We often hear others say that everything is connected on earth. Which is true to some extent. If we trace back our ancestry to the first people on earth, we will come to the conclusion that all of us had the same origin. Cultures started the same way. People practiced certain customs, but those who didn’t agree with that particular set of customs decided to create their separate cultures.
A capital city enjoys a unique position and people born there often feel happy to belong to a place in their country which is known nationwide. From countries to state, capitals can be found everywhere. Some countries even have more than one capital. In such places, the constitution recognizes the status of only one city while the other cities house the seat of one branch of the government. But majority of countries have only one capital because it is easier to keep all offices in one place.
It is difficult for people to imagine a world different than theirs. The people living in the first world countries cannot even imagine living without electricity for a day, let alone a few hours. However, there are many places in underdeveloped countries where electricity still hasn’t been introduced. Even in regions where electricity is available, its load shedding is quite common. The local population don’t think much of it but when the same conditions are presented to someone from Europe or the US, they will not be able to endure such circumstances.
There are different types of handwriting in the world. Some are praised for the way they make the words appear on paper, while others get mocked for their ineligible handwriting. There are also a few handwriting trends that people of a certain profession follow. No one can understand the handwriting of a doctor except the chemist. Or at least that’s what people think but there are many doctors out there who write full instructions for their patients that have nothing to do with chemists.
There are a few people in this world who do their signature once and their fingers remember the motion for the rest of their lives. They can do their signature the same way each time they pick up their pen and write a cheque. But there are some unfortunate souls in this world who have to intentionally try to do it right each time they are doing their signature on a piece of paper. When they don’t try, their cheques get bounced for not having the original signature.
Everyone dreams of studying at one of the Ivy League schools but not everyone can afford to live and study in the US. Also, there are a lot of good options available in other parts of the world for those who are interested. When it comes to Europe, the cost of education is a lot less than that of America. For the people of the continent, education is free for the most part in every country.
If you talk to any conspiracy theorist, you will know they are prepared to fight Artificial Intelligence. They will tell you how it is inevitable that AI will take over the world one day. There are also plenty of films and TV shows made about AI. They all tell us the same thing: we should be scared of the machines. But if you really think about it, humans create machines, we give them the power they have today.
No matter how much we love the internet, we can never deny its dangers. It offers us so much but it also puts at risk every second we are connected to it. The news about national agencies spying on people and data firms selling our information to the highest bidder used to be surprising a few years ago. Now, everyone knows that none of our information is safe.
There are thousands of sayings that explains the benefits of reading but those who love books know that nothing can ever describe the wonders of reading in words. There is a reason that unlike a lot of other things, books haven’t gone out of fashion. Sure, the internet has given people better ways to read than picking up a physical book, there are still many lovers of words that prefer the feel of an actual book in their hands than a Kindle. Every reader loves a different type of stories.
Every country in Europe has its own culture. Their languages and traditions are different from each other. Even their gestures aren’t the same and something that may be considered offensive in one of them may be a normal thing in another.
Success never came easily. In the past, businesses may not have had evil corporations to defeat but they limited resources for advertisement among other problems. Today, advertising has become so easy all thanks to social media. But success hasn’t become easier just because we have more resources now. People have great opportunities to start something.
No matter how hard we deny it, truth is, we are all looking for a connection with our fellow human beings. We want to build relationships that can last a lifetime. And we are always trying to understand people in the hopes that some day they will understand us too and we won’t have to try so hard to explain the things we feel.
