How long is your diversity stick?

I attended a seminar today hosted by some employees from the World Bank. They talked about working in diverse cultures and the challenges they've faced. It was eye opening to me because I consider myself pretty open to diverse cultures. But it's one thing to accept people who come to your culture. It's another thing to go to someone's culture and navigate through your baggage and adopt all the culture behaviors.

I think that all of us would do well to spend a day or two in a different culture to find out how different, yet how similar we all are. We're all connected as human beings. The best phrase that I heard today was "human beings are human beings are human beings."
