Living abroad for a while and returning to the U.S.A is a harder experience than people think. It can have some serious impact on people psychologically, socially and physically. How does one cope with returning the Trump’s America after living away for an extended period? How has the foreign experience shaped the way the person knows experiences American life? What does it feel like to be the outsider in your actual home? (P.S: choosing between a military personnel’s return or a civilian’s return)
Minorities in Corporate America
Things like the glass ceiling and social mobility are all results of the hierarchy in Corporate America, and it is no secret that being a minority has its impacts on how well you do or how far you get in this industry. With this fact, many minorities may feel displaced in their work place or even in the process of getting into the workplace. How do minorities approach issues such as discrimination and feelings of misrepresentation in corporate America outside of the legal measures? What makes them continue to pursue these careers despite the challenges they may face (outside of monetary gains)?
Scholarship Students in “snobby schools”
Lots of good things happen for students who are smart. In some special cases, some of these students are even able to get into prestigious schools because of the hard work they put into their studies. There are some students, though, who get into prestigious schools because they can afford it, or their families have a legacy that must be continued. How do these “scholarship students” deal with the class culture change when attending these rich kid schools? How does it affect their character?

Final Topic Question
– How do American expats (Americans living abroad) in Asia view America in regards to social life after Trump’s election into office?
Xena,
I’m concerned that this question might be too narrow. You are focusing on a very specific group of people and trying to find out how they feel about “Trump’s America.” Given that he has only been in office a few months, it’s difficult more me to imagine that there will be lots of sources that address this particular issue. Can you think of a way to broaden your scope?
