In-Depth Information
Okay, Let's Travel…
You can travel with your window rolled up…or your window rolled down.
Now it's time for us to pack up these concepts and hit the road. Through the rest of this
topic, I'll share specific examples of “Travel as a Political Act”:
In the former Yugoslavia—Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Montenegro—we'll
wander through the psychological and physical wreckage left in the aftermath of a tragic
war…and ponder the sobering lessons.
Considering the European Union, we'll see how a great society (living in a parallel
world to ours) is evolving. The EU is melding together a vast free-trade zone while trying
to keep alive the cultural equivalent of the family farm: its ethnic diversity.
Traveling to El Salvador, we'll learn about the impact of globalization and the reality
of a poor country at the mercy of a rich country—from its own perspective rather than
ours.
In Denmark, by delving into contemporary socialism and a hippie attempt at creating
a utopia in a society routinely rated the most content in the world, we'll have a stimulating
chance to consider a different formula for societal success.
