Norms Across Culture

 * 1) Objective I propose to make a YouTube video interviewing two Americans and two Chinese students about dating habits in their respective cultures.
 * 2) Interest This is interesting because many Americans do not fully understand Chinese culture.  While dating is an interesting topic, it is also important because there is a lot of inter-dating and knowledge of each others' cultures is important.  The sociological importance is the display of norms within the subcultures of American students and Chinese students.
 * 3) Background reading I will read wikipedia, text book and other basic sociology texts on the following topics:  norms, values, and general culture from the textbook.
 * 4) General Plan I plan to find one boy and one girl from each culture to interview.  I will come up with eleven question for them to answer and then edit the ones that show the greatest differences in though.  Then I will polish the video and upload it onto YouTube via my account.  My group and I will work on each part together.
 * 5) Collaborators I will be working with User:Mc_Ra_Spring_2008 and User:Qi_Ni_Spring_2008
