« How Fulbright Scholar Overcomes Anti-Americanism Abroad - Adam Carter »
In Chapter 16 of 16, micro-philanthropist and humanitarian Adam Carter earns a Fulbright Scholarship and travels to Spain to pursue his studies. On the anniversary of 9/11, Carter finds himself in Morocco confronted by Anti-American sentiment. Carter asks these individuals to respect his opinion and not stereotype based on his nationality. This approach allows the conversation to be human, not political. The respect also opens dialogue to discuss challenging topics such as politics and religion once the individual bond is made. Carter continues to travel the world as founder of non-profit Cause and Affect Foundation (www.causeandaffectfoundation.org).
