Prepare a two-page paper on the topic: “A Look From the Outside – In”
Guidelines: Use the website: http://www.watchingamerica.com/News/
“Watching America” is an online foreign news source that has numerous political, social, and economic stories of how the world understands us from their (foreign) perspective, not from an “American” view.
(1) Select and read an article of your choice (translated in English).
Imagine you are a concerned citizen of the nation of which the article was written. How do you think this citizen would perceive the issue discussed in the article? Engage in some research to explore their perspective. How might the history of their country, culture, and socio-economic conditions influence this person’s viewpoint of the issue and American society? Write this portion of the article as if you are the citizen of the nation which the article is written. Changing back to your own voice, address the following: Is it possible for those in other countries to look at people in the American Society in a “relatively fair” manner? Conclude by evaluating how you imagine other nations’ “typical” values, using the cultural relativism perspective.
Please include the title of the article and cite using APA format.
