The Silk Road played a major role in the development of classical cultures. The main purpose of the route was to provide a means for transporting goods--material objects--for sale. However, the most significant effect of the Silk Road was cultural. Civilizations who used the route for trade also brought back new ideas, beliefs, and customs. They used the money they earned while on the Silk Road to build legacies impressive enough that they still affect us today.

Does anything like the Silk Road exist today? If so, will it have the same impact on culture that we see with the Silk Road? On a sheet of scrap paper, make a list of things from life in the 21st century that might have an impact on us that is similar to the impact of the Silk Road on classical civilizations. Your list can consist of objects, locations, events, trends, or activities.

Once you have your list, ask your teacher how to participate in an online discussion for this course. Choose one item from your list, describe it in the online discussion, and explain your reasons for thinking of this item or event as a 21st century Silk Road. Then, read some of your classmates' answers and respond to their ideas.

The answer is Yes. There are many modern-day examples with similarities to the Silk Road, which have similar impacts on culture and commerce. One example worth describing is the Internet.

As mentioned in the question, the Silk roade was a vast network of trade routes used for transporting goods, but the impact of said route spans well beyond just commerce. The Silk route gave rise to new customs in many territories, influenced religious diversity, and led to the creation of economic empires.

Modern-day examples similar to the Silk route are:

The internet
Transnational Shipping routes
Even the common Shopping mall

All of these have functions and modern-day impacts similar to that of the Silk Route. Transnational shipping routes connect countries from across the globe for the exchange of goods, and transport people (the crews) which give rise to cultural, religious, and romantic interactions between people of various origins. A common shopping mall acts as a location for the exchange of goods and the interaction between diverse groups of people.

Perhaps the most notable example I've given is the Internet, and the one I would choose to describe for an online discussion. The internet connects

cultures
religions
ideas
customs

and even economies from across the globe on an unprecedented scale. It allows a person from anywhere in the world, to have access to information regarding any religion or idea. It gives rise to interactions between people from anywhere in the world through the use of social media platforms and is vital to maintain the global level of trade and economic growth we experience today. For these reasons, the Internet is a prime example of a 21st-century Silk Road and would be an excellent choice for your online discussion for your course.

To recap, there are many modern-day examples like the Silk Road, the most important being the Internet because it allows us to connect with people and places all over the world and impacts all aspects of the modern-day world.
