            In “Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World,” Scott Russell develops his opinion about moving. Personally, I believe moving is a very important thing to do. Without people who want to travel to new places, there would be very little progress or discovery of many different things.

            Imagine a world where no one wanted to explore. We would not know the existence of other races (“what’s an Asian?”), many different kinds of foods would not be shared ( “what’s pizza?”), the United States of America would not even exist ( “what’s America?”), people would be staying in their own little bubbles for all of their life, etc. What kind of a world would that be?

            The thought of the absence of all these things is scary, but at the same time I think it is impossible for movement not to happen. There will always be that one person that wants to explore the dangers of the unknown or that one unfortunate person that accidently stumbles upon a forbidden place. No matter what the situation, movement is inevitable.
