Working on our presentation

Duelling Titans

We (Marina and Mi) both worked on the article “Dueling Titans” which is basically about China and America´s global supremacy, and the competition between both superpowers.

The whole article deals with an extensive topic and it contains a lot of information so we decided to focus on China.

Of course we also worked with the internet and a word document  just to collect the huge sum of given information. While reading the article we wrote down some important phrases and keywords from the text, and paragraphs which are definetly worth mentioning.

Furthermore parts and vocabulary which still seemed unknown so that we were able to look them up by using „google“ or any other resources.

We tried to divide the whole text into different sub-items.

First of all we started finding out more about China, the country in general and then informed us about the development their economy, and why they are able to compete against a powerful country like the United States.

Our conclusion : working on this article was already really complex and we´re neither business nor economy genes so we were trying to make the most of it.

The whole topic “Globalization” is a very extensive and wide-spread subject, and it´s difficult to understand everything.

It deals with so many aspects and it´s always up to date.

Because of  those facts you really have to go after the news just to keep on with the constant changes so that you are able to acquire the knowledge you actually need.

On balance it is an important subject which you have to deal with, and it can be interesting too, but it´s definetely ever so much work.
