First-generation Asian immigrants tend to be more traditional in their value system and would prefer to marry within their culture to keep their traditions alive and the family structure intact. Language may be another reason why first-generation Asian immigrants are more likely to date and marry people from their background than second-generation Asian-Americans who have become more acculturated.
Second- and third-generation Asian immigrants have adopted American cultural values and absorbed the stereotypes they see on TV. Although there is considerable awareness about stereotyping, younger generations of Asian-Americans cannot help but respond to the images they see of their ethnic group. If the only images of Asian men are de-sexualized then it makes sense that Asian women would cease viewing Asian men as desirable. Similarly, if the only views of Asian women on television are eroticized then it would make sense that Asian women seem more attractive to other ethnic groups.
As I reflect on the ways Asians...
I set up my practice at once. So many maladies among citizens of this town were directly related to the spiritual imbalance in the forest. Little puk-wudgees caused much havoc among the townsfolk. Oh, at first the people of Freetown had little faith in my medicine, but over time they came to appreciate that I was perfect for their unique corner of the world. Theirs was a land haunted. People
Given that Puma's new Bolt-endorsed line of running shoes doesn't really contain any groundbreaking innovations, either, it seems like simply more of the same rather than anything fresh and exciting. Puma is reaching out to a different market than Nike, it is understood, and Usain Bolt simply does not have the same celebrity status or marketing clout as Michael Jordan.

War The Experience of War War has changed greatly in character from the days of knights in shining armor. The concept of a "state" rather than just a regional ruler has changed the dynamic of war. Rather than meeting on a battlefield and duking it out, two armies now willfully attack civilian targets to demoralize a population, cut off trade routes to starve a population, and, if it comes to it, invade
Third is a series of passwords and personal information chosen by the customer. On top of this they guarantee customers that if they are victims of fraudulent activity on their Egg accounts, any losses are covered in full. "This has never happened," says Andrew. "There has never been any breach of internet security." ("- -- : Safety Net for" 2001:44) Again internet and bank security are largely overexagertated yet they
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent on earth. Beginning with the 1959 treaty establishing Antarctica as an international zone free of claims of sovereignty by nation's that had been instrumental in establishing research stations there, there has been almost constant negotiation about how
The U.S., however, is the only industrial democracy, common law or otherwise, in which courts must throw out tainted evidence in criminal trials. The U.S. Supreme Court decisions establishing and expanding on this principle have collectively come to be known as the "exclusionary rule." Although the rule had its origins in arguments about the morality of obtaining a conviction while relying on improperly obtained evidence, its primary modern justification
