    The article under consideration, The Case for Contamination, focuses on three interconnected matters, cosmopolitism, cultural assimilation and globalization. Appiah interprets religions as the common ground that brings people together, however that may be. My approach is similar to his in that I too feel that cultural assimilation is not supposed be viewed through religion, but instead supposed to be broken down to the smallest form and viewed through each person that makes up said culture, religion, group, etc. Most notably in this analysis is Appiahs view of cultural assimilation in his own culture. He examines first his country of origin, Asante, Ghana.…
