Now, you might be thinking, Mr. Beat, why isn’t culture or morals in your top 10 list?
Well, globalization and the internet have heavily mixed cultures these days. And if you look at the definition of culture (what we all do, say, believe, and think about based on interacting with others), it’s safe to say we are all now multicultural. And morals? Honey, most of our morals are the same no matter who we are, where we live, or where we’re from.
