I graduated from UNA in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications / Theatre and a minor in Geography. After my first Geography class, I fell in love with the world. I found myself wanting to soak up as many cultures as possible and the best way to do this was to TRAVEL! In 2011 I was able to study theatre in New York City. I lived there 3 months and met people from America, England, Paris, and New Zealand. Our friendships opened so many wonderful doors, one being my first trip out of the country. In 2012, I got the amazing opportunity to stay with a friend for two weeks in London. All of these experiences not only have made me a better actress, but a better human being. Follow me on my next adventure of learning and exploring this beautiful world, and remember: “Not all who wander are lost.”

Becky,This is a great article with many elcnlxeet points. As you and I have written a lot, despite the so called globalization in which we live, there is a long, long, way to go before we have true globalization if it ever happens.There are still far too many pre-conceptions, misunderstandings, ignorance and lack of will to truly learn about others cultures and business etiquette, especially here in the US. One has only to switch on TV or read some of the social and political blogs in the US to see how ignorant and biased many people here are about other countries and cultures, not to mention the move to make the US more insular as it was pre-WWII.In Asia and Europe, there is a growing resentment by some about the influence the US wields and that impacts people’s perception of the US in business and other areas.The irony with the US is that it is a potpourri of different cultures and ethnic backgrounds so one would expect a more tolerant, more understanding populace.Right now, most of my inquiries for help with global business expansion come from overseas companies who seem more ambitious to be part of the Global Village.
