For my final project I am going to be interview 3 students that studied abroad for 1 year in other countries.
In these interviews, I am hoping to see the difference between Greece, London, South Africa, and American culture. I think this will be an interesting thing to look into because I have only been comparing American culture to Chinese culture. Now I am able to add in 3 more cultures.
1) I will start by asking the same questions that I asked the international students that I interviewed here, so that I can see some of the differences and the similarities.
-Where did you go and how long were you there?
-Why did you decide to study abroad?
-What was your opinion of your new diet?
-What were your preconceptions about the country that you visited?
-What were some cutural differences that you noticed right away between here and the other culture?
-Who takes care of the finances in the family in the culture that you visited?
2) I will then expand my interview, so that they are able to compare the culture that they were in compared to the U.S.
-What were your favorite element in your trip culturally?
-Did you have to learn a new language? If so how long did it take you to learn it?
-What was the biggest difference from the U.S. and the new cultural?
3) I will set up a time to meet with all three of them at different times.
4) I will then compare the three interview that I conducted with the three interviews that I already have conducted, and try to find some similarities, and differences.
5) I will then have a paper on the similarities, and the differences.
6) I will also have the transcripts of all three interviews.
7) Cultural reports for all three countries.
