Recently, the idea of homogeneous cultures have come into play; people are beginning to think that we are creating a global homogeneous culture. I agree to an extent, but there is definitely still a variety of cultures. With advancements of technology, communicating with people around the world has become easier; people from all over are now sharing their cultures with others. The communication has made it easier to see similarities in all the cultures, and has started to form a new, world wide, homogeneous culture. However, if you zoom-in and start to analyze values and beliefs, it becomes apparent that we don't have a homogeneous culture. Instead, we have a global community made up of multiple cultures. This is how I view Purdue’s community. Everyone is very open minded, and has many similarities. But each club, organization, Greek house, or co-op has is its own community forming its own culture. All the different cultures come together to make Purdue’s community, just as it does on the global scale.
