Overseas Study

Currently, the measures of studying abroad have become more diversified, such like studying abroad through the Education Service and being an exchange student in the school programs, which contribute to the increasing amounts of people who study abroad and the trend of overseas study. Toward this situation, society has an argument about whether is positive or negative to study abroad. Some people who have the positive attitude about studying abroad think it’s a good way to know another culture first-hand, develop skills and enhance employment opportunities while some people hold the opinion that studying abroad strengthen money burden and enlarge cultural conflicts. Although studying aboard has many advantages, it is not as good as we think in many cases, which can have negative influences on personal developments, cause some troubles for family or even be harmful for society.

As for bad influences on personal developments, loneliness can be hard to handle when one encounter that no social network in new country and have to develop new habits (Bettina 61). Although technology has developed so quickly that people can contact with friends and family more convenient through Facebook, Skype, MSN and others, there are totally different from face-to-face talk which have inner heart contact or even a hug to show warmness and support. One needs to have an “adjustment period” at the beginning of overseas study, and if do not handle it well the feeling of exclusion will overwhelm which strengthen loneliness and be harmful for personal developments. On 7th, Oct. in 2012, a Chinese student named He, who studied at Langley School in Norfolk hurt his classmate with a knife because of his classmate

refused to borrow him soy sauce, was sentenced to prison for 4 years. This case shocked people a lot about how could He be so impulsive at that time, but people all went into a pity when they found that it due to the loneliness during his overseas study days, which he did not have good friends and could not talked his unhappiness to others in the daily days. Loneliness even becomes a reason to people who study abroad to choose suicide which prove negative aspects on overseas study.

Besides loneliness, reality of overseas study can be treacherous which is harmful to personal development. Among these, culture shock, including communication problem that involves the frustration that come with the lack of the new understanding, the verbal and nonverbal communication of the new culture, its’customs and value systems and others, which means huge differences and many weird things can not ignore (Bettina 111). For example, Mike who studied abroad in Australia from high school felt uncomfortable at the beginning of his life in host family. One day he found a big spider in bathroom and he killed it without any hesitation and felt happy at that time. However, after few days he had a talk with the owner because of owner’s disappoint during those days, he realized that the spider he had killed was the pet of his host family’s owner because he had no idea about that in foreign countries pet is regarded as a family member. What’s more, the experience that lack of food, unacceptable standards of living, different bathroom facilities and fear of personal safety can confuse the people who study abroad and have negative influence on personal development.

The costs of studying abroad can seem daunting which strengthen the burden of

family. As a data which in 2007 mentioned according to the Education Abroad Center, studying abroad in China costs $8000, Italy costs $10,000, and Paris up to $15,000 (Wendy 78). It is a big number of a working class family that many parents are under great pressure to try their best to earn money to pay for it and sometimes it cause some disaster like health problems and family argues which make people feel pity and introspected about whether is correct or not to study abroad. Therefore, one should consider the alienation with family relationship when decide to study abroad. During the day of studying abroad, one can not know what happen to family timely, can not share happiness and unhappiness through heart-to-heart talk and even can not always contact with family. Those are the factors people should consider about the impact for family before studying abroad.

Studying abroad also has some negative influences on society, including brain drain and some bad images can be impactful. Taking China as an example, recently data indicates that eighty-seven percent of mainland’s top specialists and engineering who went abroad for work or study have no plans to return meanwhile 90 percent of Chinese students who get a PhD in US choose to settle down (Wendy 140). This trend is really harmful for China’s future in economic, technology and many other aspects by taking talent to developed countries. Meanwhile, people who choose overseas study are in different level, some are well-educated but some are rude and arrogant that cause trouble between different countries. For instance, some people are ignoring the different culture customs and public rules behave themselves in a rude way or even have quarrels and fights with the native civilians without realizing they are the

presents of their country, which draw a bad impact to other countries and influence the relations with countries.

Although some positive aspects to study abroad, which foreign countries have better environments and resources for study and life, enrich one’s experience and horizons, play an important role to encourage people to choose overseas study, people should realize the negative aspects at the same time. Overseas study not only has negative influences on personal developments and family, but also does harm to society. Therefore, when people make a decision on whether to study abroad should have a clear idea that overseas study is not perfect, it has many disadvantages in many cases.

Advertisement广告 1. Do you like advertisements on TV? Oh no, TV is a purgatory. The TV advertisements today appear to be not only boring but also disturbing. They interrupt in the midst of our enjoyment of a game or a film. Most of the advertisement materials are irritating and of course of low taste. The presentation is mostly awkward and obscene. 绝不，电视简直就是炼狱。现在电视上的广告变得不仅仅是无聊了，而且还特别烦人。这些广告往往在我们欣赏比赛或电影时候的中间跳进来。大多数广告特别让人愤怒，当然品味还很低。这些广告的描述又傻又低俗。 2. What kind of advertisement do you like the most? Word of mouth is hands down the BEST advertising. It's one of the most credible forms of advertising because every time people make a recommendation, they have nothing to gain but the appreciation of those who are listening. 口碑绝对是最好的广告。这是最可信的广告方式之一，因为每当人们对一个产品做出评价时，他们除了能得到听者的感谢外，得不到任何其他好处。 3. Why do you think there are so many advertisements now? Whether you do like them or not, whenever and wherever it's possible that you can meet them. For biz sellers, ad could be very helpful to promote their products. For acceptors, ads might show some latest information. To buy or not to buy, to be fond of or not, all depend on your decisions. 无论你是否喜欢广告，你都有可能随时随地遇到它们。对于那些销售人员来说，这也许对推销商品有帮助。对于接收者来说，广告或许能展示给他们最新的信息。买或者不买，喜欢或不喜欢，就取决于个人决策了。

个案研究法(Case Study)

个案研究法（Case Study） 陈姿伶 中兴大学农业推广教育研究所 早在1870年，美国哈佛大学法学院即创用此一个案研究法来训练学生思考法律的原理原则。依叶重新（2001）的考证，此法最初多用于医学方面，应用于研究病人的案例；尔后，陆续地于心理学、社会学及工商管理学等领域相继被沿用，至今于教育界的运用也相当广泛，大都采此法于教学与相关的学习研究上，或者应用于教育心理与儿童心理等领域，特别对于超常儿童、特殊才能儿童、学习落后或低度缺陷儿童等类型学习者的心理研究。 而在这当中几位举足轻重的关键学者，如实验心理学家菲吉纳于1860年创立新物法，针对个别对象，进行有系统的感官研究，建立著名的Fecher’s Law。之后，弗洛伊德及皮亚杰等，于其所涉及的相关研究中皆不难发现「个案研究法」被运用的例证。以弗洛伊德为例，可被视为是运用个案研究法于精神病学的先驱，就其处理精神神经症的病人方面言之，则是致力于发现所谓的「一致的经验模式」。在其细心的探求下，使得病人能够回忆自己在儿童及年轻时代所发生的，但却已遗忘良久的，有关创伤性的或与性有关的意外事件，根据弗洛伊德的假设：这些意外事件或可用来解释病人的神经性行为，以所曾研究之Sergei Petrov 的—位狼人（the Wolf Man）的生活史来说，其最后并以「来自婴幼期神经症的生活史」（From the History of an Infantile Neurosis）为标题，将研究结果撰写成书并于1918年出版问世，此书则是弗洛伊德应用个案研究的典型例举之一，且其所归结获致之个案的结果，事实上与其假设一致吻合，这亦使得心理的个案分析因此一时蔚为时尚，且被认定视为一项有效的处理事情的方法。 总言之，个案的运用与分析，在法律和医学知识的传授上，早就成为最基本的教学工具之一。法律的名词称个案为「案例」或「判例」，医学的名词则称其为「病例」。至于个案分析在社会学上的发展沿革，则可依年代顺序归纳如下：（1）1908年，哈佛大学创设企业管理研究所，由经济学家Edwin F, Gay担任首任院长，他认为企管教学，应仿效哈佛法学院的教学方法，Gay称作「问题方法」（problem method），自此哈佛大学设置个案发展单位。 （2）在1920年代早期，Wallace B. Donam出任哈佛企管研究所主任。他到职后，敦促所属教授，从企业活动中直接搜集资料，拟订新的教材，鼓励教授搜 集有关市场交易，工商财务及其他方面的个案，并从事工商业的实验工作。 他亦吸收不受传统研究方法所约束的学者来一起从事研究。 （3）Elton Mayo，其中一位参与者。领导了「霍桑实验」（Hawthorn Studies）。在社会学方面，「实地研究」这个观念，从研究人类行为的个案已收到了效果。（4）第二次世界大战中后期，哈佛教授搜集了许多其他的个案，设立了一个委员会，用以促进个案研究之教学。该委员会于1937年致力介绍「个案报告」

跨文化交际案例case study 6

Chapter 5 Verbal and Non-verbal Communication Case 1 Two strangers have been chatting. A: So you’re been here for a year? B: Yes. One more year to go, then I’ll go back to china. A: What will you do back home? B: It’s hard to know. There’s a lot change at the moment. A: Yeah.Everything’s changing, everythere. Sometimes it’s difficult to keep up. B: That’s true. Maybe I’ll… (A’s mobile phone rings.) A: Excuse me, I’d better answer this. It’s probably work. B: Sure. Take your time. 分析：有时在与人交谈中，难免要有什么原因要离开一会儿，或是去接一个电话，或要去洗手间。礼貌再此被提出来。出于礼貌起见，要记住做一些恰当解释再离开。不管理由是什么，即便是要接一个手机电话，在打开电话回话前，向对方说声对不起。 如果只离开几分钟，没有必要找一个理由。你说了对不起，就表明你确实是有事要离开一会儿。 Case 2 One cold winter day in a Chinese city, Wang Lin on his way to the library met an American pro fessor who knew very little about China. After greeting him, Wang said: “It’s rather cold. You’d better put on more clothes.” But the professor didn’t appear happy on hearing this. 分析：美国人以及大部分西方国家的人们不喜欢被告知要怎么做怎么做，他们比较喜欢独立，然而中国人则习惯关心别人，这个案例中王林的建议表达的就是一种对他人的关心，可是美国教授却不习惯这样的表达。 Case 3 Li Ping is calling his colleague and friend Tony.
