The cross-cultural encounter that I wish to investigate in my blog is child labor in China. The reason why I chose this topic is because I do not have any personal engagement of a culture and because I know very little about the rules and regulation of child labor in China. This topic grabs my attention because I firmly believe that children at that stage in life should be enjoying life and not working so hard. What I hope to learn from this cultural encounter is that: why are children working in at a very young age? Why are some children forced to work in sweat shops? Why doesn’t the government enforce child labor laws upon their citizens? I attend to learn a lot about China’s government and the children way of life. By the end of the semester I want to able to distinguish fact from fiction. I feel as though the less I already know about the cultural the more I will learn through investigating.
