Abstract

Whether in the United States, India, China, or in Poland, today’s students in the developed and emerging world construct their identities in a globally interconnected world. It is a world that is increasingly flat (Friedman, 2005), rife with more opportunity than the one inherited by previous generations, but also with more anxiety – a “generalized or unspecified sense of disequilibrium” (Turner, 1988, p. 61, cited by Gudykunst and Nishida, 2001, p. 59).
