Question chosen:
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." Do you agree?
a. Stating how travelling enables one to physically experience what the world has to offer.
b. Does not depend on the act of travelling, but the mindset of the individual instead.
c. Travelling is now not necessary due to the presence of technology.

4 new ideas about the content
1.  Travelling affords a hands-on experience that can never be substituted by a long night in front of the goggle box munching on popcorn and watching travel shows in the comfort of one's own suburban abode, individuals still have the option of visiting sites and locations within one's own country, which may argue is replete with undiscovered gems waiting to be discovered by the keen-eyed individual.

2. Simply travelling within a country already affords the local traveller a wide array of cultural and historical knowledge that, when backed up by the global news coverage they already possess, constitutes sufficient breadth and depth for the average individual. This amalgamation of global news and understanding of one's own local and national identities constitutes the perfect combination, thereby nullifying any advantages travelling might provide.

3. Physically being in a different environment stimulates an individual in ways that remaining in one's hometown or country cannot possibly achieve -- Travelling undeniably allows us to go past "one page", and devour the literary masterpiece that is the world.
