Positive and negatives of Reunification

There were many positives and negatives about reunification and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The people are still learning to adjust to the differences that it brought. A negative about the fall was that reunification went to fast and many East Germans were left behind. They missed some of the aspects of their old lives such as education that they wanted back. Each side was also proud of what they had achieved, and they wanted to show the other side what they could do. The different sides had very different way of lives that they had become used to.  Many people believe that the country is still divided, and many do not travel to the other side as much as we would believe. Some of the positives are that the cultures in Berlin cross and people get to meet and exchange different ideas and experiments. They got to get to know the different sides and learn how different side was different. The people are very different and many Germans say it is easy to identify who is from the east and who is from the west. Another positive is that the people actually can travel and go where they want without fear for their lives. Although both sides were comfortable with their way of life, it was not right for them to be separated by a wall. It will still take time for all of the Germans to adjust, but eventually all will be right and Germany will be truly reunited once again.
