A Town Like Alice: Discussion
"Even though cultures differ, people are basically the same."
This is a statement that depends a lot on what you mean with basically. I think
people are pretty much the same all around the world but and they definitely
could end up being almost the same if they was raised in exactly the same way
and had the exact same possibilities in life.
If the basic characteristics are those you have when you're new-borned then I
think it's obvious that they are almost the same, some things are of course
genetic but I believe that the main part depends on your way of living.
It's not only the culture that matters but also the religion and the type of
country you live in. These two naturally affects culture a lot and the culture
affects them so there are no sharp limit between them.
An example from the book is the Australians, whose culture is rather close to
the English, but there are few Englishmen who would have liked the loneliness in
