Day 12. Wed. 10/11. Travel Wrap Up

In a silent discussion on the Pico Iyer reading, we answered these questions:

1) "Corruption is in the eye of the beholder" What does this mean in relationto travel? Do you agree?
2) How much can we truly learn about another culture? What are some ways that we can maximize this learning?
3) Movement is only as valuable as your commitment to stillness. Do you agree?
4) Why do we travel and how do we change through traveling?
5) There seems to be a double standard for most travelers in which they want the exotic and the familiar. Discuss this double standard.
6) How has traveling changed the course of history?
7) Our IHS mission statement reads: "As Global Citizens at Eugene International High School we aspire to value diversity, ambiguity, and discovery-and to act with responsibility, integrity, and compassion." How does this mission connect to travel? How can we do this here in our own community?
