culture in architecture is being eroded by modernity of the present architecture in China. Analyze the causes and effects of this problem and possible solutions. In China, urbanization is at dramatic pace but in static patterns. This leads to the Chinese cities losing their own styles, and being built in the static architecture modes which are introduced from developed countries. Moreover, the traditional architecture cultures are being eroded by the static modern architecture patterns. Some of them
Two Kinds is a story about mother-daughter relationship Suyuan and Jing-mei. Suyuan believed that America is where her dreams will be fulfilled. She thought that her daughter, Jing-mei, would be the one to realize them. Jing-mei, on the other hand, was a confused child at first. She was led to believe that she can be someone. At first, she followed her mother, but when she felt that her mother was already forcing her and stealing her youth, she told herself that it was the end. The story is a

to unequal trade agreements and the overflowing of the African markets with Chinese goods. While case studies of Zimbabwe and South Africa should not be used to get a general idea for the whole African country, I believe this shows the impacts of such partnership can have. Currently, South Africa is a richer and more politically stable country than Zimbabwe, I would have thought the pattern and the effects of the Chinese investments in that country would be different. However, I have found similar
must “understand and reconnect with our stories, the stories of the ancestors . . . to build our identities”. For one, to maintain a firm identity, elderly characters often implement Chinese traditions to avoid younger generations veering toward different traditions, such as the Western culture. As well, the Chinese-Canadians of the novel sustain a superior identity because of their own cultural village in Vancouver, known as Chinatown, to implement firm beliefs, heritage, and pride. Thus in Wayson

The purpose of this paper is to explicate how our cultures have influenced us as individuals regarding perspectives, abilities, and qualities compared to how Asian principles have shaped the perspectives of their respective Chinese individuals. In completion of doing so, I plan to address how Americans can benefit by
“纸包不住火” [zhǐ bāo bú zhù huǒ] is a well known Chinese idiom used to express the inevitable revelation of the truth. The phrase literally translated to English means “paper cannot wrap fire.” This inescapable reality is demonstrated in A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. The drama encompasses around a vulnerable woman in her mid-20s struggling to escape her haunting past. Her name, Blanche DuBois, means “white wood.” Ironically, she is anything but what her name suggests. Blanche is past
marriage between a man and a woman and how marriage is differently defined between the American and Chinese cultures. This paper will discuss the cultural differences found between the American and Chinese culture with emphasis on age and mate-selection. The cultural differences between American and Chinese culture related to marriage practices shows that Americans value individualism and Chinese historically value collectivism. The age of consent varies among cultures. In the American culture
The first type of rebellion identified by the respondents concerned romantic relationships. Marriage has always been seen as business between two families in Chinese traditions (Watson & Ebrey, 1991). It is not a bond forged just by the individuals who exchange vows; rather, it is an interfamilial matter (Pimentel, 2000). The joining of two families brings benefits in terms of advancing in the social ladder, especially in more historical times (Watson & Ebrey, 1991). This is depicted in the myth
Eddie Huang, a celebrity chef, created this series about his experiences as a child of Taiwanese immigrants during the 1990s. It is an all-Asian-American family sitcom since the ill-fated All American Girl starring Margaret Cho filmed twenty years ago. The Asian-American activists feared that if there is not enough audience watching Fresh Off the Boat, it might take ABC network another twenty years before they would attempt another Asian-American TV show.

over a period of six weeks. This event in history was one of the most horrendous and also an event that is rarely talked about or taught in school. This part of history was known as the Second Sino- Japanese war. The Japanese had a contempt for the Chinese people, thinking that they were the lowest race on the planet. China had a benefit by being a larger country and because of that Japan always had something to fear. This war was triggered by many aspects, but one important one was the fact that China
The book I read is “The joy luck club”. It’s a novel written by Amy Tan, a Chinese American women, who wrote the book partly inspired by her own relationship to her mother. It traces the stories of four mothers who emigrate from China and their four very Americanized daughters. The main question raises from the story is the conflict between these mother-daughter pairs due to cultural differences, language barriers and generation gaps which lead to misunderstandings and communication problems.

China, examinations sometimes even become the only measurement of one’s success. Facing the population explosion, society as many people recognize may judge people’s abilities more important than purely store of knowledge. But again considering both Chinese students currently do very well under such the education system and China has its own dilemmas which include shocking population and long history, then whether such examination

This theme is important because it compares and contrasts the tactics of Chinese mothers to Western mothers to strive for their children to be successful.

chronicles the sequence of events between the arrivals of the first Chinese indentured laborers in the 1840s to the passage of the White Australia Policy in 1901, using a critical eye to view the arguments brought against the Chinese by the European diggers, labor union leaders, popular press, and politicians. Based on the events of the time and the context they occurred within, this paper argues that the assertions against the Chinese were concurrently economically and racially grounded. Australians
