Asian Group Values With the presence of such a plethora of ethnicities and cultures that make up the Asian people, Asian American ethnocentrisms may conflict with one another. Consequently, there are two types of value systems among Asians: Traditional and Modern. The common thread that binds all Asian Americans together is their value system rooted in collectivism. Common perceptions and interactions stem from their belief system. Emergent ethnic identity involves the creation of new…

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…

to Western culture, the mindset of “One is more attractive to another one if one is westernized,” is planted and rooted in most of the youth’s brain cell. In contrast to Asian culture which is conservative, Western culture is a more liberal policy towards material and non-material culture such as wearing, thinking, and others. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the writer’s opinion as it is undeniable that young people in general would rather prefer Western culture over Asian culture due to…

Problem Statement In South Asian culture, as in many other cultures, there is a dominance of the masculinity.

The legacy left by ancient Indian tradition served as the basis fororthodox gender roles in South Asia, which in turn contributed to the widespread acceptance of a male dominated society. In ancient India the fundamental rights of…

Southern California consists of a mixture of various cultures such as Latino, Asians, Middle Eastern, etc. As an Asian American who lives in Southern California, experiencing other cultures just from where I live is not a phenomenon. As an Asian American who was not exposed to nature often, outdoor activities become a foreign approach. Camping has been an American trend since the 1960s, but to Southeast Asians, outdoor activities are not considered as a “productive” activity. I immigrated from…

Among the vibrant street culture in the Los Angeles area, taxi dance halls became a popular destination for Filipino men. In these old school taxi dance halls, Filipino workers were able to develop an alternative subculture for themselves. This allowed the Filipino men the opportunity to be desired and even envied. When these men entered the dance halls, they dressed themselves in expensive McIntosh suits. The importance of the McIntosh suit rested in the fact that it was seen as a sign of…

The first consideration is the hierachial family structure that dominates Asian American culture. Because this structure is a reflection of family honor, Sherry believes that Annie’s rape was more a matter of uncontrolled lust rather than a true violation. She even tells Annie that she should have just given in, since she’s engaged to Dr. Simon anyway. Next is the consideration of the collective “saving face” of the family; where success and/or failure of one family member affects the entire…

diplomatic and bloodthirsty, Alexander inspired such loyalty in his men they’d follow him anywhere and, if necessary, die in the process.
