Topic: Research an educational issue from the perspective of a researcher in Global cultures major.

***You would need to connect this to a main point that you are trying to make about American and Chinese education (NOT CULTURE SHOCK!!). Please focus on how both systems, despite their strong differences, have aspects which are important for preparing students for today’s career world and that it is important for students to be exposed to some of the aspects in both systems.***

To compare American and Chinese education systems, please focus on:
Part 1: The teaching styles from these two countries.
Part 2: The advantages of both education systems eg. Chinese students are good at taking tests -> they are trained to excel in exams  and search logically for direct answers; US students learn to challenge standard and answers are explore different possibilities.
