Proboscidea. Three species are currently recognized. These three species are the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. All elephants have the same distinctive features which are long trunks, sharp tusks, large ear flaps, and pillar-like legs, but most people don’t notice the differences between them. Although the Asian and African elephants are very similar, they have very distinctive differences. There are several distinguishable differences between these two

It also has the ability to change the attitude of one person towards another class of people and stereotype them in positive, but mostly negative ways. One population that has played victim to the repercussions of the mass media is Asian Americans, who have been oppressed and deemed a minority by Americans. The media’s portrayal of Asian Americans has had detrimental effects on one’s

My medium will be text. I will visit the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco on a Sunday and ask twenty random visitors several questions about their Asian-American identity (if they are Asian-American) and attitudes towards Asian-Americans. Before I begin the conversation, I will give a brief background about what we’ve been discussing in class. I will then ask them what prompted them to come to the museum, what connections they have with Asian or Asian-American culture, how often they think about

If you look back in history the Asians worked as slaves, and laborers and became targets of discrimination by the Americans. However, through persistence and self-determination, they have succeeded in turning tables to become the most successful group in the American society. Hard work through education, along with good social and moral behavior is part of the Asian’s philosophy. Currently they are the highest income generators and rapid growing ethnic group in the United States (Pew Social & Demographic

Asian parents: the concept brings lots of assumptions and stereotypical ideas to people. Asian parents are scary. Asian parents are strict. Asian parents raise the perfect A+ children who excel in anything and everything. True but not quite true.

Historically and even today, Asian - even

and labels placed on Asians and Asian-Americans. This is also true vice versa. Most stereotypes originate from media. In Hollywood, Asians are usually portrayed as the nerdy or geeky friends. They are also mostly casted as minor roles like being extras. Asians are also underrepresented in media, like Hollywood. Even in movies that are of Asian origin, there are very little Asians who are part of the main cast. For example, in Kubo and the Two Strings, there is only one Asian cast member in the movie

The other children calling them they are smart type is sometimes hurtful and its making like competing or something like that. Asian are smart but. When Asian go to a different

In my second week of Asian American Studies, I got to learn about how the reality of Asian Americans being in poverty level are often overlooked by popular myths about how Asian Americans are best educated, high income, and very successful. The common theme through all the readings in class is that Asians are commonly discriminated as one monolithic group and are often judged by their race and culture. In fact, I used to face such discrimination during my childhood from other kids assuming I am Chinese

topic on Korean/Asian actors in Hollywood film. I chose this topic because I was also interested in what patterns did Hollywood have for Asian/Korean actors. Before initiating my analysis, I had known of the stereotypes produced in film. However, I wanted to know more about the actors and why were they picked for their respective roles. The first time a Korean appeared in a film was in 1934 (with Philip Ahn). This was great given that Asian roles were very scarce at the time. Many people wouldn't know

Gambling has made immense impacts on the everyday lives of a countless amount of people. Somehow this western pastime has integrated and almost taken control of the Asian and American Asian communities. The gambling issue within the Asian culture has affected families, and individuals in such drastic ways. Within the last few years we have seen an immense outburst of gambling in Macau, which is now the gambling capital of the world. Along with the recent outburst of gambling in Macau we find
