...The advantages of studying abroad far outweigh the disadvantages. Discuss In today’s world, a considerable number of students are not limited to study in their local countries. Instead, they choose to study abroad. This phenomenon becomes a trend especially in recent years. A variety of different attitudes have been come up with on both sides of the question. It is in this background that this essay begins by outlining the arguments for students choose to study abroad and point to the problems with these views. Afterwards, it will conclude with a summary of the main ideas canvassed. An important reason for students choose to study abroad is to improve their language skills. It is generally known that English is the official language in a large number of countries, in other words, English is a world language. If people want to enter a global workforce, speaking English fluently is very important for themselves. Studying abroad gives them a chance to practice their language skills. According to Lafford (2006), Study abroad has traditionally been assumed to be the best environments in which to acquire a second language. He argued that study abroad could help students to improve their target languages’ pronunciation, grammar and vocabularies through their usual life. Coincidentally, Freed (1995) pointed out that the students who study abroad could improve their speaking skills and make their second language become more fluent. However, as Anastasia (2014) has indicated, the second...

...piano player, but decided not to pursue the interest further due to his mother’s unexpected and untimely death. Mr. Ellsberg went on to pursue his educational pursuits at Harvard University where he immediately thrived. He received his B.A. degree in Economics from Harvard, and later attended for a year at local colleges such as King’s College. He also attended Cambridge University, on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. Between 1954 and 1957, Ellsberg spent three years in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving as rifle platoon leader, operations officer, and rifle company commander. In 1959, Mr. Ellsberg became a strategic analyst at the RAND Corporation where he performed his duties of specializing in problems pertaining to the command and control of nuclear weapons, nuclear war plans, and crisis decision-making. He was also a member of two of the three working groups reporting to the Executive Committee of the National Security Council during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. In 1965, he performed his strategic expertise in the Defense Department where he worked specifically at the U.S. Embassy. It was not until Mr. Ellsberg made his return at the RAND cooperation where his life would become the subject of national headlines. On return to the RAND Corporation in 1967, Ellsberg worked on the top secret McNamara study of U.S. Decision-making in Vietnam. The years studied from 1945-68, which later came to be known as the Pentagon Papers. While working his position at the RAND Corporation...

...Abstract What is most interesting about what began in the smallest country in Northern Africa is that it had escalated to the most sweeping movement that changed the face of the Middle East for years to come. The Arab spring began to wield its head around December of 2010 in Tunisia but was truly set off once Mohamed Bouazizi a local vendor was humiliated in public by a police officer and was not permitted to sell his fruits (Staff, 2011). This has proven to be a normal practice in Tunisia, in a country where most of its population is college educated. They are unlike other Arab nations in neighboring areas; the majorities of all Tunisians are educated and have been education abroad. This was a wide spread practice across the region with regard to the inhabitants of these countries, the cruel and unjust treatment from these authoritarian leaders, corrupted law enforcement, and suppression of their religious leaders by their very own law enforcement agents. Being able to witness this first hand, observing the way of life within the region and oppressive living conditions they are subjected too, while their monarchs, military and state leaders live a very lavish life. While reviewing why the Arab spring happened, the impact it has had in the Middle East and on its economic system, we will analyze the outcome and the overall consequence it will have on the region. We will also touch on the domino effect that this small nation has set into motion in this corner of the world that was so...

...History of Men’s Basketball and the influence On American Society Will have on College Sports Abstract Basketball is an organized team sport which consists of 5 players from each team competing against each other. The object of the game is to shoot a round ball into a circular basket. Basketball can be played in an organized manner or at a park or local gym for recreational purposes. Over the past 100 years the game of basketball has grown from a peach basket to highlight slam dunks. As time has passed by, the rules and the way the game is played has changed. New rules were implemented to make the game more enjoyable and create more of a competitive balance for all those who play. Players were given titles for the position they played like for example, the tallest player on the team was called the center. While the shortest player on the team or the person who dribbled the ball the best was called the point guard. The history of basketball has correlated with the history of the US during the 20th century. As the game and the country began to evolve, the game of basketball became the 2nd most played sport in the world behind soccer. Some of the major events in American history in the 20th century such as Brown vs. Board of Education impacted the growth and development of basketball in the beginning. Although, whites and blacks both played basketball, they did not play with or against each other until the 1950s on a pro level. Basketball was the only...

...CHINA VS. ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Communication is the activity of transmitting information. Lafayette College (2012) estimates that there are about 6,500 living languages in the world, and Mydans, Seth (2007) state that in terms of globalization, business, and technology, English is the most common language worldwide. According to the Graddol, David (2006), an estimate of 2 billion students worldwide were studying English in 2010. English is actually considered the official global language; it is the official language spoken by the world’s dominant economy, the United States, many commonwealth countries, multinational firms, top universities, and the scientific community. In 2005, the consulting group McKinsey warned China because less than 10 percent of its college graduates did not have the prerequisites to get a job in multinational corporations, primarily because they could not speak English. As we know, China’s economy and industry is growing by leaps and bounds. According to Economy Watch (2010, June 30), the country is ranked second by their nominal GDP, and although the country seems to be in its best moment, the communication barrier will be an obstacle that could slow down the growth process in the near future. China needs to increase its English speaking population in order to keep its economy growth rate, to improve the education and quality of life of the next generation, and to increase and enhance the tourism sector of the country.

...Writing 101: Title University of Maryland University College Insert Title Here Throughout my life I have traveled to many countries on four different continents. My occupation is centered around interactions with other human beings, despite their background, culture, language, values, or beliefs. My success hinges on my ability to relate to other people and earn their trust. This in and of itself can be an overwhelming task when dealing with other Americans. Pile on top the stresses of a hostile environment where your country is viewed as an occupier, morally and religiously at odds with the host nation, and the fact neither of you speak the other’s language. This, to some extent or another, has been a large part of my life for the past eight years in the Marine Corps. Other than making me really, really good at party games like Pictionary where you have to communicate without words, I have picked up some similarities through my experiences between the cultures I have interacted with that are shared despite geographic separation, cultural exclusivity from lack of outside influence or exchange, and prior indoctrination of biases through propaganda or limited experiences. In the following pages, I intend to discuss these similarities to assist the traveler when she or he finds themselves in a similar position. While each interaction with an individual in a foreign country may seem trivial to the average American, that may be the only American that foreigner ever...
