well, having no other choice i sat through the class presuming that id be listening to what the US people are all about - their hierarchy, their culture,values... and how we in India are not all of that.
Through the course of the day, as i grew to know her better, she seemed really nice, educated in very many cultures-really a third culture kid! i hit myself hard for having convinced myself that her accent was fake. i also did get to listen to all of the USA values thingy, but what surprised me was the way she made us realise how much our culture affected our thoughts and ideas and ...well jus everything !! -made me realise that we were really the most versatile country, adapting (and thats not imitating) so as to be a part of the global village- made me realise how different we really are, in a way that made me so proud...that was one day spent usefully. thanks sushma.
