Why should this be required of GLOs? What does it have to do with the purpose of GLOs, with the exception of perhaps multicultural GLOs? Our collegiates are already programmed out the wazoo, that's one of the number one complaints from chapter members.
My job will likely never require me to go to a foreign country and conduct a business deal. While it would be interesting to learn what the proper etiquette of another culture (particularly b/c I do love learning that kind of thing), not everyone has the interest, nor do they have the time! That time could be better spent doing things that are more productive and that are more useful.
