History must be known by everyone, so we do not repeat its mistakes. This idea inspired Lee Sentell, Alabama Tourism Department Director, to create the US Civil Rights Trail in 2004. To accompany the project, there’s also a book, and its latest edition includes a special feature to attract younger generations.

For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

A few years ago, I came to briefly know Amber Heard. The woman I met on the phone, then later in person, struck me as authentic and sincere as she spoke about her role as a Human Rights Champion of the United Nations Human Rights Office. I never imagined she'd one day become the singular focus of influencers and creators eager to mock and monetize her tears.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
