Undergraduate / East meets West UC Prompt #2 [3]
Maybe you can talk about an experience within your native culture that goes with your thesis?
Many of my close friends, if not all of them, often tell me of stories in which their native Asian cultures often class with those of American cultures. The examples they often give me revolve around their parents traditions vs. what they wish to do in America, their dreams for you vs. your dreams for yourself, etc.
A good way would be to maybe start with a scenario in which you experienced this "clash of cultures." You can elaborate on how this relates to the person you are and then close off with a conclusion that echos your thesis by touching on the scenario once again (maybe a "looking back" kind of deal, etc).
If this doesn't make sense, please make sure to point that out and I will be more than glad to make myself clearer. (:
...and I'm sure many others will be able to give you great advice, as I am merely a new kid on this site!
Best of luck!
