International Students

<p>We are conducting a semester project for a college class. The goal of our project is to compare the view of people around the world on global issues involving education, politics, global warming, economics, and the War on Terror. Please answer the questions honestly and fully. Feel free to express your opinions and views. We are not questioning your view, only observing them. Our goal is to obtain the most accurate opinions from around the world.

  1. In America, college is a major part of education. After high school, students have a few options. One, to apply to and attend college. Two, join the military. Three, join the workforce. Please describe in detail the options for education after high school. What are the pros and cons of each option? Give some insight into your country’s education system.
  2. In America students typically join clubs or organizations that are based on interests. Some include sports, music, business, etc. Examples of non-academic hobbies are scrapbooking, reading, and club sports. What are your academic and non-academic related hobbies?
  3. America has played a large role in the “War on Terror” in the Middle East. How do you feel about America’s involvement in the Middle East? Feel free to express your own opinions and explain why you feel this way.
  4. In the current political state of America, global warming is a huge topic on the agenda. America wants to “go green” and is beginning to take the steps towards doing so with renewable energy research. What are your thoughts on global warming? Is your country taking any action to fight the climate changes?
  5. In America, citizens are allowed to vote once they turn eighteen years old. What role does politics in your country play in your life?</p>

<li><p>I am sure that in the US there are more things to do after high school than to work, go to college or join the military. In addition to any combination of the above things (e.g. work 30 hours a week and go to college part-time), there are other options like traveling, starting a family or helping out at home. Once you come up with an exhaustive list of all the things one could possibly do after high school, I guarantee that that list will be true for any other country in the world as well.</p></li>
<li><p>I think it’s funny that you are using the phrase “War on Terror”. Have you ever thought about how many “wars” the US is fighting? There’s the “War on Terror”, the “War on Drugs” and a “War on Poverty”. It’s not surprising that a country fighting that many battles at once is doing very poorly in all of them…</p></li>
<li><p>“Is your country taking any action to fight the climate changes?” Wow… You do realize that the US is the most underdeveloped country in terms of climate-protection meassures world wide?</p></li>

<p>4.“US produced 36% of emissions in 1990,making it the world’s biggest polluter”,BBC news.
Also I believe it was the US that turned down the Kyoto Treaty(a treaty designed to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases).
From the phrase “beginning to take the steps towards doing so with renewable energy research” do u mean:
a)thinking of
b)planning to
c)starting to
coz i seriously think it is option a.
5.Politics plays the same role in our lives as it does in your lives.</p>

<p>Any country that fond of using the word ‘War on (fill in the blank)’ says a lot about their propensity for violence and aggression…</p>
