Learning From One Another reading passage

Poytner describes an inspiring story of how the Ladakhi culture has deteriorized and has emerged because of globalization. He emphasizes that "we humans need cultural diversity as a storehouse of human resources, just as the Earth needs species diversity as a bank of genetic material we can draw on to meet new challenges." This quote really caught my eye because it's true. Globalization is all about cultural diversity and without it, no culture can form its own name without others to distinguish it. Other cultures give us "ways to live together in a world where religion, suburbanization, and social mobility are tearing us apart" and distinguish us for who we are. This was among my favorite reading for this week because I found it truly inspiring.
