Chinese Culture: Beliefs, Customs, Ethnocentrism, Subcultures, Social Change and the Effect of New Technology
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Chinese culture and social change. China is well known for its centuries of traditional values, customs and beliefs. These beliefs are deeply linked with the language, religions and collective values which have always been the center of traditional festivals, customs and everyday life of man as a collective in harmony with nature. Despite the strong Chinese cultural traditions, the last century has seen a great deal of social change in China. Most recently, increased involvement in the global economic market has led to a high level of prosperity in China which is unfortunately not shared by all. Global influences have also led to the increased interest in science and technology; factors which have also affected social change and the cultural values of the population.

Chinese Heritage And Higher Education
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Taking example from Michael Ondaatje's "Running in the Family," the student is able to reflect upon one's own Chinese heritage and openly relate to the inherent struggles associated with progress and modernization. That the Chinese legacy is one of hard work and loyal dedication to one's homeland amidst economic strife, it is not surprising to find that the student's parents had little time raise their child while they ran the family business, finding it necessary to send the student to America in search of a better life through higher education. To the Chinese, a solid education is tantamount to future economic success. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Chinese Immigration
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. During the period of Chinese immigration to the United States, the historical construction of the "Oriental" began as an alien image who threatened "real" Americans. The three images of the Chinese developed: "pollutant" (a racialized alien who spoiled the image of California as a free white republic, "coolie" (unfree, servile labor that threatened the working class) and "deviant" (Chinese women as prostitute and Chinese men as domestics were sexual threats undermining the American ideal of the cult of domesticity and the beliefs against racial mixing). Examining the specific political, economic, social and legal treatment the Chinese immigrants received, one might readily surmise that the coolie image contributed most to that treatment and eventual exclusion of the Chinese.
