Cultural Ooops! Monday, April 11 So we keep hearing that we're a "global society." But just because there's a Starbucks on every corner of the world, it doesn't mean there aren't still some bill gaps in cultural understanding. We'll talk to international businesspeople, diplomats, and bilingual Americans who have learned how to negotiate across cultures...but can also tell of laughable faux-pas and huge business deals gone sour, over mere misunderstanding. Share your stories about the cultural "oops."
Teaching Kids About Money Tuesday, April 12 A recent study finds that today's parents are "incredibly lenient" about handling their children's extra money. That kids are learning more about immediate gratification than budgeting or financial discipline. Today we tackle financial literacy for kids. What works and what doesn't? Join the conversation.
Immigrant Day Wednesday, April 13 For the 14th Annual Immigrant Day, we'll highlight some of the heroic, inspiring and heartbreaking stories of immigrants in Connecticut and around the country. David Trust, a Rwandan Genocide Survivor, immigrated to Connecticut after losing both parents and two sisters in the genocide in 1994. He has since started a foundation that assists orphaned children and enrolled in SCSU where he's currently a junior. And Ruth Leitman, the director the new documentary, Tony & Janina's American Wedding, will tell the story a family divided by American immigration policy. And we'll hear from local reporters about the thriving yet often embattled immigrant community in New Haven.
Ned Lamont Turns the Tables Thursday, April 14 Since 2006, businessman and CCSU professor Ned Lamont has been in the political spotlight. As an upstart challenger to Senator Joe Lieberman, he rallied an online base of support that allowed him to beat Lieberman in the Democratic primary, and barely lose that seat to the Senator in November. In 2010, he ran a tight race for the Democratic nomination for governor. All along the way, he had to face tough questions from the capitol press corps, local and national talk show hosts, bloggers and thousands of others. Now, he's asking the questions of some of the political journalists who've been grilling him for years. For the hour, Dankosky turns the microphone of his talk show Where We Live over to Lamont, as he gives the media a taste of its own medicine. This panel was recorded during a day-long symposium at CCSU.
How We Age (rebroadcast) Friday, April 15 Advanced science and technology is helping to keep people alive longer than ever, but our emotional and mental ability to cope with aging are as regressed as ever. Dr. Marc Agronin is a geriatric psychiatrist and author of the new book, How We Age: A Doctor's Journey Into the Heart of Growing Old. He says that with baby boomers speeding towards old age, it's time to take a closer look at how to deal with aging. There may not be a cure, but we sure can find a better way to cope as more of us reach into our 80s and beyond. Today he shares stories of patients he's worked with and explains how we can come to understand aging not as an inevitable decline, but a period of vitality, wisdom, fulfillment and hope.
