Assignment Nov 30 - Dec 4

Describe how your surroundings are different in China from what you experience in San Diego.

Try to view things in the ways that we attempted to look at the world during our discussions of globalization in our SOCCOM class.

Possible comparisons and contrasts to consider in your report:

Differences in infrastructure
Is there evidence of a "green" movement in China?
How do people in China view America?
What do Chinese people think of Barack Obama's recent visit to China?
Find out the structure of the local government-- how is it different from Carlsbad and San Diego? How is it similar? Do the people have a voice in their local officials?
Ask around-- how many people have high-speed internet access at home?
What kind of medical care do people have access to compared to us?

Post your responses and also be prepared to respond to any posts/ questions that might arise from your PRS classmates
