Common Ground

I have been raised in a family where there is an us and then a them.

During class on Thursday even though it was short I noticed that there really isn't a them and an us.  We all came from one place together and gradually became different so it is common for there to be some common ground amongst different cultures. There was an instant where I found something that linked everyone in the classroom. 

Changing from biological evolution to cultural evolution makes sense. In the beginning it didn't make sense but now I can see that everything is connected and the change experienced biologically has happened in a similar way to culture. 

I believe there was once one language and culture, but due to circumstances that humans could not have controlled there was a need to separate. This caused there to be two different cultures and the reason for the change of the culture was due to their natural environment. This would happen over and over again until eventually all the languages and cultures were suited for their environment. 

There goes my story
