Common Threads

The opportunity to work with folks from so many different cultural backgrounds is priceless. A thread of humanity transcends all cultures. It is truly a joy getting to know people from other places and learning about the traditions that shape their lives and belief systems. I have observed that the family unit has a tighter bond than what is typical in the USA. Respect for elders seems to be more pronounced as well. There are many causes for this erosion of values in the USA - books can and have been written on this topic. I just wanted to point out the value that I see in stepping out of our box of traditions and embracing diversity.
