by Charlotte McPherson, Today's Zaman, Turkey - Often, people ask me if America has changed a lot during the time I have been away. Every culture is in a process of change. For many of you, summer is a time of movement. Perhaps you have been living in a new culture the past year or more and soon you’ll be returning to your home culture. William Hazlitt, in his “Notes of a Journey through France and Italy,” writes, “The first thing an Englishman does on going abroad is to find fault with what is French, because it is not English.” Often when individuals visit another culture, they can be quite critical. It’s surprising, though, how many people on their return home can be critical of their own culture.
