Comment on Study Abroad Can Evoke Strong Emotions by John Mack

John Mack — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:02:12 +0000

My parents were Catholics from Ireland, but they felt a strong if limited sympathy for the Protestant Unionists. They certainly wished that Ireland had become a secular Republic, not a state that privileged the Catholic Church or any church. They both fought in the Irish War of Independence but they did not like what the Republic had become and could understand why the Unionists would not want to be part of it.

When my brother was in Europe in the fifties, he travelled from Scotland to Belfast before proceeding on to the Republic. On the ferry to Belfast he fell in with a group of Orange men. He sang them some traditional Irish tunes, and they taught him their Orange songs. Say what you want about the evils of drink, but the drinking helped them create a jolly cultural interchange. Throughout his life my brother was quite fond of singing those Orange songs. It was a shame that he could not carry a tune, but he had great fun nonetheless.

I studied in Brazil (all classes in Portuguese), at the University of Sao Paulo, in an exchange program through Stanford Univ. (N.B. it is NOT necessary to be a Stanford student to be accepted into the program).

I love this story! How nice that both priest and worried daughter were able to reach across the boundaries that all too often divide us (unnecessarily! ridiculously!) and find common ground when it was needed.

Thanks for pointing out that quote. It is one of my favorites (I just love the fishing analogy). A little later in the book I said that great search engine optimization is like fishing with the perfect bait on the right sized hooks and getting only the fish you want.

Good luck implementing the ideas.

This is great information to prepare students for studying abroad. As long as you can make the students feel safe and prepared, they should have a good time!
