#blacklivesmatter #blm #culturalrevolution It seems like history always finds a way to repeat itself. However, the way it is repeating itself in America could lead to uncontrollable circumstances that could easily or eventually lead to its demise. America

China sought to use the name of its legendary philosopher to project the image of honesty and morality. However, let' take a look at how education has been used by the Chinese Communist Party as a dividing line to separate and control the thinking of freethinking societies.

Recently, I've been taking deep dives into how certain events in the world are being reflected here on-line along with how some foreign nationals observe the events they see taking place around them in their host nation.

Let's take a look at how and why some foreign nationals adopt, and in some cases promote, the ideologies of their host nation that later trigger negative opinions and cause personal losses.

It 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.

Taiwan Focused Programming: We have also developed a Taiwan focused YouTube and Facebook program that will be live streamed and deal specifically with issues foreign nationals face while residing in Taiwan. The life streams will be co-hosted with another fellow long-term foreign national living in Taipei and also allow vetted "call-ins" via tools like Skype, Zoom or Facebook.

Recalibrate Format: More importantly, we have decided to recalibrate the content we produce to put a laser focus on issues that create irregularities between not only nations, but also the way people of the world perceive and decode events that affect us locally and globally.

These changes will take place immediately and we are looking forward to receiving your comments and ideas on the issues you would like us to investigate.

After 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 on the event that took place in his home nation. This friend was gracious enough to talk to me without hesitation via his cell phone and I thank him very much for taking the time out of his day to chat with me.

I maintain resolute in my determination to prove that people have a lot more in common than they think.

While 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 points in a calm way that shows there are many interpretations of an overseas experience that are logical and may not sound flattering to some ears.

In this case, Jamie offers his anecdotal insight on the current relationship between the West in general as it pertains to China in particular.

Hear his reasons why certain individuals, particularly in the West, often point out or stress that their nation's internal problems were created by others rather than themselves.

This episode offers a pathway into explaining why events that are currently taking place between the US and China may not be all that coincidental.

Also, listen to why Jamie feels that being patient is the key to understanding and making it through an overseas experience.

It 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 meaning.

This episode was recorded at the end of 2018. However, because of connection issues, much of the interview became distorted or scrambled beyond repair so I had to do a deep dive into repairing and salvaging this recording so that I could bring to you this wonderful discussion I had with Amy.

This 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.

In 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 while, at the same time, adjusting to terms used in their normal communications.
