Mob Mentality and Social Control
20/01/2024 Duración: 09min#mob #mobmentaility #socialcontrol The right to freely express opinions in democratic nations may unexpectedly become derailed and end up uniting those with related, and sometimes radical, views. Members of these groups may become evangelized and later begin propagating their beliefs or faith outside their sphere of influence. Being a member or part of a community or group can amplify or exaggerate an individual's optimistic and pessimistic sense of security and pride. Is it possible that the commonalities that hold groups together in democratic societies become influenced or abused remotely by nefarious institutions, foundations, and, unsurprisingly, governments?

Cognitive Dissonance in a Democracy
20/01/2024 Duración: 10min#cognitivedissonance #democracynow #beliefsandsciences Unfortunately, it takes some people an extremely long time to acknowledge that some of their beliefs, or ways of thinking, weren't carefully thought out or lacked objective reasoning.

Update: We Have to Move and Will
21/04/2019 Duración: 10minIt looks like the landlord pulled a fast one on us and now we, along with other companies and occupants on our floor, have to move and find new locations to engage with our customers and continue our businesses. Over these past few weeks we were put in situations where we had to think fast and prioritize the things we needed to do to keep our business alive. Anyway, we were able to find a silver lining through this fog and keep moving in a positive direction which will also give us the opportunity to further improve the quality of the content we currently produce and develop future projects. Starting in May, here are a number of changes to look for. New Studio: We are currently building a new studio specifically designed to allow us to expand and improve our current and future content. Youtube Channel: We will also engage more aggressively on YouTube. We will be producing both recorded and live YouTube streams and allow “call-ins” from our audience.

Perspectives 2: Sean Kaiteri - A Response to the Christchurch Shooting
17/03/2019 Duración: 17minAfter the terrible event that took part in Christchurch, New Zealand, I have been getting messages from people from different parts of North America asking me questions about how safe it is to live in certain nations, particularly Taiwan. These messages are from people who are citizens in North America and who are thinking about moving abroad to pursue their aspirations. A few, and I’m not surprised, have admitted that they are hoping to do so because they feel uncertain about their security in their own home nation. I found myself unable to articulate or formulate catch all phrases that would allow them to feel that living or at the very least traveling overseas can bring more of a positive experience. Of course, this can only happen if people allow themselves to integrate and accept parts of the culture they’ll be living in. To share and get some personal insight on what took place in Christchurch, I called up a friend from New Zealand who is living in Taiwan for an impromptu interview to get his insights o

To Gain Experience You Have to be Quite Bold
27/02/2019 Duración: 47minWhile engaged in this interview, I found myself having to mute my “American pride” because I soon discovered how important it is to listen carefully to a guest’s interpretation of their host nation because they may bring out logical view points and fair reasoning in ways never thought of. From the UK and now living in Hong, Kong, China, Jamie Cawley is a teacher and author of books that cover an extensive panorama of occurrences that lead to the building of several nation’s culture, wealth, governing and / or political systems. After many years working in Europe in the same job and traveling all over the world for over 25 years, Jamie, along with his wife, decided that they needed a change. They decided to embark on a new life journey with their young children and believe me they sure did! Let’s learn more about Jamie’s books while he shares his viewpoints on topics that relate to how nations interact with each other but with particular focus on China. Jamie is able to make comparisons and present his view po

Be Open to Meeting People - 4S1F96
13/02/2019 Duración: 33minIt can be challenging connecting with people located in different parts of the world and in different time zones, but to me and the fine people I’ve been lucky enough and, frankly, honored to speak with it’s more important that we share stories others can relate to. Giving a personal view into the lives of others who are seeing the world from a different “focal length” or mindset opens doors to better understandings of the differences as well as the commonalities we all share. Amy Brown is an American expat from Evanston, Illinois and she joined us this episode from Lima, Peru. Hear how Amy met and married a Peruvian military officer and how they are now raising their two wonderful children. Listen to why, for people who have started a family after living abroad for an extended amount of time, returning home may not be a simple choice. Amy brings up some very honest points as to why it would be very difficult for her to move her family to the States because to members of her family “home” has a very different

Just Be The Way You Want To Be Treated By Others - 4S1F95
06/02/2019 Duración: 29minThis episode we welcome, Charu Pathni, an Indian expat living and working for a major car manufacturer in Germany. Charu is a very focused and energetic lady who has not only persevered, but also surpassed traditional roles held for women from her home nation. Even though she hasn’t lived in every part of the world, Charu calls herself a world citizen because, in her words, “People are people and it doesn’t really matter where I come from or where my roots are from. Home is just where I can feel comfortable with the people around”. Because of her optimistic and positive approach to living in her host nation, Charu’s overseas experience has allowed her to learn that she is a lot more adaptable than she thinks.

The Hardest Thing is Taking The First Step - 4S1F94
30/01/2019 Duración: 31minIn many ways, traveling anywhere alone can not only help a person build a clearer or more in-depth understanding of oneself, but also the world around them from a perspective that wouldn’t have been obtainable while in ones home nation. So traveling abroad with a life-long partner can offer the same elements, but on a level that has twice the impact, exploration and memories. This episode we sit down for chat with two British expats now living in the land of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That’s right, I’m talking about the great White North, and polite Northern neighbor, Canada. Emma and Stewart are Londoners who join us to share their experience living and integrating in the Canadian workforce. Hear why they decided to head abroad before, in their words, “It’s too late”. Even though this wonderful couple is currently living in a host nation that has many of the same local habits, customs and utilizes the same language as their home nation. Hear how they describe the differences between their home and host nation
