The era of borders is over: today, many of us can realistically plan to (and do) choose the country where to live our best future.
But changing cultures is a whole different matter. We often hear that, for better or worse, your country of origin "marks you" for life. In customs, values, and even the very way you eat, you cannot disengage yourself from your birthplace. Can you really hope to do it?
However, what if you come to realize that there is something fundamentally wrong with your culture? What responsibilities (if any) do you have towards your country, and to what extent is it right to criticize it without doing anything to improve it?
Join this conversation with Leopold Ajami and Ricardo Pinto, both immigrants ambivalent about their countries of origin, as they engage with the topic of leaving your culture and the value of marrying rational conviction with a proper sense of cultural identity.
