assimilating into American society. The story would demonstrate not only facts, but, arguments and counter-arguments about their difficulty assimilating into American society. The story would focus on analyzing the interactions between western and eastern cultures, giving analytical descriptions of the events that occurred, and the reasons behind the behaviors and choices the characters made. In doing so, I don’t think that we would have been as emotionally invested in this story. It would have…

Nowadays, with research methods, researchers can discover and compare those differences between cultures around the world.

certain stereotype or group. So as I have grown into the woman I am today, I am now satisfied with knowing that I am not wholly Korean, Kenyan, nor American—but I am all of them. In my Korean culture, I’ve learned to be ambitious and the value of education. Korea is my family and my inheritance of a colorful culture.

It is unarguable that racism has improved over the last few decades, nowadays we don’t see all the separations of cultures and colors like we used to see before. Going back a few decades we saw how people where sorted by color, we saw how there were parts of a movie theater that was only for the whites and parts that were only for the blacks.

From a young age we were…
people belong to a culture that distinguishes them from the people that not only immediately surround them, but live vast distances away from them as well. I would like to note that not every culture is a polar opposite from another, some cultures may be very similar in their views and values which can lead to cultural growth or tension between different cultural groups.
