Asian people

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…

Asian is comprised of a large group spanning from Turkey to Japan. Differences of their beliefs and culture depend on the geographic location. East Asia is considered the region with the highest number of aging adults that are prone to pain related to age. Asian culture approaches healing from pain and other ailments with an approach different than Western Medicine. Asians hold the mind, body and soul to high regard with treatment. They use herbal, oils, massage, coining, and acupuncture as…

I have chosen the Japanese for my racial group analysis. I chose them for the sole reason that they are the fewest Asian group in number here in the U.S. The history of Japanese immigrants is not so different from other immigrants such as the Chinese. There are some well known stereotypes and racial slurs about the Japanese that are, in fact, quite absurd. While there aren’t many Japanese Americans, compared to other Asian groups, they still have a large impact in our society. Japan…

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…

Marger begins by emphasizing the history of migration by Asian people into the USA; he notes that there are two distinct parts. The first wave is said to have begun around the middle of the 19th century and was spearheaded by Chinese migrants (Marger 2008a: 248). Their movement reflected the neoclassical theory of migration where people’s movements are dictated by push-pull factors especially on an economic level (Castles and Miller 2003: 22). The United States provided opportunities for…

to gain more knowledge on their cultural background. Once we got off the train, we walked across the streets and through the grand entrance. I expected there to be a bustling area filled with Chinese shops, but it seemed almost the opposite. Looking from the outside in, I saw people of many different ethnicities walking slowly and chatting with friends or family. After immediately walking in I felt out of place because I had no idea where to go or what to do next. We were not sure of which shops…

What is the meaning of success? Success means different things to different people. One person thinks that success is becoming the CEO of a company while another thinks that success is living to ninety years old. In general, however, people achieve success when they accomplish their own life goals. Most people go about their lives making choices and acting in ways which will lead them to success. Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Outliers, believes that choices by people do not influence their…

There are many trials and tribulations that colored people in America have to deal with. These Stereotypes have a drastic affect on both children and adults. What is a stereotype? A stereotype is to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. This concept can do both mental and physical damage to a human being 's psyche. If a person is introduced to stereotypes at a young age, they may have insecurities that will hinder their mental, physical, and…

Many studies on family and race, specifically Asians prove that people’s lives are structured in a certain way and have a clear impact on their life chances. Although these statements are true and relatable on a personal level, some of these facts are beginning to wane away. An example of this would be a quote from Yen-Chun Cheryl Chen and Jui-Chung Allen Li “the father-son axis is fundamental to the family relations in East Asian societies,” (62) this must have been true for past generations…

Introduction to America for East Asians and The Curious Americans Many immigrants from east Asia grew up in an environment with a strong sense of culture pride. Their traditions dates back thousands of years. When they move to the western world, these people often find themselves facing an entirely different culture. While it is important for them to maintain their traditions, it is also crucial for them to adapt to the new environment. People are most likely find two types of Asians in…
