Professor, Always a pleasure talking to you first thing in the morning(Bogota time). Today you explained your thoughts on how technology will impact the world. I agree with your opinions on how technology is and will uplift and empower more of the masses especially in developing economies. But we also looked at the flattening effect which is exerting a lot of pressure on the middle class in developed economies. I recommended the book, "The world is flat" by Thomas Friedman, old book but very interesting and relevant. Looking forward to talking to you soon. Michael

Professor, Excellent lesson as usual. You were able to explain the complexities of the Latin American countries especially the internal dynamics of Colombia. We also looked at how American culture and soft power are permeating all aspects of global societies. And the spread of the capitalist philosophy that money/materialism equates to personal success and happiness. We also looked at the internal dynamics of Canada, the relationship between Anglo and Francophone Canada especially regarding cultural and language pressure on the Quebecois to assimilate into the greater North American Anglo orbit. Good work as always professor, really good line of questioning. Looking forward to our next lesson. Michael

Professor, Always a pleasure, We discussed some of the social issues affecting the global youth. We discussed the challenges facing the millennial generation especially in the digitally connected edge. Excellent insight on how SNS is making the younger generation pure consumers of inconsequential content and not motivated to become active producers and contributors to modern society. Talk to you soon

Professor, Outstanding work!! You took the lead of the lesson and you were able to explain the socio-economic and political history and condition of Latin America. Please review the vocabulary we learned today and we can review and try to use some new words in future lessons. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
