They might instead skip around, scanning for pertinent information of interest… I can’t get my students to read whole books anymore…” (318). Students are not focusing on reading a book from beginning to end. Instead, students tend to skim through and miss the important information which is a negative impact on them. Carr agrees that using the Web so often is having a negative effect on him because he is having a harder time focusing and reading articles which are more than a few sentences.

It is still difficult for me to get accustomed to English because there is no sense of superiority or hierarchy when speaking to elders or adolescents. On the other hand, Korean has a set rule of verbal communication where hierarchy and superiority are of most important. Since most Asian counties have long histories, people show respect through their speech by showing politeness. In conversation, there 's a difference between talking with older people and talking with the same age or younger people.

The Chinese were able to quickly think of a way to use the situation to benefit them, which to me took a lot of courage and determination. Reading 200 pages on a fake family history is something that takes great determination, seeing that most people wouldn’t even read 20 pages on their own family history. The steps they were asked during the interrogations were quite ridiculous, “ ‘ They ask you questions like how many steps in your house?’ Quock recalled. ‘Your house has a clock? Where do you sleep at your house?’” (Takaki236).

No Hope: The Pedagogy of becoming Chinese American The United States has a very rich and diverse history, ranging from its sites and many different types of people. One particular race of people, the Chinese, has been a great contribution to U.S economy and cultures. Although today they are well accepted, it wasn’t always this way.

Canada had a very high lack of employment in which the Chinese had good opportunities to get jobs to be able to buy land, grow their own crops to feed their families. In 1858 gold was discovered along the Fraser River in British Columbia. There was a high demand for minors so that encouraged even more Chinese immigrants to come to Canada.

Historical Report on Race, Asian Americans While Asian Americans "only" make up about 5% of the U.S.'s population as of 2008, they are one of the fastest growing racial/ethnic groups (in terms of percentage increase) in the U.S. The Asian American community has received a lot of scrutiny over the years but in many ways, still remains misunderstood.
