[AAACE-NLA] AAACE-NLA Digest, Vol 32, Issue 33

I know it probably is too much of a generalization to speak of the  Jewish 
and Asian cultures as being those who highly regard education, etc.  But, such 
generalizations must hold some truth, wouldn't hear about it so frequently.  
I also have friends from India, Turkey, Albania,  and Amsterdam, who also 
seem to value education in a way I am not used to.  Maybe it is because I live in 
a college town and am around people who are the "so-called" cream of the 
crop.  They didn't get here (U.S.A) to study on their good looks.  However, many 
of these people have mentioned to me that they are shocked at how little 
Americans know about the geography of the world.  So, it does make me wonder at 
times if there is something we are missing.  Linda
