quote:Originally posted by bezoarOK, OK, so we're ignorant, and isolated, but we have great food. And Chris, if you were living here as a doctor, you'd have a much better life, be making more money, be able to take off work whenever you wanted, and could pretty much have a job anywhere with a six figure income. And you could teach here too, and think of all the ignorant students who need you!!!!!!

I think every country and culture has it's good and bad points. If we can focus on the good in each, we all stand to learn and benefit.Recently in Canada I have observed Native Canadians making strides toward integrating their culture into general society (or vice versa), while maintaining and enhancing their culture and knowledge base. I applaud this magnanimous spirit, especially in light of the fact that over the last hundred years or so Natives have been terribly abused, denigrated and almost decimated. It's a fantastic healing to let go of an angry and painful past, do an about face, and move forward with optimism.
