         Kwame Anthony Appiah  is a  cosmopolitan  who has half British blood and half African blood. He grew up in a multicultural environment.He was raise in Ashanti Region, Ghana, and educated at Bryanston School and Clare College, Cambridge, where he earns a Ph.d in philosophy. Later his sisters married to different countries too. That make him  the idea of  cosmopolitan which he believes our earth is a village is and we should know how to respect each other and under stand each other . He also suggest us we need accept uniques.

        He said our world is getting closer and closer. On nowadays , our world is getting closer and closer. Back to 100 years, If I want to go to China, it will take at least 3 month. Now we have airplane, and we can  go anywhere in 24 hours which short the distance of our world. We also have a many fast ways to communicate. During 1900, the only way to communicate is letter. It take very long time. Some times the letter were not received,  so it was difficult to contact with anther continent. High Technology helps us to solve these problems. You can choose either e-mail , phone call or facebook. The informations are faster and safer. We also have our common window  internet , which we can share the same ideas from this window. With these high technology , we can make our world convenient  and it just like the village. 

       He suggest that since we get closer, we are more rely on each other. We need get along with each other, so we respect  and try to understand each other. When we are in home, we know how to get along with our brothers and sisters. It is the same when we  facing other country's people. We need more inclusive and acceptable. As you know, they have different culture background and their philosohpy. If you don't  accept the opinion of cosmopolitan, you will receive conflicts every day and your way will be more narrow.You will aslo found out multicultural are more powerful because they have more options and you can choose the best one. 

         He also believes we need accept unique. Different people have different ways to figure things out. There is no reason someone has to follow you; besides, you are not always right. Our society can improve because they are unique. Unique make our world charming instead of boring. Unique also make our world more challenge. Because of the challenge, our world become better. For example, why apple become outstanding, because it has competitors. If apple isn't unique and creative, it will be replaced by other brand very soon. We can also say without competitors, apple won't be as charming as now.

          In my opinion, I agree with Appiah. He was right we are living in a earth country. Though, we get along with other countries , we  have some problems. We have to learn how to respect and understand them. Only that way, we can understand the world better. Our way will be wider.
