Profile Writing

     I want to interview Mrs. Barbara, who is working in the Catholic Church located in our campus. I am attracted to her kindhearted and outward personality and perfect balance between family,career,and travel. She is full of life wisdom which can be examined through any conversation with her. Especially, she often gets excited to talk about her trip to Japan twenty years ago. But every time when she wanted to go further  concerning the differences between Japanese and American cultures,she stopped because of the lack of time, which also left me a great curiosity about her opinions on Japan in the past. And furthermore, I know some of Japanese exchange students with the freshest experience of cultural conflicts, which are probably described differently. Following this route, I'm eager to discover the story of Mrs. Barbara's trip and to examine American-Japanese cultural conflicts and the changes of Japanese culture under the background of globalization or "Americanization".
