Third Culture Kids

   As more cities and companies become increasing international, there is a growing number of children that are creating their own sub-culture. Often   36   to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads, these students have a(n)   37   impact on the global community.

They are   42   to new cultures and to other people in the community who   43   move constantly. Their numbers   44   into the hundreds of thousands and are increasing. Ease of   45   and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this   46  .

  The question “Who am I?” is frequently asked by TCKs. They have   47   a host of cultural identities, and have built relationships to all the cultures,   48   not having full ownership of any. Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK’s life experience, the sense of   49   is in relationship to others of a similar background.

But it is   51  , after spending only a short time with them, that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare   52   and local issues. They represent many countries and cultures. They are the future cross-culturalists and   53   future politicians, diplomats, government employees and educators. club.xuecan.net

   They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and   54   lives. So, whatever one chooses to label the international students as ---TCKs, Global Nomads, or Global Souls ---we will gain unbelievable   55  .
