When I read this essay I really agreed with what he had to say. I think that Iyer was exactly right in pretty much all aspects of what he had to say. I feel that he is right, the world really is changing into America in a lot of ways and America is changing into the rest of the world. When I think about it, it is amazing how things have changed over the years. Today, you see Chinese restaurants almost everywhere, and there is even A fast food Mexican place where you can get tacos. It is amazing how much America has adapted into other countries when you think about it. America really isn’t just the American people and the American way anymore.
Today, in America it is not uncommon to see people of different races when you go out. Years ago it was uncommon to see different ethnicities, and now it would be uncommon not to see different ethnicities. The entire way of American life is adapting to the different cultures being brought in to America. Although many people are coming to American from different countries, not everybody can. That is why other countries are adapting and becoming more like America. Many countries today are using aspects of American culture in there everyday lives now. America isn’t the only country though all countries are using things from other countries in one way or another.
