Samarathunga, S.E.I. Subasinghe, D.N. Wickramaarachchi, Kalani Nirasha, D.N. Wickramasinghe, W.W.M.E.G.P.M.B.Wickramasinghe Supervised by Mr. S.C.Thushara Abstract Countries differ from one country to another country by their identical characteristics which are coming under their own national culture. People behaviors are respectively linked to cultural values of the country and this association is based on the framework of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. The study indicates the cultural differences of the countries among the world according to a four dimension which are Power distance, Uncertainty avoidance, Individualism vs. collectivism and Masculinity vs. femininity. Power distance means the extent to the nations which accept the power in organization or anywhere is distributed unequally without further justifications. The extent to which the members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these is reflected by the Uncertainty avoidance. The third dimension is Individualism vs. collectivism which reflect the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members, and the fourth dimension, Masculinity vs. femininity indicates that the society will be driven by competition, achievement and success, with success being defined by the winner / best in field – a value system that starts in school and continues throughout organizational behavior. The purpose of this study is comparing the national culture in Asian countries and identifies what factors affect to association with the Hofstede’s cultural dimension studies.

    The Future of East Asia: Concept, Method and Perspective – EU As Mirror Shuifa Han

    Han Asian Journal of German and European Studies (2016) 1:1 Asian Journal of German DOI 10.1186/s40856-016-0004-z and European Studies ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access The future of East Asia: concept, method and perspective – EU as mirror Shuifa Han Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Philosophy/Institute Abstract of Foreign Philosophy, Peking University, Beijing 100871, The Background: The solidarity of East Asia, or its possible integration, and even the People’s Republic of China establishment of a union in the future, could not place hope on just spontaneous generation and development of the situation, but should rely on the self- consciousness and autonomous efforts of the people and politicians in East Asian countries. EU and other various organizations within the East Asia region, not only provide rich experience, but also offer a variety of possible ways and means for the solidarity of the East Asian countries. Methods: Under the principles of human rights and rule of law, as well as on the basis of equality and consultation, the significance of East Asian integration consists in facing the history, historical ties and cultural heritage fully and independently, in addition to the assumption of the present and future needs, as well as the responsibilities and obligations which have to be taken in joint effort. Results and discussion: East Asian Community, if it is possible, would become one of the main civilization circles of the world, and constitute the core of the modern world system together with the EU, the US and possibly other systems or communities of countries, meanwhile forming a civilization region with special characteristics of culture.

    Religion: Christianity and Zoroastrianism

    This page intentionally left blank ROME AND PERSIA IN LATE ANTIQUITY The foundation of the Sasanian Empire in ad 224 established a formidable new power on the Roman Empire’s Eastern frontier, and relations over the next four centuries proved turbulent. This book provides a chronological narrative of their relationship, supported by a substantial collection of translated sources illustrating important themes and structural patterns. The political goals of the two sides, their military confrontations and their diplomatic solutions are dis- cussed, as well as the common interests between the two powers. Special attention is given to the situation of Arabia and Armenia, to economic aspects, the protection of the frontiers, the religious life in both empires and the channels of communication between East and West. In its wide chronological scope, the study explores the role played by the Sasanians in the history of the ancient Near East. The book will prove invaluable for students and non-specialists interested in late antiquity and early Byzantium, and it will be equally useful for specialists on these subjects. beate dignas is Fellow and Tutorin Ancient History at Somerville College, Oxford.

    2. Lesson 1 – Resource Sheet 1

    Lesson 1: Resource Sheet 1 Australia and its Asian neighbours Asia is Earth's largest continent. It’s also the continent with the most people. Asia stretches from Europe in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east and from the Indian Ocean in the south and the Arctic Ocean in the north. Asia covers 30 per cent of the Earth’s total land area and 8.7 per cent of the planet’s surface. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, now has 60 per cent of the world’s population. That is 6 out of every 10 people live in Asia – a total population of 4.5 billion people. Asia is home to several of the world’s oldest civilizations and the birthplace of its great religions. Figure 1: Asia covers a vast area of the Earth’s surface. © Geography Teachers Association NSW Figure 2: The countries of Asia © Geography Teachers Association NSW Climate and landscapes of Asia Asia has a wide variety of climates, landforms and landscapes. The climate ranges from very cold in the north to hot and wet in the south. The interior of the continent is mostly dry. Much of southern and southeast Asia is affected by the monsoon, a seasonal reversal of wind direction. When the wind blows from the warm oceans onto the land it brings large amounts of rainfall. When it blows from the dry interior of Asia the winds are dry and there is little rainfall. As a result, much of mainland Asia is seasonally wet and dry.

  • Asian American Studies Self Study

    Asian American Studies Self Study

    Asian American and Transnational Asian Studies: Self Study By Morgan Pitelka and Heidi Kim Section One: Overview Why Asian American and Transnational Asian Studies? Asian American Studies emerged out of the Civil Rights Movement and the growing interest of diverse ethnic populations here in the U.S. in their unique, but also shared, experiences and political challenges. The interdisciplinary approach to studying the history, culture, and experiences of Asian Americans, and the ongoing migration of people from Asia to the U.S. (as well as to other parts of the world), is as salient today as it was in the 1960s and 70s. The population of Asian and Asian American students at UNC has grown to the point that today it is the largest minority group on campus. At the same time, the growing awareness of the great diversity within this population, in terms of heritage, language, and social and economic outcomes, is a reminder that Asian Americans defy stereotypes and need to be understood within larger global flows and specific American historical contexts. For Asian and Asian American students, too, opportunities to study the history and culture of these populations within the larger sweep of American and global history is vital to understanding what diversity actually means in the complex and evolving racial history of this country. Asian American and Transnational Asian Studies today is thus a vital component of the university’s focus on fields such as American Studies, Asian Studies, Global Studies, International Relations, Critical Race Studies and Cultural Studies. Asian American and Transnational Asian Studies is a field that allows us to explore the links between uniquely American stories of the trials and tribulations of individuals and families, as well as the larger global networks within which they are nested.

    Korea s First Encounters... 195 Korea s First Encounters with Pan-Asianism Ideology in the Early 1880s* Vladimir Tikhonov The paper deals with the process of dissemination of Japanese Pan- Asianism in Korea mainly in 1880-1884. It is based mainly on the publica- tions of Japan s earliest large-scale Pan-Asianist group, Koakai- , as well as Korean materials. The paper begins with an outline of Pan-Asianism research in South Korea, Japan, and Western academia, and then gives a short summary of the genesis and growth of Pan-Asianism in Japan before 1880. Its main part deals with the establishment and early activi- ties (especially Korea-related) of Koakai- , the aim of the research being to delineate Koakai- s social and political character, as well as the process of defining its ideology. Attention is also paid to the character of the recep- tion of Koakai- ideology in Korea, and the role of Pan-Asianism in forma- tion of Korea s early progressive thought. Koakai- s Pan-Asianism is examined as simultaneously culturalist, racialist, and regionalist ideology, and the influence of Koakai- s racialist taxonomies ( struggle between the Whites and Yellows ), its culturalist construction of Asia as the center of human civilization, and its regionalist idea of the East Asian alliance on the formation of Korea s modernity discourses is scrutinized.
