Professor
Doctor Achebe: With so many opportunities to connect nowadays, some people believe that no matter which country we come from, we have more similarities than we have differences. However, others have observed that differences between themselves and people from other countries are growing. In your view, are differences between people from different countries increasing, or are they diminishing? Why?
Student A
I think the differences among us are decreasing as our exposure to products from other countries grows. We can enjoy food from any country. We can watch movies made in faraway places. We can go to a store and buy authentic goods from around the world. These things become part of our normal life and make our differences seem smaller.
Student B
I understand what Andrew is saying, but for some people, being exposed to differences makes them retreat into their own corner even more. Look at social media. We are exposed to many different people and ideas, but a lot of people talk to only those they agree with and ignore the rest. This only makes the differences between people increase.

While there are still enormous differences between people from different parts of the world, I still contend that such differences are diminishing. The first reason for my stance lies in the development of social media. In today’s digital era, most people in various countries can share their feelings and ideas on media platform such as Facebook and IG. We have easy access to information from almost every corner on the earth, broadening our horizons at all times. We enjoy watching the same movie, listening to similar music, and discuss the same heated topic. Furthermore, the development in goods delivering helps diminish the differences. We are now surrounded by supermarkets where foods and drinks from all regions can be found. For example, I can not only find Chinese food in supermarkets in Shanghai, but also hamburgers, French fries and so on, which makes what I eat less different from that of foreigners. All in all, the differences among people from different background prove to be diminishing.

In the contemporary global landscape, it is evident that the differences between individuals from diverse countries are gradually diminishing. This phenomenon can be primarily attributed to the proliferation of social media and digital communication platforms, which have facilitated seamless interaction and exchange of ideas among people across the globe. Consequently, individuals are now exposed to a myriad of cultural experiences, such as watching international films, listening to eclectic music genres, and engaging in discussions on globally relevant topics.
Moreover, advancements in logistics and supply chain management have significantly contributed to the accessibility of products from various regions. Supermarkets worldwide now offer an extensive range of food items and goods originating from different countries, thereby fostering a sense of shared experiences among consumers. For instance, it is not uncommon to find Chinese cuisine alongside hamburgers and French fries in supermarkets located in Shanghai or any other cosmopolitan city. This amalgamation of cultural elements serves to bridge the gap between people from distinct backgrounds and further diminishes their differences. (170 words)
