Re: Australian Boat People Saga - lesson ideas

[Peter Genco <fairview@IU05TRC.IU5.ORG>]

Greetings,

I would like to thank Barbara for bringing up this topic in this forum.
She and others have shared some excellent ideas and it is now up to us, as
professionals, to determine how such ideas could best be used.

Individuals often lose sight of the global perspective.  News broadcasts
are extremely ethnocentric, regardless of country of broadcast.  We should
embrace the opportunity to learn from one another.
