Have Spaces and Exchanges Made the World a Smaller Place ?
Spaces and Exchanges
I’m wondering if Spaces and Exchanges have made the world smaller.
First, I’d like to talk about physical mobility.
By a survey, 77% of British people have already traveled abroad. Three factors influence their destination: the climate, their budget to go on holidays and the risks of attack. British people think that they need to go to a quiet place to have a rest. Many of them have already spent time in French seaside resorts. Indeed, proximity of both countries makes easier the entrance. French gastronomy and culture, good value for money and its temperate climate are attractive to British people.
Still in reference to travel, TV interviews, foreign newspapers, visitor’s guides allow people to have an exchange to remote countries.
Moreover, many programs exist. Because of this, youth can have a package holiday. For example, the Erasmus Project is a European Union student exchange programme established in 1987. Students who join the Erasmus Programme study or do an internship for a period of at least 3 months to an academic year in another European country. The Erasmus Programme guarantees that the period spent abroad is recognised by their university when they come back as long as they abide by terms previously agreed. A main part of the Programme is that students do not pay extra tuition fees to the university that they visit. Then there is many other ways to stay in another country for a long time like the European civic volunteer service. The purpose of these adventures is to improve a person’s way to talk, to discover cultural differences and maybe to get a job later.
At last, I will speak about the virtual mobility. I mean exchanges in the world thanks to new technologies.
On the one hand, everybody possesses a cell phone, which is daily used to get through a friend. A handsfree kit was invented to allow people to call somebody whatever they’re doing (for instance in the car).
On the other hand, the social networks’
