Third Culture Kids: Third culture individuals can also be referred to as cultural hybrids, cultural chameleons, and global nomads.[2] TCIs are particularly adept at building relationships with other cultures while not possessing a cultural identity of their own. They are usually referred to as militarybrats, diplobrats, missionary kids etc... tckid/ One of the challenges of being a third culture individual is developing a sense of belonging, commitment, and attachment to a culture. These factors play a strong role in ones self-esteem and identity, and are especially apparent as present or not present among TCIs.[14] There are psychological benefits to being a bi-culturally competent individual, meaning that adjustment to the host culture and repatriation do not pose a difficulty for the individual. Individuals who do not experience this same smooth transition into the new culture are referred to as culturally rootless and cultural homelessness. Culturally homeless (CH) individuals often experience confusion over their identity and especially because the TCI is frequently abroad during the adolescent development years when identity is most solidified psychologically. https://youtube/watch?v=FouOIB_AAfw#t=212 Duncan Armstrong Paloma Muñoz Quick Flora Katz Andrade Kat Derham Katarina Iskovicova Soohang Lee Chara Sophia Jackson-Allan Christoph Schemel Chauncey Archer Robert Christopher Daniel Luis Valdes Constantine Georgiadis Meaghan Grewal Thereza Zarvos De Medicis Paula Vasconcellos
