Can we talk about this? These diagrams come from pages 44 and 45 of Third Culture Kids - Growing Up Among Worlds 3rd edition. I'm obviously not going to retype the entirety of this chapter, but I wanted to ask what your initial thoughts are, just looking at the diagrams, without any further reading and with your own current knowledge.
... that the Third Culture Kid book that helps define our vast and varied collection of experiences is constantly getting updated.
​
I assume this is so we can be more INCLUSIVE and aware of the different TCK and CCK experiences that come up in discussions as more people learn about this concept.
​
I think of it has adding all the different names for a single color, like purple, instead of just saying there's only "purple". Hope that makes sense.
​
So when you're here trying to figure out if you "fit" or help someone figure out if they "fit"... please keep in mind that things may change, and ultimately it's the individual's decision to use the label.
​
Side note.
When I first found out about the term TCK (several book editions ago), I immediately wanted someone else to talk to about it. To process this discovery. I went to the first person I thought was also a TCK and asked them what they thought. In the end, they were extremely skeptical and the conversation ended there. Other friends who'd grown up exactly like me showed no interest in it either. It's up to the person, not what I think. It's also based on the most CURRENT definition in the book. So check your edition please!
