People have so many different perspectives, ideas and opinions on specific events, actions and just life in general. There are going to be people that will agree with you just like there are going to be to ones that will disagree with most of your thoughts. That is what got me thinking of this project, we all have different ideas how to get through this pandemic, some might seem impossible to happen but so far everything that has happened seemed like a nightmare and yet here we are.
My project will be based on different countries in Europe, Asia, USA states and more parts of the world. I will be comparing how they dealt with this situation. My final “thing” will be an essay along with maybe some dialogs from specific politics and then some citizens but that is not final yet more ideas are coming through my head. However I am planning to make the essay as interesting as an essay can be.
I have already watched many different politics in Europe and even in the USA talking about what their next steps are going to be. It is very interesting to compare them and find some similarities and even sometimes bondings between countries. I am looking forward to seeing more countries working together and helping each other.
I think this is such a perfect project for you! I suspect your unique perspective will really bring something special to this project that would otherwise be hard, if not impossible, to capture. I sense that you are really drawing on your personal experience and observations as inspiration here, which I believe is a necessary ingredient to producing the highest quality work. Very excited to see what you do!
Each country will have different responses to the pandemic. I think policy made in time of crisis is revealing - What does the government rush to support first? Next, what action is taken to meet that goal? Formalizing those questions and answering them might be helpful in writing the main body of your essay.
You said that this all seems like a nightmare... uh I agree. This sucks. You also said that you were interested in the relationships nations could foster with each other through this - perhaps you could look for a positive light to shed on the nightmare?
This is a cool project!!! Necessary too!!
