How can I relate the different theories studied in class to my everyday experiences in a foreign country?
One of the great challenges you face as a foreigner is connecting what you learn about the culture from books and other sources with your everyday experiences. Analytical writing relates the theoretical knowledge you gained from the classroom to your personal experiences in another culture. Use concepts, perspectives, theories, etc. from your core MA in International Studies courses in your analytical writing. Analytical writing transforms your understanding by placing your experiences in a coherent historical or theoretical framework. In analytical writing, you strive to explain why an experience took place or why you disagree with certain customs, rituals, or values.
