　　Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about how similarpeople really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and languages in those moviesare different from mine, people all around the world are alike in their goals and emotions.

　　One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their children with theirhomework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina.It showed school children playing hide and seek, which is a game I used to play with my friendsduring recess. Seeing these films demonstrated to me that education is a common goal inevery country. Parents want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed methat children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the games aresimilar to ours and sometimes they’re different. Still, they all have the common purpose of funand learning to work together.

　　Earning a living is another common goal. I’ve often seen that in movies about other countries.In some countries, people choose their careers from what they like and are good at. In othercountries, careers are chosen for them following the traditions of their families. But in everycountry it seems that people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard isrespected.

　　Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any movies, no matter whatcountry it comes from. People everywhere want to be entertained, and want to spend time withtheir families and friends. Different cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all culturesenjoy some form of sports, music and dancing.

　　The movies I’ve seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural differences betweencountries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals.
