I have to do a tutorial on a passage we have read for 15 minutes in from of the class and i have to give out hand outs i need to know The difference between asian and australian and the difference in their education please help!

In the west truth is (supposed to be ) the most important thing. In the East it’s about No.9 on the list of virtues.
In the east being in harmony with society is important, so students like to answer as a group.

Since White American guys like Asians, shouldn’t America send them all to China and trade them in for the Chinese guys!? That would be so hot. Then also the importance of education like Asian men have, and the great work ethic, the family values, extreme sexiness and all the money they make can go into America and make it better/smarter. Blending Asian men with the White women, Black women and Latina women will create a sexy @ss population too! That would be so HOT! Sexiness.

lol erm *coughs* i actually live in the UK but i’m in china atm

…the political tea party, not the "cha" kind. Hehe. You do understand that your presence is more than welcomed, don’t you?

I don’t get involved in things like that. Honestly I don’t see where I would fit in at all.

This is not to de-value Asians, but i would like to know. What happens to the individual that is anti social, studies their @ss off and is pushed by their parents. Please, use your experience if any to answer this question i have.

PS: when do most Asian-Americans or Asian-Canadians "burnout" if they do

You might want to look at the statistics of the ethnicity of the students who receive the M.D. degree upon the completion of medical school.

Let me explain. To many Westerners, having a childfree life is considered fine and there’s nothing wrong with that. And I agree that a childfree life is definitely okay and normal. I prefer to be childfree myself. But is it the opposite opinion of what it is in some Asian cultures?

Is it true that in some Asian traditions (e.g. Chinese tradition) that having children is considered crucial. And in these traditions that being childfree is not really accepted?

The answers are either senseless rants, useless commentaries, or blatant racism – depends on whether you believe a batch of cells that in no way developed self-consciousness constitute as a human life form or not.

One more thing, for the record, modern Chinese families love their daughters as much as their sons, the idiots who say otherwise obviously never went to China.

China being a ancient civilisation, puts lots of emphasis on inheritance of traditional values, particularly ancestry, therefore producing a heir (male or female) to the family name, and its embodied ancestry, is quite important.

Other families think you have one shot at life (the Chinese people really aren’t that religious), why not make the best of it? And from where else can you experience the wonder of parenthood, and watch your child grow up, knowing a part of you lives with him, and is passed on to every subsequent heir?

Of course with a modernising nation comes modernising attitudes, some families adopt children, and some simply doesn’t have children, some people doesn’t even prefer to marry.

All sort of people live in all sorts of geographical regions, regardless of nationality or ethnicity.

their dads are usually uptight and have strict asian values
but asian american men of 2nd generation have more coolness and sexyness and overall manliness

asian guys are yummy.

I need an issue to write about.. I was thinking the Asian values debate but it’s very complex. If anyone has an idea please tell me!

Thanks!

The failure of the Japanese Govt. to acknowledge and apologize for THE RAPE OF NAN KING look it up and decide.

I am NOT being stereotypical. According to many Asian traditions (e.g. Chinese tradition or its philosophy), marriage is value as highly important, and one can lose one’s face if one chooses to decide to not get married.

In America, marriage is less of an importance though I am NOT saying that marriage should be avoided. It’s just that marriage is taken less seriously in America than in many Asian countries.

Marriage used to be important for Americans as well before the 1960’s. Your culture must be more monogamous than Western culture, and what I noticed is that Asian place high importance on cooperation and fitting in societal norms. When you say "lose face" that means to me a loss of honor before others of your society.

i’m a single mom and i have a 5 month old baby daughter. the (white) father abandoned us before she was even born. i talk to my daughter in my own language, i want to raise her as a buddhist, with asian values (study hard, do good in school, no drinking/partying/dating), i only want her to socialize with asian people and i want her to identify herself as 100% asian. i might not even tell her that she’s half.

you only want her to socialize with other asians? that’s weird and racist, what other group or race doesn’t mingle with others. you go do that.

If Asian values is against democracy, could we curtail the political rights of citizens of asian descent?

According to some political leaders in Singapore/Malaysia and other people that believe the Taiwanese are "democratic" because they are not "Chinese," whilst the Chinese are Chinese and thus not democratic, rather they are interested only in making money and political "stability" rather than individual freedoms and rights.

If there is some basis in the idea that some cultures are just not "democratic" or "conducive to democracy" or place heavy importance on liberty and political freedoms. Then could we not have a basis for excluding such rights to Australian/American/EU citizens of Asian descent?

Like.. "Sorry you can’t vote because you are Asian, you don’t need to vote, you should be happy with your job, income, house, car and house, you don’t need to protest because you are Asian… so you should not be joining "White" people on a protest march."

Has anyone made that argument to counter the idea of "Asian Values."?

Asian Americans have the lowest voting turnout

Why bother to ban them from voting? they already aren’t doing it
