Notes
In today's episode, Mike is joined once again by his children, Johannah and Caleb Picconatto, as well as Dr. Stephen W. Jones, to delve deeper into the impacts of cultural transitions on kids. They explore the intricate dynamics of maintaining friendships across continents, particularly how online gaming and technology have revolutionized long-distance connections after moving away. Both Johannah and Caleb share personal anecdotes from their early days in Berlin, highlighting the emotional and physical challenges of moving and adjusting to a new cultural landscape.
Dr. Stephen W. Jones provides insightful reflections on his frequent relocations, including the unique perspectives and challenges faced as a Navy brat. The conversation also touches on the difficulties of fully identifying with either American or German culture, the feelings of being in between two worlds, and the impact of these experiences on their sense of political identity and social engagement. The discussions offer a compelling view into the emotional and psychological aspects of transitioning cultures, providing valuable insight for listeners who might be navigating similar experiences or simply interested in the complex psychology of global transitions.
