What's one aspect of your nation's way of life you'd like to preserve amidst globalization?

 @9JGF6WPfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

In discussions about nationalism and globalization, many people express a desire to preserve cultural diversity as an essential aspect of their nation's way of life. Cultural diversity encompasses traditions, languages, customs, and values that have been passed down through generations. Amidst globalization, where cultures often intermingle and influence each other, many individuals and communities feel it's crucial to safeguard and celebrate their unique cultural identities.

Preserving cultural diversity can contribute to a richer tapestry of human experiences, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation across different nations and societies. It is often seen as a means to maintain a sense of identity and connection to one's roots in the face of global homogenization.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
