I am a sophomore and a (Communications) Public Relations and Marketing major. I currently work for Media Services at Simmons. I'm really looking forward to exploring a whole new culture, and celebrating my twentieth birthday while abroad (January 12th.) I think meeting women leaders who come from a background so different from my own will be an inspiring and eye opening experience.
One thing I found very interesting from the reading was that Indians, at least those of the upper class, greet a new person in English. They then figure out if they have another language in common, such as Hindi. If they do, they'll proceed in that language, if not, they continue in English. This speaks very strongly of the Indians mosaic of culture, because although two people in this situation already know they share a language, they would rather proceed in their own languages, thus keeping their unique culture intact.
