This document summarizes the results of a survey of 68 anonymous expat respondents conducted in May 2012 about risks associated with expat life. The survey asked questions about respondents' experience as expats, willingness to take risks, common risks faced by expats, and how risk is viewed differently in other cultures compared to their home cultures. Key findings included that the most common risks cited were job insecurity, health care access, and cultural adjustment. Respondents also noted risks like relationship strains, homesickness, and lack of local language skills. Comments suggested other cultures may see some risks, like quitting a stable job, as more severe due to different social and economic circumstances.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of 64 anonymous expat respondents conducted in May 2012 by www.expateverydaysupportcenter.com and @isointer @EngandCulture about risks that expats face. It finds that over 70% of respondents saw expat life as more risky than non-expat life. The top three risks identified were lack of local language skills, lack of support system, and job insecurity. While many expats were aware of risks, some felt more able to take risks after becoming expats. Respondents also provided examples of specific risks they had taken, such as moving without understanding costs of living or starting businesses in unstable economies.

3. Social gaming on Facebook engages huge numbers, with over 500 million monthly active users playing games and 50% of logins being to play social games.
The document provides advice for taking more risks in life abroad by discussing various strategies and techniques. It suggests leaning into uncertainty by moving toward risks. It then outlines 10 ways to take more risks in life abroad and encourages reflecting on past risks taken. Several tips are presented for how to take risks, such as imagining worst case scenarios, not limiting oneself, surrounding oneself with other risk-takers, and developing daily rituals to build awareness and center oneself.
Early signs of culture shock include excessive laughing or crying, isolating oneself by only listening to familiar music, and living primarily behind screens. In the middle stage, one may hate locals, engage in brief romantic flings, focus intensely on a new hobby or obsession with cleanliness. Later signs are longing for friends and family back home, uncertainty about retirement plans and finances, feelings of emptiness living alone in a foreign place, and not feeling a sense of belonging anywhere.
The document discusses blogging as a tool for trailing spouses to cope with challenges of relocation. Trailing spouses face issues like loss of employment, community, purpose and identity when relocating due to a partner's job. Blogging can help by providing an outlet for writing about experiences and connecting to others facing similar situations. Writing about experiences can improve health and allow deeper reflection on one's self and circumstances. Blogging inserts people into an online community and allows them to receive feedback and support as they adapt to a new location and lifestyle.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Risk may be a monetary issue. It absolutely depends on

things the better they like their new home.
20. How have you experienced that other cultures look at risk
differently than you or your home culture does?
(this is a response from one person……)
I think it's evolving in my expat country. I'm a 20-something person living in Spain, and the
unemployment rate is ridiculously high for this demographic here.
So a lot of Spanish 20-somethings are thinking about moving abroad to find work, but they have
traditionally minimized risk by living at home with their parents until they get married.
Looking at it in terms of being an expat, I'd say this is a similar outlook to the view of risk in my
home country (I'm British and grew up in the U.S.) In the U.S., people my age are also
looking further away from home and risking more in order to find paid work (though
moving countries is not as common or easy as it is within the E.U.).Well, interestingly
enough, most of the Germans I met would not be willing to move to another country in
pursuit of adventure.
They are generally quite comfortable here in their protective bubble. I wonder how much of that
has to do with the fact that they have six weeks of vacation to travel so they feel like
they've seen the world. The quality of life is pretty good here in Munich, so I can see why
they have a hard time leaving. Though I think it is sad, because it limits their
understanding of the world at large.
21. How have you experienced that other cultures look at risk

24. How have you experienced that other cultures look at risk
differently than you or your home culture does?
I usually get it in my face. Some cultures seem to have more boxed mentality.
You go to school have degree in x field, therefore you do x.
Somebody trained with x cannot do q.
Therefore there is denial of person's ability.
It's unacceptable that somebody trained to be underwater basket weaver become accounts
manager.
It is unthinkable.
So I think m cultural mentality can have very big effect on profession and risk-taking.
American mentality is that of risk-taking...is hard to say in few words but American ideals are off
beaten track--they are the misfits and crazies, individualists with ideal of "you can do anythng you
dream" the Barack Obamas, GlennArmstrong, Abe Lincolns etc... and this can come in conflict
with treadmill mentality of you grow up to be donkey-driver, get your donkey-driving license and
whatever you do never dream of singing like a blackbird because donkey-drivers can't sing.
It's not easy thing to define but cultural values and ideals exist that set what amount of risk is
acceptable.
Even within a society there is split and schisms or US society would not be so rancourous today.
But take an American raised with the tin-can to moon mentality and drop the person in
conservative central European society whether Austria or CR, you have big conflict of cultural
values and the one doesn't understand the other so well.
US-Japan--ok, there is better communication because of technological values and education and
they can talk in terms of numbers and statistical projections, but it depends on each situation.
Cultural values and historical background color definitions of risk and willingness for risk.
It's also generational... not easy question to answer and not easy concept to define.
Think your questionnaire is too vague.
