World Citizen Storycast

In the clash of diverse languages, traditions and cultures, we may find that we learn to understand each other better. But what about when the clash involves extreme differences of wealth and poverty? Natalie moved to America from Germany, where she encountered unexpected cultural challenges, but none greater, perhaps, than those she had experienced as a tour guide in Africa. In this episode, she shares her experiences leading tours in Africa as well as being a German living in America. Marcia and Lisle discuss Natalie’s culture clash stories, including the impact of poverty and begging on white tourists in Africa, compare them to their own experiences, and consider the meaning of economic security, poverty and homelessness.
