Ease of   45   and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this   46  .

  The question “Who am I?” is frequently asked by TCKs. They have   47   a host of cultural identities, and have built relationships to all the cultures,   48   not having full ownership of any.

They represent many countries and cultures. They are the future cross-culturalists and   53   future politicians, diplomats, government employees and educators. club.xuecan.net

   They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and   54   lives. So, whatever one chooses to label the international students as ---TCKs, Global Nomads, or Global Souls ---we will gain unbelievable   55  .
