Speaker
Dean Jackson presented as discussion on his endeavors as a Cultural Path Finder. He talked about the various opportunities he is having helping diverse groups bridge their cultural differences. He quoted Richard Brislin and Tomoko Yoshida who said "Culture consists of concepts, values, and assumptions about life that guide behavior and are widely shared by people... These are transmiteted generation to generation, rarely with explicit instructions, by parents and other respected elders". He talked about the need for bridging the gaps between different cultures so they can understand, appreciate and work with each other. Thanks Dean for your insiteful presentation.
