Blog post #2
i have read the article "UC student investment proposal" which is student attempting to solve the problem of high tuition of the University of California. After i read the article from "ethics in the higher education" i was thinking , who has the most highest tuition fee in a university? And i consider international students have higher education fee than other native students, therefore, i start to interested in a issue about" foreign students in abroad", this stakeholders for this issue will be all the students who study in a different country with various language and culture. As an international student in CSU, i have some personal experiences to study abroad and problems that i have to get used to and deal with. For instance, how to be an actual student in your class, how to make foreign friends like you did in your country, how to be comfortable in a foreign country with different cultures and how to live better in abroad. I believe most of international students have the same issue as me, thus i would like to solve it and provide some solutions for it. In my opinion, the best solution that international students need to do is don't be afraid to talk to people. Why i say afraid? because i believe most of international students they have a same mental state like i do which is we do not want to embarrass ourself and others, when we come abroad to study, we do learn the language that they speak, but we can't speak that well as good as native speakers. I still remember, when i first time talked to an american, we were discussing the country where i come from and the differences between USA and my country, so i tried my best to say what i can do, but no matter what i explained to him, he just looked at me and keep saying "Ok" "OK" .... to me, i could still tell his face was full of confusion and in the end he just left me with a word" sorry", i really fell embarrassed at that time. I think this issue has happened to lots of international students and consider this as one of the reasons that they afraid to talk to native people. Finally, the reasons that i consider international students have the power to implement my solution is when we still going to live or study in a foreign country, we will have the passion to be a better version of ourselves, for this reason, we encourage ourselves to talk to people and learn from them.
