mangolove Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Hi! I was wondering how I could narrow down my question.How does astrology play a part in Chinese culture?or should I compare between 2 cultures on how astrology plays a part in them?

Award Winning Boss Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 You'll just be describing. Plus what subject do you plan on putting that into? If you just describe you'll fail. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangolove Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm thinking about history. Will this work?How does astrology play a part in Chinese culture as opposed to foreign influences?Although, I'm afraid that I won't have enough evidence to support my argument.

rFumachi Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 You could try to focus it in Psychology, something involving the sociocultural influence of astrology in China during a determined period of time. I'm not sure though because I didn't take psych, but if you want to make your EE on the astrology-China subject here is an option. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 5 Cardinal rules of the EE (assuming your intention is to do well)1. NEVER start an EE without first reading the EE Guide (you can download this from the Files section)2. ALWAYS start an EE by deciding on your subject area (e.g. History, English, Biology etc.) FIRST3. NEVER start an EE by deciding on your topic first and then trying to fit it into a subject area - THIS WILL NOT WORK4. If you are doing a science-based EE, ALWAYS do your own experiment, research EEs will not do well5. If you do not take the subject you want to do your EE in ALWAYS exercise extreme caution. You are extremely likely not to understand what is required. Especially IB Philosophy and IB Psychology, these are not the same as the colloquial ideas of Philosophy and Psychology.Having followed these cardinal rules, you are unlikely to make any massive essay-destroying errors.

Gaby Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 You could try to focus it in Psychology, something involving the sociocultural influence of astrology in China during a determined period of time. I'm not sure though because I didn't take psych, but if you want to make your EE on the astrology-China subject here is an option. I would be EXTREMELY careful trying to write an EE in Psychology, really. As my teacher says, even she's not quite sure what the guide wants in the Psych essay and advised us, HL Psychology students, STRONGLY against doing our EEs in Psych. So if someone doesn't take Psychology, I wouldn't take the risk of experimenting with their own EE so much, to be honest. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 It has nothing to do with a history ee... or psychology...pick a subject and I'd recommend you move off the astrology thing too. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does astrology, and the dark side of Pisces moon, in particular, play a part in Chinese culture as opposed to foreign influences? Although, I'm afraid that I won't have enough evidence to support my argument. I also do not believe in astrology, but there must be something to it..
