HOW ARE YOU CONNECTED WITH THE WORLD? Think of how are you connected with the other parts of the world.
The following questions could guide you in your thinking: (5pts. each)

1. Do you have any family, friends, or relatives living in other countries? How do you communicate with them? Have you been
to other countries (for leisure, work, or studies, among others)? What are your thoughts about this connection?
- Yes, I have family members that are living in other countries and I communicate with them using the internet and there
are certain apps that are developed for us to communicate with other people around the world. My thoughts about this
connection are I really like it because it lessens the work that we need to do for us to communicate with other people
around the world.

2. Do you feel connected with other countries in the globe? Why or why not?
- Yes, but not physically because with the use of the internet we can still connect to each other, we can talk and have a
video call with random people and make new friends.

3. What are the aspects in your life do you identify as connected with other citizens of the world?
- All I can say is my purpose is to communicate with them a try to make friends and some kind of bond to anyone who
needs it regardless their nationality, ethnicity and religion.

4. How do you feel about being connected or disconnected with other people in the world? Why?
- For me being connected to other people is like adding a new friend to your life but sometimes people that we meet
online are not interested so they usually just disconnect you from the call and for me they didn’t even give you the time
to make friends with you and it’s actually kind of sad that sometimes people that we meet in the internet are only
interested in some kind of people.
