I don't think any experience I have ever had can be definitively explained by science.

Is this because you don't believe subjective experience itself falls within the purview of scientific explanation?

As for redoing my childhood, definately no.  And if I could go back to 20 and redo everything with the knowledge I'd have now, I'd have to say maybe.  I'd certainly change a few things, starting with gong to an out of state college and finishing my degree.  And I sure as hell wouldn't have married my first husband.  However, I'm quite happy with Husband #2, so that part I wouldn't want to change.  Smiley

Today's question:

Would you change your nationality if you could?  If so, to what?

Hmm. Before I answer, just to clarify, do you mean moving to another country as an adult and officially changing your nationality... or do you mean entirely adopting the culture of another nation personally and making it your own? I know it seems like the same thing, but I know many people who have moved here from their native culture, and while they are Canadian on paper and like the country, culturally they still consider themselves part of whichever country's culture they came from. So I guess I'm trying to ask what you mean by nationality -- what does it involve? Smiley

Many consider Newfoundland its own nation (we have our own flag!) I feel like my culturally identity is the mostly tied to that place, and I don't think I'd want to change that. Globalization raises some interesting questions about the role of Nationalism, though. I'm not sure that it's as useful of a concept as it once was.

I would love to know what it is like to grow up in other countries.  I suspect that no matter where I ever go, I will always mostly see the world through American eyes.  I wish there was a way for me to truly know what it's like to be from a different culture.  I don't know if that answers the question, exactly.
