Response#1: Are you a monochron, polychron, or balanced?
Amanda’s blog post about multitasking reminded me of a class about management styles I had at Georgetown University’s Intensive English Course last Fall. Dr. Sigrun Biesenbach-Lucas, my English professor, assigned us an article from our textbook, and the article explained … Continue reading

Personal#3: Rio’s war against drug trafficking
As we dive into wars in this course, I’ll tell you about the war we, “cariocas” (natives of Rio de Janeiro), have learned to deal with in our daily lives. If you’ve been following the world news, you’ve probably read … Continue reading

Weekly#11: Djibouti, nice to meet you
There’s a long time since I don’t hear about Djibouti; the last time was probably at school, and this is why I chose this tiny African country to explore. A former French colony, Djibouti is a Muslim country located in … Continue reading
Weekly#10: Devotee of Saint Zuckerberg

Weekly#7: Published encyclopedia or Wikipedia?
In “The Book Stops Here”, published in Wired, Daniel H. Pink said it all: “Encyclopedias aspire to be infallible. But Wikipedia requires that the perfect never be the enemy of the good. Citizen editors don’t need to make an entry … Continue reading
Personal#2: An Outburst
I’m living a contradictory life – I’m a Communications professional lacking communication skills. This is pathetic. An interesting phenomenon happens when you live abroad: you don’t really learn the foreign language as it’s spoken and, at the same time, you … Continue reading
Weekly#2: Should CEOs blog?
Yesterday I bumped into – and twitted – the article “Report: most CEOs are mum online”, from PRWeek, and it was the perfect peg for me to make up for a blog post assigned three weeks ago. According to the … Continue reading
