Recommended: Implications of culture on education

Culture and lifestyle can be various from country to country due to people's different background and habit, especially for countries that their geographic location are placed in different region. Taiwan and the United States are one of the examples that contain a lot more differences than similarities. As an international student from Taiwan studying in the United States, I would like to point out some big contrast between these two countries. From the geographic aspect, Taiwan is located in East Asia and the United States is in North America. When you first look at the map of Taiwan and the US, the first thing you will notice is the size. In fact, the U.S is approximately 273 times bigger than Taiwan, which means Taiwan is even smaller

    An added advantage that the two American cities have over Taiwan is in the ease of students to feel comfortable, as compared to the cultural shock that they could encounter in Taiwan. Such breeds other dangers since human beings tend to resist and be afraid of what they do not understand. The extra cost for travelling all the way to Taiwan is much high compared to the cost that we will incur when we visit the two states. This is much boosted with the extra cost of meals that we were supposed to have. In Taiwan their staple food is quite different from what we are used to; that will mean more money to get us our food. The best place to take the class is where they get to see a lot, learn fast and get motivated from the world’s top cities (Hudman & Jackson, 2003).

  • Does Taiwan Have The Right to Be Autonomous?

    2061 Words  | 5 Pages

    Taiwan has a very long history with China in its early years of colonization, and since China gave Taiwan to Japan during the World War II, Taiwan formed an autonomous government and wanted to gain political autonomy from China. The problem considering the autonomy of Taiwan has been around for centuries. On one hand, Taiwanese people claim their land was separated from the Mainland China for a long time and should be reasonable to gain autonomy, while the Chinese government says that Taiwan is still an inseparable part of China and should maintain unified. Many of us are concerned whether Russia has the right to claim Crimea as one of its lands, and the problem between China and Taiwan is similar. There have been discussions in Asia about whether Taiwan has the right to be independent, which is to gain political independence from China, but settling this complicated dispute is not easy. If wrongfully put, the economy of both lands could be harmed, and the worst case would be war between the two lands. Taiwan has the right to be autonomous, but the fact could be that they shouldn’t be autonomous. Speaking from different angles, it would be best if Taiwan can maintain its current relationship with China, if not even closer relationship.
