Read the attached article and respond to the content:

Does America need a "bridge of friendship" with Canada and Mexico? Why is one border apparently more problematical than the other?

What commonalities do we share with the inhabitants on the other side? What kind of ceremony could be created to affirm our commonalities?

Do we need a "bridge of friendship" with any other cultures, whose borders do not physically touch our own? Who would they be, what do we have in common with them, and what notable differences should we acknowledge and even celebrate?

What do we stand to gain from them? What do they stand to gain from us?

What do we learn from this commercial?
