Babel

What is "The Tower of Babel" in the book of Genesis in the bible there is the story about the Tower of Babel. It is not necessary to tell you the entire story. Lets focus at the end of the story. God as a punishment confused their languages and scattered all man all across the glove (a.k.a Earth). This means that even though we don't speak each other’s language we are linked (kind of).

There's a very good movie related to this, it is called Babel. Some of you may have already watched it. For those that haven't watched it I will not ruin it for you. Try not to ruin it for you.

In class we saw how there is interconnectedness in the world. Sometimes we have trouble analyzing these situations because we tend to say if they are interconnected they make decisions for the rest and things like this. But if we see Babel as a resource in global interconnectedness we can comprehend a little bit more. How even though cultures are different and countries are thousands of miles away, one can alter the other one without a direct contact.

If you want to comprehend my approach to the movie watch it and feel free to ask. Also I highly recommend it. It is a cool very good movie.
