Tcks

Good afternoon everybody, thanks for receiving me, well many of you don't know why I'm here or what I'm going to tell you today or maybe some of you do, the topic to be spoken is about the third culture kids. This kids are the ones who have being moved and spend their developmental years outside the parent's culture and it's been said that they lose their identity to their culture, they've lose their sense of belonging to their parents home country, but I ask you, is this true? Do they lose all this? and is it good to be a Third culture kid?

I think TCKs have more things beyond their passport to connect them with home, because their parents were born and grew up in a home country so they could teach or show the culture to their kids and tell them where they come from. Maybe, if they were old enough to learn their mother tongue, they could have their language to identify them and connect them to their home country.

This kids gain and lose because they not only belong to one culture they belong to different cultures they can experience lots of thing others can't , learn from other cultures. They gain  a culture made from different cultures mixed into one, thanks to this TCKs have lots of knowledge and a special ability to compare international and local issues, they have a deep understanding of human rights.

This only thing this kids lose is that they do not belong to the same culture as they parents, they lose a little part of them.The thing is that TCKs in a way lose their way to identify them selfs as a person of a specific culture,but what they gain is absolutely amazing, yes is true they don't belong to a specific culture, but they belong to many others, they can identify with the language the tradition they learn from their home country or their parents country ,they understand the world in a way no one  else can but others have to,  they see a more tolerant and open minded world, also a world with endless possibilities that are opened because of their qualities. This kids, they are not just normal kids they are kids that are making a path for the rest of the world to follow, this kids are the future to a more united world a more tolerant world.

After all that's been said I would like to focus in one of the question, is it good to be a third culture kid? my answer is yes it is , this kids, they are the pillars to a different world they posses different qualities that will help them in their everyday, they have different cultures to identify to, they posses a richer culture also a very different way to see the world and is the way we all should do. Think about it and learn about this.thanks for your attention
