Society & Culture Review – Fall ‘09

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

This week was the final week of class for those in my “The Society and Culture of Major English-Speaking Countries ( 英语国家社会与文化入门 ) “ class.

We covered units 18 & 19 which touched on Australian politics and the phenomenon known as “whistle-blowing”.  Then we did a quick review of the major topics covered this semester (units 1 – 17).

Week 16: Australia, Politics (Unit 18 – 19 + Review)
