The Hardest Culture To Work With Asian People

Decent Essays
I think for me the hardest culture to work with would be the Asian. I know very little about the people. I understand that the Japanese and the Chinese are very different. I have also heard that a lot of the Asian people have prejudices and have been known to discriminate against the people of Korean lineage, I have no idea why. The Asian community consists of many languages Mandarin being the largest, I would guess it is because it is spoken by the people in China, who’s roads are awash with scooters cruising to their job’s, I presume that a compact car isn’t compact enough. I was told recently that there is a fifty lane highway in China that runs into a twenty lane highway that when they combine there is an incredible bottleneck that

    Invisible and Struggling Asian Americans are generally known for their diligent work ethics, their high levels of education and the high paying job that follows from their education. This stereotype is even supported with statistical data, Asian Americans holding a higher median household income, $66,000, compared to the general population’s $49,800 (Pew Research Center). With a rise in Asian immigrants and the Asian American populace as a whole and how they are projected to be the largest minority group by 2055 (Cepeda), the U.S. economy seems to have a bright future ahead. However, the well-known fallacy of stereotypes is that they have their exceptions and also that statistics sometimes can be framed to skew the situation. Hunger and…

    Another stereotype comes into my mind of being an Asian-American is that all Asians are over-achievers and live to please others. In the movie, The Internship, there is a character name Yo-Yo Santos who is an Asian-American teenager that always shows off his intellectual skills. While the others non-Asian characters who in the movies being portray as vibrant, funny and outgoing; Yo-Yo Santos seems to be very underdeveloped and does not have much of a personality. People often think that Asian-Americans generally do not have sociable personalities, but they are mistaken our politeness as a one dimensional traits.…

    Culture is, “the entire way of life of a group of people” (Ferris, Stein, 2014: 77). A sociologist would see this as the large distinction between people and what makes them diverse. The custom’s that people celebrate, their holidays. If someone from the United States was to move to another country, it could shock them with how different some cultures do things compared to the United States. Having a large and vast diversity must include people who have a different culture than you.…

    The term “Asian” was originally used to define and label everyone that was not white, and by definition, the term generalizes people of vastly different backgrounds, histories, languages, and religions all into one incorrect misappropriately defined category. The term Asian itself is referred to as a race, yet a race is associated with biology. If people are of the same race, the may share the same ancestry or have similar physical characteristics, whereas the term ethnicity is used to refer to the culture one associates itself with. In either situation, the use of the term Asian to define one’s race implies that the entire scope of people, who by law, are identified as Asian, all share the same ancestry and physical features, when that is…

    Asian Americans Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority populations in the United States and the number is expected to increase significantly from 18 million in 2010, to 34 million in 2050 (Hastings et al., 2015). Although the number of Asian Americans is constantly growing, research has been limited within the subgroups and only some of the subgroups are being reported. For example, national death registries allow researchers to study population health and look at trends. The problem was that Asian American subgroups were not often studied considering that states do not compile subgroup information on death records. More often than not, subgroups, such as Filipinos, Koreans, Asian Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese are grouped…

I would say my experiences would differ from other people because of my cultures. Specifically during school I would be stereotyped due to my culture.
