Fuentes highly encourages us to use language to create cultures. By telling stories and describing them, people who have never been to the other countries could get a sense of other cultures. I agree with Fuentes in a seine that it is important to share different cultures. Not many people travel all around the world and experience different cultures. Even if people travel, it is very easy for them to not get the unique cultural experiences since English is the international language. People do not seem to have to know the other language to communicate or travel. Everywhere we go, there are people who can speak English, which makes everything a lot nicer for us. However when we are trying to get to know the other culture the language can be a barrier. For example, there are things that I could not explain to my American friends about some of the Korean expressions unless they have been in Korea or know the culture and history of Korea. I think it is important for people to go out explore the world as much as they can.
