Kieu Tran's Comprehensive Diction Summary

242 Words1 Page

Kieu Tran’s comprehensive diction produces a clear distinction between American and Asian culture with examples of “physical punishment in Asian traditions is not considered child abuse” and “in America, there is no way that Asian parents can physically punish their children, if their children perform badly.” Kieu Tran touches on the ideas that America relies heavily on the thought of equality between any person, whether it is a minor or an adult, and the effects it has on Asian immigrant families, especially from Vietnam. In America, beating a child for whatever reason is automatically classified as child abuse, and it can lead to days in jail, like what happened to Mr. Ma and his daughter. Mr. Ma struck his daughter twice, which led to him

    The writer and teacher, Lindsay Rosasco, creates strong diction through the use of informal word choice. Her diction style relates to her audience, who are teenagers in high school.

  • Summary Of Camp When I See One By Satsuki Ina

    1009 Words  | 5 Pages

    After describing her mother’s life in multiple internment camps and the corresponding lifelong PTSD her mother suffered from, Ina queries “I wonder how many lives, just like my mother’s, the U.S. government is needlessly and cruelly damaging today for its ill-advised “family detention” program.” The author makes sure her point -the detention center is a modern internment camp- is clear by her persistent use of adjectives such as “cruelly” and “damaging” as well as using phrases like “just like my mother's.” I agree with Ina’s point; however, Ina alienates her readers by demonizing the U.S. government. While the U.S. government is the controlling force of family detention facilities, and it is important to point out that America is repeating the mistakes made in World War Two, Ina should focus on the connections between Japanese internment camps and the facility, or the horrors of the facility, rather than who is to

  • My Capstone Project On What Is Asian Americans As A Model Minority

    671 Words  | 3 Pages

    My Capstone project is a website that describes how Asian Americans are portrayed as a model minority.

My project is divided into three sections that will explain what a model minority is and the effects of the label. The first section provides a definition and significance of being a model minority. The second section describes discrimination of Asian Americans in the past that helps to give the context for the model minority title.

    The family in this book struggles trying to live everyday life after the traumatic events that took place within the internment camps that changed their lives because of the horrible conditions within them. This societal conflict reveals that many people would rather turn a blind eye or ignore the cruelty that is going on around them than treat everyone equally. In stories and in real life, people tend turn their head away from the suffering that is right in front of them, either because they refuse to believe it is happening or they are too prideful to do anything about it. Taking pride in one’s nation can be good, but it can also blur the lines between equality and ignorance of the happenings around

  • China Doll Imperialism

    945 Words  | 4 Pages

    Frank Borzage’s 1958 film China Doll: Time is a Memory details a redemption story of an alcoholic American pilot, Captain Cliff Brandon, during his time fighting the Japanese in China in WWII. The plot centers around his romance with Chinese native Shu-Jen-- their meet-cute being when he accidentally purchases her from her destitute father in a drunken stupor. After employing her as a housekeeper, he falls in love with, and consequently, impregnates her before both die when their military base is attacked. I argue that the popular Hollywood film China Doll reveals the ways in which war as a form of sexual imperialism contributed to an American imagination of Asia as a land of upset sexual morals in need of white saviorism.

    The Woman Warrior is a “memoir of a girlhood among ghosts” in which Maxine Hong Kingston recounts her experiences as a second generation immigrant. She tells the story of her childhood by intertwining Chinese talk-story and personal experience, filling in the gaps in her memory with assumptions. The Woman Warrior dismantles the archetype of the typical mother-daughter relationship by suggesting that diaspora redefines archetypes by combining conflicting societal norms. A mother’s typical role in a mother-daughter relationship is one of guidance and leadership. Parents are responsible for teaching a child right from wrong and good from evil.

    With this, it is surprising to note that despite of the several methods teachers can use to lessen or control misbehaviors of children, some teachers and countries still adapt this approach in modifying challenging behaviors of children. A depressing truth shows that “Physical abuse can also be a result of parental and/or school discipline in which a child is punished by beating or other forms of corporal punishment. It should be noted, however, that there are large cultural differences in the interpretation of corporal punishment as abuse.” Many Western countries classify corporal punishment of any kind as physical abuse, although this is not true for the US or Canada. However, according to CNN.com 31 nations fully ban corporal punishment.

  • Cultural Differences In Social Work Research

    598 Words  | 3 Pages

    New cultural environments reflecting new and inconsistent values and practices from their traditional ways in their country of origin will result in different acculturation rates in parents compared to children (Renazaho & Vignjevic, 2011). Due to the lack of cultural competence parents can also run into issues within the system. If it is customary to hit their children when they have done something wrong, they may not understand that that is unacceptable in the United States. If someone were to witness this event they may report it and child protective services could get involved. Many refugee families come into contact with child protection systems before they have the chance to learn new parenting styles (Lewig, Arney, & Salveron,
