I am proud of myself for getting this blog set up and
actually figuring out how to get in and post.
I am so technically inept!
It has probably been at least 40 years since I took a
geography course. In those days it was a
matter of getting through the class and moving on to something that was of
interest to me. Now, I have a much
better appreciation of world and cultural studies – the studies I found boring
and useless in my teens are now fascinating to me. Being a “non-traditional age” student gives
me a better appreciation for general education. Don’t misunderstand, I still want to get
through the classes and finish my degree.
Now I take the time to really enjoy the courses that open my mind and
expand my horizons.
I look forward to exploring the objectives in this
class. With the busy lives we lead and
the crazy schedules most of us keep, it is easy to be insulated and naïve about
other cultures and religions. It is
sometimes hard to remember that we live in an era of global markets. Companies must learn to value, respect, and
embrace all employees and their cultural differences.
