The World Is Becoming Smaller and smaller

In today’s age of fast travel, the world seems a smaller place---- and to some people, a less exciting place. Fifty years ago only a few English people and holidays abroad, People who didn’t travel thought of other countries as very far away and different. For example, people thought the French all eat garlic, the Italians all eat spaghetti. And the Swiss all use Swiss rolex watch or other swiss replica watches. These definite ideas of other nationalities are called stereotypes. But do we have the same stereotypes today? People travel more, we all watch the same TV programmers, and ideas travel quickly too. Nowadays everyone eats garlic and spaghetti and can buy a piece of rolex replica watch. Everyone listens to the same music. Wears the same fashions, buys the same cars. They just do it in a different language! So I say the world is becoming smaller and smaller.
