Broad-minded approach for managing globalization

IN this era of globalization, broad-mindedness is key. Understanding, accepting, and tolerating all cultures, nationalities, histories, and religions is crucial, especially in a world where all businesses greatly value global citizens and require extensive multicultural awareness.

At YCIS,I feel that we, as students, develop not only acceptance for diversity, but we embrace it. My class alone is a combination of people from just about every single continent. Back in my hometown people are always astounded when I tell them that I have best friends from India, France, Canada, and Argentina.

It doesn’t end there, people are amazed when they learn I can speak three languages fluently, some of which I didn’t know a word of when I was first welcomed at YCIS.

Every day we become more conscious and mindful of our surroundings while maintaining our individual identities, and that is the foundation of the respectful, liberal, diplomatic, and charitable students of tomorrow.

However, we as students aren’t born with all of the essential qualities needed for managing globalization — our teachers are our guides.
