Culture contributes to stress because each culture has its own values and norms. Depending on what your culture values, a certain event that is stressful to one culture may be considered to be of lesser importance to another culture. Traditional cultures and Western cultures tend to express their emotions and reactions to stress differently. Minorities in Western society can experience stress influenced by culture if they have difficulty identifying with one or both cultures they are apart of.…

born from their culture. It is the first thing they identify with, the first thing they learn about. It is in the first things they say, in the first things they understand. It is the beginning of a person, it is what shapes them. A person’s culture cultivates them, it shapes their viewpoints of society. It becomes a part of who they are, essentially defining them in the end. A person is a culmination of their cultures,…

teaching someone about your culture and worldview is showing them where you come from and how that has affected you. The three items I would choose to represent these aspects of me would be a lei, a photo of my mother’s house in Laos, and a photograph of Pale Blue Dot. These three items provide a mixture of my personal history as well as an accurate depiction of who I am as a person. The lei represents my upbringing in Hawaii as well as my admiration of the Hawaiian culture. Unfortunately, I…

These “ways of living,” shaped by identity, will be referred to from here on as “cultures.” Human rights are intended to afford protections to the human population as a whole, but because various cultures have additional vulnerabilities, it is often the case that they require additional protections granted to them. Contrarily, at times, beliefs integral to a culture threaten the vulnerabilities of another culture. Culture beliefs and practices can lead to the establishment of rights for a…

The Cultural Authenticity Debate Who is paying attention to children’s literature and the potential negative messages that it could send to multi-cultural children? The debate about cultural authenticity continues, does it matter and if it does, can we solve this diemma so that everyone is satisfied? There does not seem to be a clear-cut method and some say that it would be a crime against art if we did. Should we let educators decide what is appropriate? Should the parents of these…

Ethnic residential concentration is the large migration of one group from a particular culture to another country and residing within the same area, impacting the…

to anyone that may be different than myself, with that being said my church has introduced me to many different people from all different walks of life. My church also has a large congregation of the Asian culture. Through the many social events of my church I have learned a lot about the Asian culture between their family values, foods, clothing, and gender relations. Working hand and hand with them to serve others has taught me about the differences between our ways of life, but most of all…

week’s assignment the thing that I found the most interesting was learning about the history of race. I am a history buff and love learning about it, which is why I received my bachelor’s in History. The things I focused on the most from this week’s assignment was the history of race that we study on the PBS website, I did some further research into and found some interesting articles to further my knowledge. I believe there is so much that plays a role in race, from the first thought of race to…

How do the Westerners perceive the Asian culture? How does an audience viewing a movie made in their own country see the film? And how does cult cinema make an impact in the history of film, bringing in vastly different cultures together to appreciate art. Those are the questions I'll be answering. In this essay let’s talk about the cultural differences and consumption of the movie; Ichi the Killer, directed by Takashi Miike, originally a manga made by Hideo Yamamoto. I will be talking about the…
