. As our teacher was talking I was thinking of this project and the point I am trying to make about technology helping us to learn from others all over the world within minutes. In our class our teacher was telling us how our world is trying to get away from Ethnocentrism(thinking our culture is the best) and striving more for Cultural Realitivism(understanding different cultures in the context of different circumstances). Isnt that what the internet and technology in general is trying to help us do? If we are truly trying to be more understanding of different cultures, technology would be a good thing for everyone. It can give us the opportunity to learn and better understand so many different people. I just dont see how technology is hurting us when it can give our country the chance to become more a cultured society.
