Taiwan: Exploring a Different China
Due to the upcoming Christmas holiday, the UMD study
abroad group focusing on both Chinese language and culture will leave on 12/26, arrive on 12/27 in
Taiwan, and be challenged by its first day of
class on 12/28/2015 at Tamkang University ( 淡江大學) in Taipei, the capital city of
Taiwan.
A group of ten students selected through
interviews will participate in this 3-credit winter course. In addition to
studying traditional Mandarin Chinese, students will also enroll in classes examining the
following questions:
1.
What are the highlights in the history of Taiwan in the past 400 hundred years?
2.
How do the social philosophical differ between Taiwanese and American
societies?
3.
How has Taiwan been surviving as an independent country under
the shadow of China’s power?
4.
What are Confucian principles? How do modern lives in Taiwan
reflect these principles?
