Further Discussions on the TIE Product

We had a further discussion on the TIE product today. We looked at the ideas we had before. We started about the topic of the differences between two cultures (Western v.s. Chinese). We made a Venn Diagram on the comparison the different cultures.

We talked about many aspects on the topic of the different cultures, such as: The valued concepts, the traditions that are used, etc. We talked about how Chinese people view Western cultures and how the development has urged Chinese people to slowly follow Western cultures. We then thought about what would be in the middle of the Venn diagram and we realised that us, as international students, would fit in the middle. Lastly, we decided that the idea of us, as students in the middle, can become the starting point for our TIE product. We could demonstrate how we view the different cultures and ideas that we were influenced by in the Chinese cultures. This would become a real life situation which would fit well in the global context we are learning about. Using this, the target audience we decided most suitable for this production would be the secondary staff and students. 

I thought that the further discussion added to this was very productive and useful for letting us know what direction we should be heading for making our TIE product. We ended up finding the starting point of our theme and topic that the production would be surrounding, which would be very useful for making the product in the near future.
