"Thanks for your inspiring lecture! Your research and collected material is not only wonderful, but also very intriguing. You are collecting valuable data from our globalizing world. Your findings can initiate more research and/or provide new evidence on cultural dimensions as well as cultural imperialism (e.g. my research on horizontal globalization). In fact, I would love to use some of this collected material in my upcoming classes on Globalization: Pathway, "Globalizing Myself" and "Paradoxes of Globalization and Culture."

Mr. Szabo’s presentation was captivating, not only because it showed the reality of America’s image in the world, but it presented a reality of that image alongside a comedic interpretation of it.”

"Mr. Szabo's conglomeration of cartoons from abroad provided a more compelling visual expression of ideas commonly expressed [only] through words."

"The presentation was refreshing. While most speakers focus on the negatives of American perception around the world, Joe Szabo's presentation gave what I believe to be an unbiased account. For all of the times that America has muddied its feet in other countries' business, we have also offered opportunity and prosperity [even] to emmigrants from those very countries. America has done a lot of wrong in the world since its inception, but we have also done more good than any other country in the world during our brief history. Szabo's presentation showed balance, and the audience seemed to really appreciate it."
