“No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.” - Mahatma Ghandi
"Editorial Page Editor: Our culture is a blend of others' ways" by Mark Trahant

This article is about what culture is in America. He shows that the American way didn't begin out of nowhere, it was born from a blend of all of the different cultures that moved here in the beginning and made America what it is today. He shows that we borrow pieces of culture from all around the world. "Even our language borrows freely -- and that is why English has become a global tongue."
I am most fascinated with and love exploring the blending of cultures here in America. I think that the blending of cultures is what our country was built upon, and exploring those blends is exciting.
