Article #2: Switzerland (due January 26, 2012)

For your second analysis, go to the swissinfo.ch website to find an article about Switzerland:
http://www.swissinfo.ch/

You will notice that swissinfo.ch publishes articles in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.  This link is to the English version.  A number of articles from different areas will appear in the center of the page. The current day's stories have an introductory blurb, the stores from past day's have a simple link. There are also links to other stories on the right.  Be careful to select an article about something in Switzerland.

Select an article that interests you, read the article closely, then address the following items in your written analysis:
1) provide a brief summary of the article
2) describe the cultural aspect in your article (Do not just summarize the article)
3) compare/contrast the information with the U.S. and/or your expectations. If something surprised you, include that as well with an explanation of why you were surprised.
4) evaluate the cultural importance in terms of what you know about Swiss culture and how it either did or did not change your perception of Swiss culture

Remember that you need to write 350-500 words in your analysis and provide citation information and a working link to the article.

Refer to the example I have posted below if you are not sure how to formulate your analysis.
