Comparative Paper 2

I forgot to remind you that the due of the second comparative paper is due this week.
So, I extend the due to the following Thursday (April 10th).
You can submit the paper anytime by April 10th.
Submit by email is fine, but I don't take responsibility for delivery failure from network trouble.

If you haven't written the paper yet, please try to make a comparison with your own analysis, like what you think about the difference, what you feel about it, what you agree or disagree on something in both culture, etc.
I require you to use at least two resources. You can use the sources to get information/facts, but I still want you to write your thought about it. I don't grade your thought. (*like I don't grade your paper bad just because your thought is different from mine. Because I think coexistence of different thoughts is mandatory for coexistence of different culture.) But I just want you to have your thought about it.

In order to understand the different culture, you would process acceptance, resistance, reinterpreting, and so forth. Here is a model of the process of cultural understanding.



This diagram shows three destinations (shown in purple):
1. refusal/ignorance
2. disorganization
3. new balance (understanding)
I hope you don't get to refusal/ignorance in understanding Japan.


Anyway, this is such a late notice. I am soooo sorry.
