THIRD CULTURE KIDS In an increasingly interconnected world, the prevalence of international careers has led to a significant rise in the number of third culture kids (TCKs) children who spend a substantial part of their formative years immersed in a culture distinct from that of their parents. As the population of CKs expands, the cultural complexity and significance of their experiences are also growing. The term was first coined in the 1950s by sociologist Ruth Hill Useem. During her research on expatriates in India, she observed that families who relocated from their home country to a host nation formed a distinct lifestyle that did not align with either their native or host cultures. She called this the "third culture" and the children raised within this context "TCKs". At that time, most expatriate families had parents from the same culture and they often remained in one host culture while overseas. In contemporary society, the TCK phenomenon is even more multifaceted. Consider the example of Bn Royer, founder of TCKid.com. With a French-Vietnamese father and an Ethiopian mother, Brice resided in sever. different countries before turning eighteen, including France, Mayotte, and Egypt. His experiences, much like those of many TCKs, transcend the conventional notion of "home" and identity. (I) Despite such complexities, however, most ATCKs say their experience of growing up among different cultural worlds has given them many priceless gifts. (II) They have seen the world and often learnt several languages. (III) More importantly, through friendships that cross the usual racial, national or social barriers, they have also learned the very different ways people see life. (IV) Understanding the TCK experience is also important for other reasons. Many ACKs are now in positions of influence and power. Their capacity to often think 'outside the box' can offer new and creative thinking for doing business and living in our globalizing world. But that same thinking can create fear for those who see the world from a more conservative world view. Neither the non- ATCKs nor the ATCKs may recognise that there may be a cultural clash going on because, by common measures of diversity such as race or gender, they are alike. Many people relate to the TCK experience even if they never lived abroad due to a parent's job. This is because they grew up cross-culturally in other ways, such as being children of immigrants,
A. They tend to form friendships that cross established racial, national, and social boundaries. B. They usually feel a strong sense of belonging to their parents' home country. C. They are raised in a cultural environment distinct from their parents' native culture. D. They develop multicultural views due to their consistent exposure to multiple cultures. Question 13. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 6? A. The experiences of TCKs are completely different from those of immigrants and refugees. B. Nationality and ethnicity are the only factors that define cultural identity. C. Cross-cultural individuals struggle to integrate into society due to their diverse backgrounds. D. Cross-cultural experiences help redefine identity beyond nationality and ethnicity. Question 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Ruth Hill Useem's research involved studying children in several different countries. B. ATCKs' thinking is always welcomed and integrated into conventional work environments. C. The TCK experience is relevant only to individuals who have lived abroad. D. There is a close connection between international careers and the number of TCKs. Question 15. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. The presence of TCKs in leadership positions ensures that long-standing views on diversity will be replaced by more inclusive global perspectives. B. ATCKs find it easier to establish a sense of belonging in their parents' native country than in any other location. C. Modern TCKs often experience more complex cultural backgrounds than those studied by Ruth Hill Useem. D. The advantages of being a TCK always outweigh the challenges associated with cultural displacement. Question 16. Which of the following best summarises the passage? A. TCKs, who grow up in cultures different from their parents', gain valuable skills like multilingualism and cross-cultural understanding, making them influential figures in a globalized world despite facing potential cultural clashes.
