During the lecture last night the most impactful thing that I realized is how perspective shapes what day event occurs. December 7th 1941 is a day that Americans remember the Pearl Harbor attacks, but in Japan it was December 8th. I have talked about this with 3 people since last night and continues to be on my mind since last night. It's made me contemplate what else I have never considered because of where I reside on the globe and the culture that I am part of. Wondered if others in our seminar have had similar "ah-ha" moments in the 5 sessions we've had so far?
