    My name is Eui-Rim Koo and until this class assignment I could not thoughtfully considered what my ethic background is. I was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1988. Growing up, I was a real busy kid playing baseball and soccer with friends. My face was always tanned and my voice often became very husky from all the debates I had with my friends. As I look back at those years now, my heart stats to race as if I look at the sunshine through green leaves. I always had reasons to laugh and smile never left my face. My parents were quite open minded and let me grow up with much freedom. I did not have to go through the agonizing stresses like attending after school academies like other students. Only one thing my parents asked from me was to take full responsibilities for my own choices and actions. At times, I wished my parents were more attentive to my agendas and felt that they should be more concerned about me. However, I am really grateful to my parents now because I have realized that the “self-reliance” and “sense of independence” I learned from my parents are the greatest strengths of mine.…

    The Impact of Ethnicity

    • 779 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The new era in business is facing with the globalization, and globalization brings diversity. Diversity is a very real aspect of the American’s culture. How does diversity impact individual behavior? According with Hung Ng (2005), “humans exist not only as unique individuals, but also as members of social groups that are formed on the basis of ethnicity, gender, age, and so for.” These dual aspects of the human being make people act different if they are among the people with the same background or not. Everyone can respect and adapt to a new culture, but not everyone is feeling the same comfort level when she/he is among people from a different background. For instance if a Hispanic coworker sees another Hispanic person come in to his/her workplace, automatically they start to speak Spanish. In the same way, if an American that is living oversea sees another American come to his/her way, they immediately start to speak in English. This happen because of the comfort level that the people feel when they are talking with somebody from the same background.…

    In this essay, I write about ethnic group and why we cannot define an ethnic group by their cultural elements such as language, religion, customs and so on. I write this essay because there is a question about why we cannot define an ethnic group by their culture, whereas culture are one elements of an ethnic. There is problem of seeing ethnic groups as cultural groups; “the mere fact that two groups of people are of different culture does not necessarily imply – as has nearly always been assumed – that they belong to two quite different social systems (Leach 1954: 17), “Someone is Lue by virtue of believing and calling himself Lue and of acting in ways that validate his Lueness” (Moerman, 1965:1219),…

    The Ethnic

    ETHNIC RELATIONS IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA: THE CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC DIMENSIONS Abstract This paper looks at the changing ethnic relations in Peninsular Malaysia in terms of the interactions between the state’s policies to advance Malay cultural dominance and reduce ethnic economic inequality and the aspirations and actions of the Chinese community. The state of ethnic relations partly will depend on whether the majority of the ethnic members, in particular the ethnic elites, are pursuing separatist or amalgamative strategies and goals, and on whether the rival ethnic groups stand in positions of marked inequality or near equality to each other. In this sense, since the 1969 ethnic riots, ethnic relations have eluded out right conflicts in part because the rival ethnic communities have pursued mainly amalgamative strategies and goals, and in part because the economic inequality gap has narrowed between the Malays and non-Malays. However, the expanding place of Islam in the Malay personal, and hence collective, identity and the relative success in making social classes more multiethnic have added additional complexities to the future of ethnic relations. Introduction Ethnicity remains the most potent force in Malaysia even if of late its influence has been somewhat adulterated by other social stratification forces, principally class and gender. The potency of ethnicity lies in its ability to combine both affective and instrumental appeals. As members of distinct and self-conscious cultural communities, Malays, Chinese and Indians naturally were inclined to identify with and treasure their respective…
