Ann Shen is a young professional, global traveler and advocate for empowering women.  She grew up in Shanghai and has spent her time studying and working around the world.  We talk about the export of American pop-culture and its influence globally. We debate if the impact of social media on society and individuals is ultimately more negative than positive.  We discuss the decay of news media and journalistic integrity, its prioritizing of speed over truth, and its affect on our world view, emotions and relationships. ______________________ If you enjoy this show don't forget to leave a rating!
