523 ：名無しさん＠そうだ選挙に行こう：
Supposing you and I had never been taught to read. Supposing that
we live to be a hundred years of age in an illiterate state, can you
imagine what our state of cultural development would be like? We
should be cut off from almost all those things which make an educated
modern man. We would, in short, be illiterate,and the hundred years
we had lived would have made very little,if any, to this state of
ours. Time is irrelevant. What is relevant to this matter is the history
of our cultural experience. As it is with individuals, so it is with peoples.
When human beings are brought up in an American environment they become Americans,
whether their parents were originally Italian,Irish,English,French,Japanese,Chinese,
or what not.
おねがい。
