Is this a good title for a thesis?
I've been considering to do my thesis on the subject about how languages affect the way people think.
In the Linguistic Relativity Principle, it says that speakers of different languages will tend to think and behave differently depending on the language they use.
I always believe so and am so interested in knowing it better.
So I decided to the title of my thesis as " The Effects of Language on Logical Thinking in China and the West"
Is this title ok for my thesis? Might it be too narrow or too broad?
Any ideas about how it can be improved?
Your advice will be most welcome and important to me.
Thank you for noticing. :)*so I decided to do my thesis with the title "blah blah blah```“
Sorry!Okay, how's this one now " The effects of language on logical thinking--in comparison with the Chinese and Native English-speakers"?(p.s.:Did I make any grammatical mistake in the subheading?)
Would it sound better with a subheading?:)NONE!!!hahaha, cos he scared the rest of them off.lol

It's a good subject, but I don't think it's really a good idea to compare "China and the West", at least not in the title. The West is not some homogenous place where everybody acts and thinks the same, and the "them and us" attitude displayed in China concerning Westerners could come across as naive and simplistic.
I would go for simply "The effects of language on logical thinking", or if you want to compare, you might compare Asia and the West, rather than China and the West. But be careful not to base your version of the "West" on English only. That's just a small part of what makes the West. In my view, comparing a largely homogenous country like China to the infinitely varied, multicultural and multilinguistic West, would not be a fair or useful comparison.

i guess you should find some "logical" subject and not a "stupid", void and useless subect to be busy with....but as i know you will disregard this message and even feeling i m really stupid and ugly i m feeling really happy right now! Now, allow me a question....when you pour some sugar in your coffee or tea, are you changing intrinsically the qualities of your coffee or tea? Have you ever heard about someone called Wigenstein?....uhmm, the road is long, baby...lucky we wont meet on it!
