AMERICA’S CULTURE 1 AMERICA’S CULTURE 5 Multicultural Matrix & Analysis AMERICA’S CULTURE What is the group’s history in the United States? What is the group’s population in the United States? What are some attitudes and customs people of this group may practice? What is something you admire about this group’s people, lifestyle, or society? 1. <Group 1>white American This group belongs to the native land of North and South America hence their origin is in USA. They are the majority in the USA and are over 70% of the total population of the United States. This group practices such customs as having the high classes and also prefer more modern fashions of food and clothing. The most admirable practice among this group is more of modern culture practices and they are not following more of traditional practices. 2. Black and African America.

Asian Americans have been economically successful in the United States due to a strong emphasis on education, hard work, and family support. The 2000 U.S. Census allowing respondents to select more than one race reflected a change in acknowledging multiracial identities and attitudes. This has blurred racial lines as mixed-race identities have increased, challenging the traditional single-race approach to diversity. Asian Americans have adapted well to U.S. culture by embracing education and family values emphasized in American society while maintaining aspects of their ancestral cultures, aided by support networks in immigrant communities.

8 Asian Americans Listen to Chapter 8 on MySocLab · 8-1 Identify the role of diversity among Asian Americans. · 8-2 List and describe the characteristics of political activity and pan-Asian identity. · 8-3 Examine and explain the culture of Chinese Americans. · 8-4 Summarize the characteristics of Asian Indians. · 8-5 Explain the four distinct periods of Filipino immigration. · 8-6 Address the current picture of Korean Americans today. · 8-7 Examine the various characteristics of Japanese American identity and explain the consequences of the wartime evacuation. · 8-8 Identify the challenges for Southeast Asian Americans in the United States. · 8-9 Discuss the embodiment of cultural diversity in Hawaii. If the diversity of racial and ethnic groups is not yet apparent in this book, one need only look at the diversity among those collectively labeled Asian Americans. Consider Priscilla Chan, who at the age of 27 in May of 2012 was married and had sushi and Mexican food served at the reception. Both her parents, ethnic Chinese from Vietnam who arrived in the United States via refugee camps in the 1970s, worked such long hours in Boston restaurants that her grandmothers, who spoke no English, raised her. Born in the United States, Priscilla graduated from Harvard majoring in biology and later taught grade school while attending medical school. Of special interest is that she married a non-Asian (Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg) and thus is an example of the 29 percent of recent Asian American newlyweds who marry non-Asians. Then, one could look at football in Texas. Friday night lights is synonymous with Texas high school football, but at one school, many of the players were born on the Pacific island of Tonga. As 6-foot-2, 297-pound Trinity High offensive tackle Uatakini Cocker takes the line, he screams, “Mate ma’a Tonga,” which means “I will die for Tonga.” He is one of sixteen Tongan Americans playing for the school. The school has won the state football championship three of the last six years and was runner-up in another year. Trinity is located in Euless, which adjoins the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, where Tongans in the early 1970s first started working. The success among some of these first immigrants initiated a pattern of chain immigration, whereby Tongan immigrants sponsor later immigrants. Euless boasts about 4,000 people either born in Tonga or their descendants. Los Angeles’s Little Tokyo is a happening place. Debbie Hazama, 35, a homemaker with three children, drove with her husband from the suburbs because not many Japanese Americans live where she does and she wants her children “to stay connected.” Little Tokyo threw a day-long party of Asian hip-hop along with traditional martial arts demonstrations to gather Japanese Americans scattered across Southern California. During one festival, a 24-year-old South Pasadena woman grabbed a heavy mallet and took a swing at a drum, just as she had practiced for months. Nicole Miyako Cherr.

Model Minority Stereotype | 1 9 7 slurs and relentless bullying and attacks by his unit members before his death. Another soldier, Harry Lew, committed suicide after suffering threats and brutal hazing at the hands of his fellow soldiers. These and similar incidents serve to illustrate the ongoing prejudice that affects Asian Americans. The experiences of Asian Americans in the military vary. Some have come forward to express that Asian Americans often en- dure various types of harassment, from milder forms of racial stereotyping to hazing. Others, however, have suffered none. But the incidents described raised a large public outcry and led to issues of racism in the military being highlighted. Conclusion Asian Americans have fought with great distinc- tion in many U.S. wars since the early 19th century. However, Asian Americans have traditionally repre- sented the lowest number of volunteers of any ethnic group in the country. Today, in some Califor- nia areas such as the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County, numbers for Asian American recruited soldiers have risen to almost double their representation in the general population. In 2010, the proportion of enlisted soldiers grew to nearly double that of the previous year. Reportedly, however, Asian Americans do not serve often in the front lines. Most Asian Americans serve in some area of technical support. In some cases, reportedly, Asian Americans seek noncombat jobs due to cultural or religious issues and others because they tend to be more academically inclined and seek training that may be useful in careers beyond the military. The role played by Asian Americans in the U.S. military and their distinguished military service have highlighted their contributions as American citizens. Consequently, this has helped dispel much of the stereotyping traditionally disseminated about people of Asian descent. This has contributed, some argue, to open doors for Asian Americans in public service arenas, such as judicial courts and the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. For example, Dalip Singh Saund, an Indian Asian Ameri- can born in Punjab, in 1957 became the first Asian American elected to Congress and served until 1973. He had become a U.S. citizen in 1946. Saund was the first Indian American to be elected to Congress and was re-elected twice. Daniel K. Inouye, from Hawaii, became the highest-ranking Asian American politi- cian in the history of the United States. Inouye was a veteran who had fought in World War II as a member of the renowned 442nd Infantry Regiment and received many military medals as well as the Con- gressional Medal of Honor. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1959 and to the U.S. Senate in 1962. From 2010, he served as the senate’s president pro tempore until his death in 2012. The following year he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Trudy Mercadal See A ...

The document discusses diversity in the United States. It notes that minority populations are expected to become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics growing the fastest. There have historically been challenges to diversity from European colonists not respecting Native Americans. However, diversity provides benefits like improved business and innovation. The media both supports diversity through educational content and shows prejudice at times in its coverage of issues. Overall, as diversity increases, working together across racial and ethnic groups will be important for community success.

This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 10 of Essentials of Sociology regarding ethnicity and race. It defines ethnicity as referring to the distinct cultural norms of a social group, including shared history, religion, ancestry, language, and sense of destiny. Race is defined as an externally imposed system of social categorization based on physical characteristics. Racialization is the actual imposition of a racial schema on a society. Racism involves prejudice and discrimination based on physical differences. The document then discusses models of ethnic coexistence in the US, global migration trends, and how to see racial and ethnic inequality in areas like education, income, and wealth.

Week 3 Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian American Rambaut notes that diversity is the hallmark of Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian refugees coming to the United States. How are the groups similar or different from one another? What factors shaped the patterns of settlement and secondary migration that later emerged? The influx of thousands of immigrants from Southeast Asia during the mid to late 1970’s noticeable a new era in immigration to the United States because of multiple aspects. One of the characteristics that defined this new era was the region from which these new immigrants were coming. A second mannerism of this new era was that the arrival of these immigrants created a strong, negative reaction among Americans against them. Furthermore, the arrival of these immigrants led to new legislation regarding their status. The first major influx of Cambodian immigrants who began arriving in the United States during the late 1970’s was part of a large group of refugees from Southeast Asia fleeing political instability in their homelands. As the Indochina War, the refugee shares a common history and experience the face in War. However, “they have different social back grounds, language, cultural, and often adversarial histories, and reflect different patterns of settlement and adaption in America” (pg.178). They range from member of the elites of former back government to Vietnamese and Chinese “boat people” survivors of the killing field of Cambodia in the late 1970s, and farmer from the highlands of northern Laos” (pg.178). Each of these ethnic group there are major different in social class. The war produced massive refugee population in United State. According to the text during the war “the first refugee arrives in U.S was Vietnamese immigration in 1952, then Cambodian immigrant arrived in 1953 Laotian in 1959”. (pg. 181). Most of the refugee are university students. The refugee was primarily placed in separate zip code in different state and half of the refugee are send to the state of their choice. Like other immigrants from Southeast Asia, Cambodian immigrants have inclined to work mostly in low-wage jobs. Many have looked for work similar to what they did in Cambodia, but some who had professional training have been unable to find corresponding employment in the United States. Cambodian Americans have generally had a difficult time economically in the United States. Unemployment among them is high. Many of them have lived in poverty and been dependent on government assistance · In the chapter “Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian Americans” Ruben G. Rumbaut discusses the immigration and settlement of refugees and immigrants from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Rumbaut highlights the very different experiences these groups of people went through and currently go through compared to other Asian American groups. One main driving factor that effected their settlement and adaptation was the effect that the Vietnam Wa.

The document discusses several sociological questions about different aspects of American culture and society. It asks why suicide bombing occurs in some Islamic extremist cultures, why racism exists in some American subcultures, and why certain tribes deform body features to be considered beautiful. It also questions Americans' overconsumption of resources, prevalence of gun ownership, focus on individualism over community, effects of dual-income families, prioritization of financial gain, increase in fast food consumption, stigmatization of homeless people, and impacts of rising drug use.

Racism in the United States has historically manifested against African Americans, Asians, Italians, Poles, Native Americans, Latinos and other immigrant groups. Most Americans believe that other religions besides Christianity can lead to salvation, including Hinduism and Islam. The traditional food in the United States is very varied due to its history as a country of immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa and elsewhere. Prior to higher education, American students attend elementary and secondary school for a total of 12 years.

Sociology SEVENTEENTH EDITION Chapter 15 Race and Ethnicity The Power of Society Is our choice to cast a vote for a particular candidate a purely “personal” decision? In the 2016 presidential election, 58 percent of non-Hispanic white people voted for Donald Trump. If only white people had voted, the election would have been a Republican landslide. But Hillary Clinton received overwhelming support from Asian Americans (65 percent), Hispanic Americans (66 percent), and especially African Americans (88 percent). If only these categories of the population had voted, the election would have been a Democratic landslide of historic proportion. The political choices people make when they vote in elections are not simply personal preferences, but they also reflect race, ethnicity, and other societal factors. Source: Center for American Women and Politics (2016). 2 The Social Meaning of Race and Ethnicity (1 of 4) 15.1 Explain the social construction of race and ethnicity. Race Socially constructed category of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important Meanings and importance of race vary across time and place. No society contains biologically “pure” people. There is more genetic variation within each racial category than between categories. 3 Figure 15–1 The Coming Minority Majority According to projections from the Census Bureau, the United States will have a minority majority in the year 2044, less than thirty years from now. By that time, as the figure shows, the white, non-Hispanic population will actually decline, as the number of Asian Americans, African Americans, and especially Hispanic Americans increases. What changes do you expect this trend will bring to the United States? Source: U.S. Census Bureau (2014). 4 National Map 15–1 Where the Minority Majority Already Exists Racial and ethnic minorities are now a majority of the population in four states—Hawaii, California, New Mexico, and Texas—as well as in the District of Columbia. At the other extreme, Vermont and Maine have the smallest share (about 6 percent) of minorities. Why do you think states with high minority populations are located in the South and Southwest? Source: U.S. Census Bureau (2016). 5 Figure 15–2 Bogardus Social Distance Research The social distance scale is a good way to measure prejudice. Part (a) illustrates the complete social distance scale, from least social distance at the far left to greatest social distance at the far right. Part (c) presents the overall mean score in specific years (the average of the scores received by all racial and ethnic categories). These scores have fallen from 2.14 in 1925 to 1.44 in 2001, showing that students express less social distance toward minorities today than they did in the past. Part (d) shows the range of averages, the difference between the highest and lowest scores in given years (in 2011, for instance, it was 1.08, the difference between.

Prejudice and Ethnocentrism.docx

While the United States offers opportunities for upward mobility, it receives criticism for its past treatment of Native Americans, Chinese, African Americans, and Latinos. Ethnocentrism, stereotyping, and racial prejudice have been persistent issues throughout American history and continue to subject some ethnic and racial groups to prejudice today. Solutions to overcoming racial prejudice and ethnocentrism in society require acknowledging past harms and promoting tolerance of all people.
