Advocating for Others from a Global Perspective
Intercultural empathy is the ability to perceive the world as it is perceived by a culture different from your own. For Ansa Edim, MBA '16, vice president and staff board chair at Change.org, a global mindset is just that. “A global mindset means having an understanding of a shared narrative around the world so that we have an understanding of the struggles of other people and empathy. At Change.org, we're dealing with people who don't typically have a voice and we are giving them space to have that voice. So that requires some empathy to their plight,” Edim says.
Changing Perceptions in the Global Economy
Perception is how we view, understand, and interpret the things around us. For international trade specialist, Ja’Nel Edens, a global mindset starts with changing your perception and thinking of yourself not just as a citizen of your nation, but as a global citizen. She states, “We must recognize that we are all interconnected in some way. We share similarities with other cultures outside of our own country and we are part of one big world, even though we are separated by waters.”
