...States for more than a century. One of the largest groups among these immigrants consists of Arab immigrants from more than twenty countries. By the 1920s, there were about 200,000 Arab Americans, mostly Christians. They and their descendants make up a substantial proportion of today’s Arab American population. The rest of this group encompasses many recent immigrants from Arab countries, most of whose religious background is Muslim. These immigrants and their descendants have helped make Islam the second largest U.S. religion. Many immigrants have fled wars in the Middle East. Most have a strong sense of Arab origins and an inclination to be critical of certain U.S. government policies in the Middle East. Asian Americans: Since the 1980s, Filipinos, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Asian Indians have been among the fastest-growing U.S. immigrant groups. For key periods from 1820 to the present. Relatively few Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, or Asian Indians immigrated to the U.S. mainland before the 1960s. Thereafter, immigration increased dramatically. More than 4 million immigrants have come since 1980. Most Asian Indians have arrived in the U.S. since the 1960s. In contrast, Chinese immigration has involved two major periods. The first began about 1850 and lasted until 1882, the year of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited direct immigration from China. Large-scale immigration did not resume until the immigration reforms in 1965. Today, the largest Asian-Pacific American...

...ourselves as Korean-Americans, American-Koreans, or simply Americans. While we both believe the identities that represent us is a matter of personal choice, my girlfriend used to see herself as an American first Korean second, which amusingly reminded me of the Louisianan Filipinos from My America…or Honk If You Love Buddha, whereas I wholly saw myself as Korean-American, a homogenous blend of two cultures. She explained to me while growing up in Ohio, Asians, as with other ethnic groups, were inescapably compared to whites and had to embrace their cultural norms or risk becoming an outcast. To form an identity that deviated from being “American” was to create a division, which led to ignorance, hatred, and even conflict. Tiffany’s childhood situation resonated with Ichiro Yamada’s situation where Japanese-Americans were viewed as irrevocably alien and antagonistic post-WWII due to their hyphenated identity. However, Ichiro did not have the same freedom to adopt a new status because he was stripped of his birthright as an American, which led him to embark on a quest for self-identity in a fragmented society in the form of a bildungsroman. Tiffany asks why I choose not to associate myself as solely American because unlike her, I am an American citizen and have been immersed in its culture since birth. While I do consider myself an American, my mother’s indoctrination of having Korean pride within me has had a significant impact on why I feel obliged to hand onto my Korean culture....

The case has a difficulty level of three or four. The case is designed to be taught in 1 – 2 class hours.

...Life of Filipinos Immigrants and their American dreams Filipino Americans are now the second largest group of Asian Americans as well as the second largest immigrant group in the United States. According to the U.S. census, there are approximately 9 million people living in America who are of Asian descent. Twenty-three percent of that are of Chinese ancestry; 20% are Filipino; 12% are Asian Indian; and Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese each share about 10%. They are neither alien nor citizen, and they are US “national”. Similar to other Asian groups, they were hired as cheaper labors. It is never be easy to leave the home country and migrant to another country. Sometimes life can be difficult for many immigrants, and life can not be impossible, especially those who don’t speak broken English and people of color. Pinoys struggled a lot and could not adjust themselves to the mainstream culture therefore; they experienced a lot of discrimination in the United States. They could not marry to a White girl, or they could not own properties. Their wages were extreme low and work longer hours in a day in the field, and their never gain respect from white people. Their lives represent the diversity of the immigrant experience and their narratives are a way to understand ethnical identity and Filipino Americans history. What are the impacts of the US colonization on Pilipino? One of the major impacts was education. Education was one of the best ways to pacify the Filipinos. US introduced...

...CHARACTERISTICS OF EDITORIAL WRITING An editorial is an article that presents the newspaper's opinion on an issue. It reflects the majority vote of the editorial board, the governing body of the newspaper made up of editors and business managers. It is usually unsigned. Much in the same manner of a lawyer, editorial writers build on an argument and try to persuade readers to think the same way they do. Editorials are meant to influence public opinion, promote critical thinking, and sometimes cause people to take action on an issue. In essence, an editorial is an opinionated news story. Editorials have: 1. Introduction, body and conclusion like other news stories 2. An objective explanation of the issue, especially complex issues 3. A timely news angle 4. Opinions from the opposing viewpoint that refute directly the same issues the writer addresses 5. The opinions of the writer delivered in a professional manner. Good editorials engage issues, not personalities and refrain from name-calling or other petty tactics of persuasion. 6. Alternative solutions to the problem or issue being criticized. Anyone can gripe about a problem, but a good editorial should take a pro-active approach to making the situation better by using constructive criticism and giving solutions. 7. A solid and concise conclusion that powerfully summarizes the writer's opinion. Give it some punch. Four Types of Editorials Will: 1. Explain or interpret: Editors often use these editorials...

...The Filipino Diaspora: Why We Seek Greener Pastures “And all the earth shall be filled with thee, and all the sea...” That statement above – addressed to the Jews – is contained in the third book of the Sibylline Oracles. It may have been slightly exaggerated when it came out sometime in the 2nd century B.C., but that prophecy uncannily came true the following century. Witnesses such as Seneca, Philo, and Greek geographer Strabo – the last believed to have remarked that one can’t go anywhere without encountering a Jew – confirmed that a massive Jewish diaspora did take place in a number of cities in the Roman Empire. Today, it can be said that no ethnic group suits that statement better than Filipinos. On whatever land or sea it may be, in any of the four corners of the world, there’s sure to be a Filipino. What makes them want to leave their homeland with such dogged persistence? Numbers Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) can be found from Norway to Nigeria. Each Sunday, they are found milling around Victoria Park in Hong Kong and the cobbled streets of Rome. As of 2009, there are about 8.6 million overseas Filipinos, plus about 2 million more who are undocumented. These include people of Filipino ancestry who are citizens of other countries and Filipino citizens working abroad on a temporary basis. Considering that we are a nation of about 100 million people, these figures represent a substantial percentage which cannot simply be ignored. The burning question ...

...Introduction To date, World War II was the world’s worst event in human history. Colonisation is one of the reasons as to why World War II was the most horrific. Many Asian nations such as Korea, Vietnam and the part of China and so on were colonised by the European powers and Japan during World War II. And it had been raging for more than four years. Although several Asian nations were decolonised by the European powers and Japan after World War II, the wounds of the war were too serious; millions of people died and women raped and killed. Survived people still have suffered permanent injury from disease, psychological trauma of the war and social ostracism. Now, today’s Asian cinemas have been portrayed as traumatic memories of military terror to remind the history. This essay shed light on the significance of trauma in both films; The Flowers of War and The White Silk Dress in connection with the history of Korea. The Flowers of War In 1937, Nanking (today more commonly called Nanjing) Massacre was enforced for 6 weeks by Japanese troops. Millions of Chinese people cruelly died regardless of age or sex. It is also called as The Rape of Nanking, because the Japanese troops raped and killed a great number of Chinese women (Chambers 2010). The Chinese movie, the Flowers of War shows the bald historical fact of Nanjing Massacre in 1937. It is a remake of the Chinese novella, 13 Flowers of Nanjing. Then China’s Nationalist party developed friendly relations with the Nazi Germany...

...foreign policy and diplomacy which is being exercised through the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the entire Foreign Service. Every Philippine President has their own diplomatic agenda that they pursued during their term in office. The Philippines was granted “independence” in 1946, right after the Second World War, the Philippines soon enters into diplomatic relations. Being the head of a new state born after the destructive war, then President Manuel Roxas faced tremendous tasks in diplomacy. There is the challenge of forming relations with other states and making them recognize the independence of the Philippines. One important achievement of this period is the involvement and participation of the Philippines in the formation and operation of the United Nations. The Philippines, as a former American colony, depended highly on the United States for aids and assistance in order to facilitate reconstruction and development. Maintaining a “friendly” relationship with United States has been the focus of the diplomatic agenda which was manifested with the “Parity Rights” and the trials of Filipinos who were accused of collaboration with the Japanese during the war. This...

...HUMANITIES 1 (RESEARCH PAPER) HISTORY OF PAINTINGS AND ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ADRIAN M SITCHON PROF. PEREZ 4TH YEAR/BS.HRM/NS (SUBMITTED BY) TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION HISTORY BODY * EASTERN PAINTING * WESTERN PAINTING * 20th-CENTURY MODERN * AND CONTEMPORARY DEFINITION OF TERMS * FAMOUS PAINTERS * AND BIOGRAPHY * Paintings of famous painters CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATION REFERENCE INTRODUCTION: Painting can be done in a variety of media. For example, Oils, Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache and Tempera. Paints are made from a pigment, and a binder. Binder is relatively cheap, while pigment is much more expensive. Pigments are a colored powder, made from organic or inorganic materials. (This is different than a colorant, which dyes or stains a color.) All paints use the same basic pigments, but the binder changes. The binder for acrylics dries quickly and the paint is more like a plastic than oils which have an oil based binder and dry slowly. Oil Paints are often built up in layers or glazes. The other paints---Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache, and Tempera---are water-based, meaning the paint can be diluted with water and clean-up can be done with soap and water. Oil paints, on the other hand, require paint thinner to clean brushes. The number and variety of painting techniques is endless. Besides quality of paint, factors affecting color quality include: paint opacity, glossiness of painting surface...

...present day, Asian American women have a representation in the most prestigious professional and managerial jobs. Today, Asians are looked at as a "model minority" whose growing mobility stands as an illustration for other racial-ethnic groups (Amott & Matthaei, 1996). The first Asian immigrants arrived in the United States from China, with the first huge wave coming in the mid-19th century. As with other cultural minorities, the Chinese and later the Japanese, Asian Indians, Filipinos, Koreans, and a host of other groups immigrated to the United States to serve mainly as a source of cheap labor. These migration trends were related to bigger worldwide transformations started by Euro-American colonialism and industrial capitalism. By the start of the Great Depression, these groups formed the prevalent Asian populations in the United States. According to United States census data and other available reports, there were close to 56,000 Filipinos, 140,000 Japanese, 75,000 Chinese several thousand Koreans and Asian Indians and living in America in 1930, most living on the West Coast (Amott & Matthaei, 1996). The Asian populace in the United States numbered over 6.5 million in 1988. That is about three percent of the entire U.S. population. It includes people whose cultural roots are in Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Laos, China, Cambodia, the Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh etc. A large number of the first Asian women to come to the United States in the...

...English Dictionary , 2012). The history of settlement in the United States is inseparable from that of immigration. The real national minorities are indigenous (Amerindian, Inuit and Aleut). Since the arrival of European settlers in the sixteenth century, more than 50 million immigrants settled in the United States. Vast majority of immigrants came from Europe. First Anglo-Saxon immigration widened in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the countries of Mediterranean Europe (especially Italy) and Central Europe. More than 23 million immigrants streamed between 1880 and 1920. A new form of immigration developed after the Second World War. It was mostly political refugees from Eastern Europe, and anti-Castro Cubans. Today, immigration comes mainly from third world countries: first Hispanics (mostly Mexicans) and Asians (Koreans, Filipinos, Vietnamese, etc.). In the 1990s, a new wave of migration has evolved from the former communist countries of Europe. Moreover, illegal immigration has probably become more important than legal immigration. It has increased since 1990 due to the economic crisis in Latin America, as...
