Pondering the Question of Statehood

By Devin Gibbs '16

•

February 13, 2013

A couple of days ago, a friend asked me if Puerto Rico should have statehood or not, and for me the answer was quite simple. With the progression of our communications technology, the world has become a much smaller place, and I believe that sometime in the future, though maybe not the near future, Earth will be united as one country; it is for this reason that Puerto Rico should become a part of America. Past models have shown that as technology increased, human communities have grown larger.
