The first blog of research paper(Haiou Chu)

With the progress of human civilization, the statuses of women in society are higher and higher. In the modern society, a woman can do almost things which man is capable to do. In my research paper, I want to talk about why women can get their rights what are women cannot get in the past. I want to compare the women between past and now. From the situation of family, education, career, society and other aspects can evidence that women get more rights. I would like to focus on discuss women's rights in Asia, because a few years ago, the position of women in many countries of Asia is very low. Even now, many women have to be housewives after they are married. I want to through the research paper, people can pay more attention that let Asian women get more equal situation.

"The Achievement of Desire" (WooHyun Kim)

Richard Rodriguez's article talks about the alienation from his family his education brought him. He describes how in his childhood he was a 'scholarship student', a term to describe children who come from working class backgrounds but excel in the classroom. These children tend to have to live two lives, one at home where they start to grow apart from their parents as they surpass them intellectually, and one at school where they cling to the teacher for encouragement and guidance. The family divide that forms serves as a motivation to succeed, but also an emotional pain that carries on to college and beyond.

Had a great time with my friends!


Yesterday night, I went to the nice Asian restaurant with two American girls and one Asian boy for celerbrating my birthday. Actually, my birthday is march 15th. But unfortunatelly, I have three tests at next week, so we decided to go there at saturday. One of my friend who is Kristine Kook drove to us to get there and it was the first time to visit there to me. That resturant was kind of Asian fusion style one. So we could taste a lot of kinds food. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean food too. Suprisingly, two of my american friends enjoyed Asian food a lot. I was so glad about that, and I also enjoyed a lot and all of foods were so mad tastey!!


If time allows, I want to take you guys to this Asian resturant. Unfortunatelly, I forgot this resturant's name! Monday is comming, hopely this week will be meaningful to you guys!

"Reality TV : Supprising Throwback To The Past" (WooHyun Kim)

This article tells about how the American media can sell marriage and love. They are using money to bribe people into making huge decisions in a pressure situation, and the viewers love it. This results in the belittlement of the marriage system and lessens the value of getting married in the first place. If a person is getting married to a complete stranger based on first impressions, or even at the hands of whoever may be watching, the only value in the marriage itself is to get on tv. People these days value fame and fortune over love. The way these reality tv shows force people into poor decisions made on a whim is dumbing down society and turning something so important into a tool for entertainment. The thought that there are women that need a game show audience to choose their husband is appalling. And they wonder why Americas divorce rate is up.

Women's right: history, situation, advancement, and future direction. (Jee Yun Choi)

Thesis: Even though numerous movement for women's right and women's advancement in society, there still exist discrimination against women. We should remember women's sufferage and effort for the womens' right.

There was a movie about women's right called Iron Jawed Angels. As we saw the movie, there were women's suffrage movement during the 1910's.
I think it is hard for most to remember that women have had the right to vote for less than 100 years. However, there still exist numerous issues about discrimination against women.

1. The social situation about women discrimination in the world.
- Women discrimination at work.
- Women's rights are an issue in countries where religion is law, such as many Muslim countries.
2. History of movements about disctiminate against women in the world.

- Votes for women: One hundred years toward suffarage.
- Women's rights movement in the U.S. This timeline covers the years of 1848 to 1920.
- Feminist protest, Miss America and "bra burning"

3. various women leader in the world.
Politicial part
Hilary Clinton - Presidential candidate as an women
Women's right are human's right speech.
but there are still less people ( only 3 governors of state in the U.S.)

Economic part
Myung Hee Lee - currently the chair man of the Shinsegae group, the largest retail group in Korea.
but most chair men of the company are the male.

4. Conclusion
The social system still discriminateagainet the women.
It is easy to forget remembering the effort fot women's right.
We have to remember women's sufferage and we have to encourage the women' right in the society.

"Under the Sign of Mickey Mouse" (WooHyun Kim)

After reading this article, I made this.

Globalization is Not Americanization

There are two points of view about globalization in terms of culture. Pro-globalizers believe that the age of cultural pluralism has come true as various cultures over the world are freely exchanged beyond national borders. Conversely, cultural pessimists charge that globalization has been imposing Americanized uniformity, which may undermine local cultures and national identities. Each argument has some truth in it, but here I'd like to explore some over-blown fears about Americanization.

First, you can choose to drink Coke and eat at McDonald's without becoming American. One newspaper photo of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan showed them toting Kalashnikovs as well as a sports bag with Nike's trademark. People's culture may scarcely be eroded by mere commercial artifacts.

Second, America transforms foreign cultures into a friendly and commercial culture. Some say that American mass culture has transformed the world into a replica of the United States. Yet the reason for the success of the movie 'Titanic' was not because it celebrated American values but because people all over the world could see some part of their own lives in the story of love and loss. Successful American culture is attributed, to a large extent, to America's dependence on foreign cultures.

Third, Americas culture may not be all that American. American audience is international because of the influx of immigrants and refugees. Its regional, ethnic, religious, and racial diversity have forced America to develop cultural products with a broad multi-cultural appeal. The Hollywood studios and television networks, for instance, have had to learn how to speak to a variety of groups and classes at home. That has given them the techniques to appeal to an equally diverse audience abroad. American culture, in essence, is mixed-up cultures of the world

Fourth, national identity is not disappearing but the bonds of nationality are loosening. Nationality doesn't make an absolute difference in establishing your identity any more. Being Korean or American does not define who you are: It is part of who you are. To loosen nationality is one thing, and to lose national identity is another. As long as you speak Korean, were born and live near each other, face similar problems, and have a common experience, you are still Korean. Your national identity will not disappear.

Based on the above-mentioned exaggerations behind Americanization, it is hard to assert that globalization comes down to Americanization. It is true that American culture goes global, but it doesn't mean to regard global culture and American culture as synonymous.

the achievement of desire (YU CHEN)

  Education is good for any individuals, as a common sense. However, are there all good aspects? Maybe things won’t be that simple. In the article, the main idea is that education sometimes can alienate people from their classmates, families, even their origins. There are so many evidences to illustrate that the writer has been changed gradually though education that on contrary made him went away from his own family members. For example, the writer’s parents are from the place where the people speak Spanish, but after receiving education from the good English teacher, the young writer started to correct his parents’ accent and allow him to look the accent as humiliating. Those kinds of cases illustrate the writer’s point that sometimes education will let people lose the respect to parents.

  In my own view, I have some deep feelings about the last part of the whole article. As a Chinese student who goes to America to look for higher education, parents must be very worried and curious about my life. They always keep asking me how is school going, but what can I say to them? I do not know how I can reply the question, because sometimes we just lose the same topic with our parents. Of course education is not the only cause to make you alienate from your family, but it do is a primary cause. Furthermore, I agree that some of the writer’s opinions are too extreme, education will teach us lots of new knowledge, but at the same time, we cannot use this reason to alienate our family, our origins. “scholarship boy” is not so good, acceptable or popular in public.
