STUDY ABROAD
Studying abroad may be one of the most beneficial experiences for a college student. By
studying abroad, students have the opportunity to study in a foreign nation and take in the
allure and culture of a new land. Here is a list of the top 10 reasons to study abroad!
1. See the World

The biggest reason you should consider a study abroad program is the opportunity to see the
world. By studying abroad, you will experience a brand-new country with incredible new
2
outlooks, customs and activities. The benefits of studying abroad include the opportunity to
see new terrains, natural wonders, museums and landmarks of your host nation.
In addition, when you’re abroad, you won’t be limited to traveling in just the nation in
which you are studying – you can see neighboring countries as well! For example, if you
study in France, you’ll have the option to travel through various parts of Europe including
London, Barcelona, and Rome.
2. Education
Another reason you might consider studying abroad is for the chance to experience different
styles of education. By enrolling in a study abroad program, you’ll have the chance to see a
side of your major that you may not have been exposed to at home.
You’ll find that completely immersing yourself in the education system of your host
country is a great way to really experience and understand the people, its traditions, and its
culture. Education is the centerpiece of any study abroad trip—it is, after all, a study abroad
program—and choosing the right school is a very important factor.
3. Take in a New Culture

Many students who choose to study abroad are leaving their home for the first time. When
they arrive in their new host country, they are fascinated by the distinct cultural perspectives.
When you study abroad you will find incredible new foods, customs, traditions, and social
atmospheres.
You will find that you have a better understanding and appreciation for the nation’s
people and history. You will have the opportunity to witness a completely new way of life.
4. Hone Your Language Skills

Chances are if you’re planning on studying abroad, one of the major draws is the opportunity
to study a foreign language. Studying abroad grants you the opportunity to completely
immerse yourself in a new language, and there is no better way to learn than to dive right in.
3
In addition to the considerable language practice you will get just in day to day life, your host
university will likely offer language courses to provide you with a more formal education.
Immerse yourself in a new culture and go beyond a purely academic experience
5. Career Opportunities
When you finish your study abroad program and return home, you will return with a new
perspective on culture, language skills, a great education, and a willingness to learn. Needless
to say, all of these are very attractive to future employers.
Many students find that they love their host country so much that they decide to seek
work there. If you can relate, you will find that a local education will be very valuable when
searching for a potential job in that country.
6. Find New Interests

If you are still questioning why to study abroad, you should know that studying in a different
country offers many new activities and interests that you may never have discovered if you’d
stayed at home. You might find that you have an as-yet undiscovered talent for hiking, water
sports, snow skiing, golf, or various other new sports you may never have tried back home.
You’ll also have the chance to discover other new and exciting forms of entertainment. Plays,
movies, dancing, nightclubs, and concerts are just a few activities that you can enjoy.
7. Make Lifelong Friends

One of the biggest benefits of studying abroad is the opportunity to meet new lifelong friends
from different backgrounds. While studying abroad, you will attend school and live with
students from your host country. This gives you the opportunity to really get to know and
create lasting relationships with your fellow students.
After the study abroad program ends, make an effort to stay in contact with your
international friends. In addition to rewarding personal relationships, these friends can also be
important networking tools later down the road.
4
8. Personal Development
There is nothing quite like being on your own in a foreign country. You might find that
studying abroad really brings out your independent nature. Students who study abroad
become explorers of their new nation and really discover the curiosity and excitement that
they harbor.
A benefit to studying abroad is the opportunity to discover yourself while gaining an
understanding of a different culture. Being in a new place by yourself can be overwhelming at
times, and it tests your ability to adapt to diverse situations while being able to problem solve.
9. Graduate School Admissions

Like future employers, graduate school admissions boards look very highly on study abroad
experiences. Students that study abroad display diversity and show that they aren’t afraid to
seek out new challenges or put themselves in difficult situations.
Most importantly, students who have studied abroad show just how committed they
are to their education. Graduate schools regularly look for candidates who will bring a unique
aspect to their university. Students who have studied abroad have shown that they have the
curiosity and educational acumen to be a leader in graduate school.
10. Life Experience

Why study abroad? For most students, this time may be the only opportunity they ever get to
travel abroad for a long period of time. Eventually you will find a job and career, and the
opportunity to study abroad may turn out to be a once in a life time opportunity.
Take this opportunity to travel the world with no commitments but to study and learn about
new cultures. Studying abroad is an experience unlike any other.

WATER
9
The first day the water truck came to Xiangshan village, the wells had already been dry for two months.
Throughout the hills flanking the city of Chongqing and stretching south and west into Guizhou and Sichuan
provinces, parts of China this summer suffered their worst drought in 100 years.
In Xiangshan, a tiny mountain village high above the Qi River valley 150 km south of downtown
Chongqing, residents had made do drinking from the muddy catchments in their fields. But by Aug. 24, when
the truck set out on what was starting to become a routine delivery, those holes too were dry and Xiangshan's
farmers had been forced to give up on irrigation. Pears hung hard and blistered on the trees. Sunflowers
crumpled. The bamboo was brown.
Ao Minhong, a truck driver conscripted by the local government, was working long days. He filled
plastic drums on his flatbed from a fire hydrant hooked up to the river. The Qi was listless that day and the
liquid in the drums looked like weak tea. When he rounded a bend into Xiangshan after an hour's climb, he
was mobbed. Li Caowan, a mother of two, worried the water wasn't clean. But she poured it into a ceramic tub
in her yard anyway. "What choice do we have?" she said. "There's nothing else to drink."
The scene was familiar. In Harbin last November, it was fire engines plying icy streets lined with
people holding buckets. Harbin's water had been contaminated with benzene from a chemical-plant explosion.
In February, the trucks were in Sichuan, where a power plant discharged a toxic cocktail into the Yuexi River.
And in September, when tap water for 80,000 in Hunan province was cut off because it had been tainted with
an arsenic compound, the trucks saved the day once again.
But water isn't supposed to come on trucks. China's flair for contingency plans isn't reassuring. Rather,
it's one of a growing number of signals that when it comes to dealing with this most basic of resources, the
country is failing. Some 320 million Chinese lack adequate access to clean drinking water. Deserts cover 27%
of the country's landmass. Most of China's surface water is unfit for human consumption, and some of that not
even clean enough for industrial use. Grain production is sliding. And the Yellow River runs dry so often and
so long that some scientists have argued that it ought to be considered a seasonal phenomenon. "China's water
10
shortage and pollution problems are more severe than any other large country in the world," said Qiu Baoxing,
Vice Minister of Construction, last month, "This is a critical point in time. We are at a crossroads."
That's the optimistic take; sometimes, though, it seems more like an approaching dead end. Already
China's water woes undercut many of Beijing's most cherished aspirations: contaminated rivers not only swell
health-care costs but increasingly generate domestic unrest. Continued droughts sap power supplies, ruin
farmers and will eventually mean competition with other nations for grain. Moreover, providing citizens with
the one precious resource that really does just fall from the sky is among the most fundamental duties we
expect developed nations to perform. If China is to continue toward its goals of economic prosperity, social
stability and stronger relations with the rest of the world, it will need to do better—and fast.

LOSING WEIGHT
It’s a familiar story. You pledge to honor a daily elliptical routine and count every last calorie.
But soon, you’re eating cupcakes at the office and grabbing happy hour mojitos, Opps, diet
over.
There is a better way: Swap the all-or-nothing approach for one or two healthy switch-
ups in your daily routine. “Doing this can lead to more weight loss than you ever imagine,”
says Marissa Lippert, RD, author of The Cheater’s Diet.
In fact, we talked to readers who knocked off 10, 25, even 60 pounds with some easy
tweaks. Borrow their slim-down secrets to transform your body the real-world way.
Swap your go-to order

“I used to eat out at restaurants up to nine times a week! By cutting back to just once a
week and ordering a grilled chicken salad instead of a large bowl of pasta, I’ve lost 20 pounds
in one month.”- Kerri Butter, Joplin, MO.
15
Skip the salty ailse
“I reached my goal weight after I stopped routinely buying snacks at the grocery store. If I
wanted a bag of chips or a candy bar, I had to walk to the store to get it. That inconvenience
usually made me ignore my cravings.”- Heather Del Baso, Woscester, MA.
Have a 300-calorie breakfast

“I used to skip breakfast, but now I never go without. I always eat about 300 calories of a
healthy mix of protein and whole grains. My go-to meal: a sandwich with natural peanut
butter and apple butter. I keeps my hunger down so I snack less throughout the day. In a little
over a year, I’ve shed 65 pounds.” - Bo Hale, Tulsa, OK.
Get it in five
“I try to fit in small bouts of exercise whenever possible, like doing jumping jacks or
crunches during television commercials or dancing while washing dishes. This burns extra
calories and keeps me from mindlessly munching in front of the TV. Now my clothes fit way
better, and I’m more tones than ever.” - Megan Tiscareno, Hammond, IN.

YOUTH AND MONEY
I With 91 percent of Americans supporting the addition of personal finance to a high
school curriculum, most people agree on the importance of financial education. It’s not just
adults who want to increase financial education - a recent Sallie Mae poll found that 84
percent of high school students want to learn more about personal finance. Unfortunately,
only six states require high school students to be tested on personal finance. Until more states
add financial literacy to high school curriculums, it’s up to parents to talk to their kids about
credit, budgeting, and other aspects of financial literacy.
ACCC’s Youth and Money financial education section is designed to aid parents talk
to kids as young as five about money, up through college. Our resources are aimed towards
kids as well, with fun activities and games for all ages.
It’s up to parents to begin the financial education process t a young age – the sooner,
the better. No matter your child’s age, it’s never too late to begin. But a staggering number of
parents don’t address financial literacy with their children. According to a recent study, one
out of three parents are more comfortable discussing drugs, smoking, and bullying with their
children, rather than money. With only six states in the country requiring financial education
testing in high school, it’s up to you to make sure your children are properly educated in
personal finances.
Using the resources and tools below, educate your child about money and how it fits
into our everyday lives. You can use your own life experiences as examples and lessons.
20
These lessons will help determine the kind of financial manager that your child will become
as a teenager and adult.
Our nation’s economic future depends on the financial well-being of our youth. It is so
important that children start learning about finances at a young age so they are better prepared
to make sound financial decisions in the future.
Don’t feel like your own financial education is adequate enough for you to teach your
kids? Visit our Financial Education Resources to better get a grasp on financial literacy so that
you can be a good role model and teacher for your kids.
II It’s important to earn and save money while in college. Whether at the undergraduate
or graduate level. Every little bit helps, even if you are just working to pay for your weekend
activities. Take advantage of lighter semesters and find a part-time job (or two) to help pay
the bills. Keep in mind that it’s important to be strategic about the type of job you chose to be
sure that it will do the most for you, both financially and professionally.
RETAIL JOBS
Apply for jobs at stores that you like to shop at or where an employee discount would be most
beneficial to you. Employee discounts are often as high as 40 or 50 percent on most
merchandise and this can be a great perk of a part-time job. However, beware that a retail job
can be dangerous if you overindulge and spend your shift shopping.
INTERNSHIPS
Although finding a paid internship can be challenging and competitive, the knowledge you
gain will be invaluable. Internships can also be a great way to network and make connections
within your field. Not to mention, future employers will look highly upon past work
experience in your specific field.
FEDERAL WORK STUDY JOBS
21
If you are eligible for a work study position through your school’s financial aid department,
be sure to take advantage of it. Since these jobs tend to be on campus, you can cut down on or
completely eliminate transportation costs. Most importantly, university employers understand
the demands of being a student and often allow you to do schoolwork during slow shifts.
Keep in mind that the maximum number of hours you will be able to work will depend on
your total Federal Work Study award.
TUTORING
Tutoring your specific major is a great way to study and simultaneously earn some extra
money. Use your school’s classifieds or other online forums to reach out to other students and
post your availability and expertise. If you play a sport or instrument, you can also offer
private lessons. Based on experience and expertise, tutors and instructors are often paid high
hourly rates for their services.
RESTAURANT JOBS
Although a job at a restaurant may not be the most glamorous option, it can be very lucrative.
Restaurants on or close to college campuses are usually bustling with professors, students, and
families. They are also a good option if you have a jam-packed class schedule since most
restaurant shifts tend to be in the evening.
Although working two jobs in school can be a feasible option, it can also be
overwhelming on top of classes and studying. If you chose this route, be sure that it is
manageable for you. Keep in mind that it may seem like a great deal at the beginning of the
semester when the work load is light, but when due dates for projects, papers, and finals start
piling up, you may quickly regret it.

Unit 5 Social Concerns
SMARTPHONE ADDICTION
We are so dependent on our smartphones that we often joke being addicted. However, what
many people still fail to realise is that smartphone addiction is actually a very real problem
affecting thousands across the globe. One in ten smartphones users now admit to using their
phones in the showers and during meals. The same figures even show that haft of people use
in while driving.
It’s already an enormous problem, but smartphone addiction is likely to grow even
more common due to the rising demand for and access to the handsets. That is not to mention
the rapid advances in the technology that allow them to perform more duties at even faster
speeds.
So what do you need to know bout the causes of smartphone addiction and how to find it?
Smartphones give us the ability to connect with our friends and family, to and entertainment,
to websites from CNN to Number Direct, with just a tap of touch screen. In short, they have
become a crucial part of everyday life.
However, overusing a product in such a fashion is the main reason people are
becoming addicted. Some find it difficult to function without their phones by their side.
Approximately 72% of people they are rarely more than five feet away from their handset at
any time. This is what is known as nomophobia (an abbreviation of no mobile phobia); the
fear that being away from your phone somehow disconnects you from the world.
As many forms of addiction, smartphone addiction is something that often stems from
other underlying emotional and psychological issues. It can be a side of depression or
25
obsessive-compulsive disorder. Overuse of a handset can be a crutch that people with post-
traumatic stress, attention deficit and social anxiety lean on too.
Smartphone addiction, particularly among children, is altering the way we interact
with one another. A member of Kwon Civic group in South Korea, Kim Nam-Hee, asked a
class room of 10-year-old students compare the hour they spend their smartphones with the
time they spend interacting with relatives. She found a disturbing gap between the amount of
digital and human interaction they were engaging in.
The consequences of this are very serious. Human interaction helps a child to develop
emotionally and behaviorally in a way that communicating over smartphone cannot. It allows
children to see a person’s emotional reaction and distinguish between what are good actions
and bad actions. Texting, talking or social networking over a smartphone cannot accomplish
this.
Adults are no less likely to become addicted to their smartphone though, and the costs
are no less destructive. Staring at a screen, for instance, prevents the brain from releasing
something that is called melatonin, our natural sleep chemical. As a result, our bodies don’t
register that we are tired. Overuse of smartphone therefore leads to interrupted sleeping
patterns and means that we do not function as well throughout the day, affecting our abilities
to work.
