Are the borders between different cultures disappearing due to the rise of the internet and social media? Or do cultures just become more detached from each other? Tim Richardson talked about differences between cultures.

Tim has spent most of his career in the U.S. diplomatic corps in such far-flung and diverse postings as Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Malaysia and the Republic of Georgia. Throughout his diplomatic career, he has worked with people at all levels of society, from senior government officials to activists to refugees, often discussing the differences that separate us and what brings us together. Now living in Brussels, Tim is the Counselor for Political and Economic Affairs at the U.S. Embassy to the Kingdom of Belgium.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
