How Understanding Third Culture Kids Can Connect a Divided World

By: Carissa Gobble

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Adult Third Culture Kids are rapidly increasing in number around the world. A people group hidden in plain sight around us, they are children of diplomats, military personnel, missionaries, and refugees. They can look like us, sound like us, act like us, but then also jump into a culture and country on the other side of the world where they may look like a foreigner but act and sound like a local. These people who grew up in multiple countries during their formative years are frequently misunderstood by their peers and family. However, they have a wealth of experiences and skills they've developed over the course of their childhood that help bridge a divided world. This book looks at their childhood struggles and blessings and also their adulthood as they navigate life with a multicultural soul in a world in love with black and white narratives. It provides insight and tools to better understand this unique, valuable, and ever-increasing people group called Third Culture Kids.

a personal view on tck

This is a tck book mainly based on a questionnaire the auther meens sent to people reasably in her own group. it is based from people who's passport are American and looks at politics and religion mainly from a Christian American point of view. (and she does use a Jewish pert hate phrase 'jewdio Christian culture ' to mean Christian and absolutely nothing Jewish).

That having said it was very interesting to be able to see her experience and be able to compair where this has overlap with tck from my background. the overlaps and diftrenses really helped me and gave me a starting point to explore the issue furth.

The voice sinc was surprisingly good.
