30 DAY READING CHALLENGE

career. Usually, however, they have grown up cross-culturally in another way, perhaps as
children of immigrants, refugees, bi-racial or bi-cultural unions, international adoptees,
even children of minorities. If we see the TCK experience as a Petri dish of sorts - a
place where the effects of growing up among many cultural worlds accompanied by
a high degree of mobility have been studied - then we can look for what lessons may
also be relevant to helping us understand issues other cross-cultural kids (CCKs) may
also face. It is possible we may discover that we need to rethink our traditional ways of
defining diversity and identity. For some, as for TCKs, ‘culture’ may be something defined
by shared experience rather than shared nationality or ethnicity. In telling their stories and
developing new models for our changing world, many will be able to recognise and use
well the great gifts of a cross-cultural childhood and deal successfully with the challenges
for their personal, communal and corporate good.

There is a close connection between careers and the number of TCKs.

An increasing number of people describe themselves as TCKs.

Ruth Hill Useem studied children in several countries.

Ruth Hill Useem defined the third culture as a mixture of two parents’ original
cultures.
