A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore
genealogy Article Challenges and Strategies for Promoting Children’s Education: A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore Min Zhou 1,* and Jun Wang 2 1 Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1551, USA 2 School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 639818, Singapore; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 February 2019; Accepted: 11 April 2019; Published: 15 April 2019 Abstract: Confucian heritage culture holds that a good education is the path to upward social mobility as well as the road to realizing an individual’s fullest potential in life. In both China and Chinese diasporic communities around the world, education is of utmost importance and is central to childrearing in the family. In this paper, we address one of the most serious resettlement issues that new Chinese immigrants face—children’s education. We examine how receiving contexts matter for parenting, what immigrant parents do to promote their children’s education, and what enables parenting strategies to yield expected outcomes. Our analysis is based mainly on data collected from face-to-face interviews and participant observations in Chinese immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York in the United States and in Singapore. We find that, despite different contexts of reception, new Chinese immigrant parents hold similar views and expectations on children’s education, are equally concerned about achievement outcomes, and tend to adopt overbearing parenting strategies. We also find that, while the Chinese way of parenting is severely contested in the processes of migration and adaptation, the success in promoting children’s educational excellence involves not only the right set of culturally specific strategies but also tangible support from host-society institutions and familial and ethnic social networks. -

Recovering Xiangshan Culture and the Joint Local Development
Asian Social Science; Vol. 10, No. 11; 2014 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Recovering Xiangshan Culture and the Joint Local Development Ruihui Han1 1 Humanities School, Jinan University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China Correspondence: Ruihui Han, Humanities School, Jinan University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 21, 2014 Accepted: May 5, 2014 Online Published: May 30, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n11p77 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n11p77 Abstract Xiangshan culture is a beautiful flower in Chinese modern history. The paper analyzes the origin, development, waning and influence of it. It is innovating and pioneering, and has the features of inclusiveness, mercantilism and its own historical heritage. Recovering Xiangshan culture has significant meaning for the local development of economy, society and culture. And that would also provide the positive driving force for the historic progress of all the China. Keywords: Xiangshan culture, Xiangshanese, modernization, social development, cultural development 1. Introduction The requirement of regional integration of Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen often appeared in recent years. For example, the bill for combining Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen as Zhujiang City was tabled by Guangdong Zhigong Party committee in January, 2014. The same bill was also tabled by the Macau member of CPPCC(Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) in March, 2013. The city administration partition hinders the regional development of Xiangshan. Integration of the three cities can improve the cooperation with the destruction of administration partition. The bills are thought as a good idea but cannot be realized easily. -

Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

Running head: CULTURAL SCHEMATA AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL SCHEMATA ON RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING AND FALSE MEMORY An Honours Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology Supervised by Dr. Thomas Phenix University of Regina by Tony Ta Regina, Saskatchewan April 2018 © 2018: T. Ta CULTURAL SCHEMATA AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING i Abstract An active organization of past experiences shared by an entire cultural group is known as cultural schemata (Bartlett, 1932; Garro, 2001). One may fail to recognize a culture-specific action, behaviour, or concept because it is not a part of the individual’s cultural schemata. For instance, extending one’s pinkie and index fingers upward is a gesture commonly used by rock stars. But, it also symbolizes one’s spouse having an affair in Mediterranean countries (Padmavat, 2013). Thus, cultural-context is important when eliciting meaning to individuals of varying cultures. This study examined the ability to memorize culturally foreign concepts by investigating individuals’ susceptibility to retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) and false recognition when presented with narratives containing foreign concepts. RIF is a mental phenomenon that occurs when a target memory is retrieved in the context of high levels of competition from related memories. The retrieval of the target memory suppresses related memories, making them more difficult to access (Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). Narratives containing culturally familiar concepts were used as control stimuli. It was hypothesized that participants would experience greater RIF effects, greater false recognition rates, and worse overall memory for the culturally foreign narratives when compared to the culturally familiar narratives. -

Food Culture in China: from Social Political Perspectives
TRAMES, 2018, 22(72/67), 4, 345–364 FOOD CULTURE IN CHINA: FROM SOCIAL POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES Robert Guang Tian1, Kathy Tian2, Zhao Dandan1, and Camilla H. Wang3 1Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics, 2University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and 3Shantou University Abstract: Based on anthropological theory on food, this research gives a brief discussion on the development direction of food civilization, analyzes the facts that people’s diet activities and eating behaviors, in the ancient Chinese society centering on the state political power, were controlled or influenced by the political ideology. It also probes the relationship between food culture and social-political traditions. Taking ‘tables’ and ‘banquets’ as the subjects, the paper introduces haute cuisine, everyday food and national dishes from the social stratification of diet. It proposes that the development of Chinese food has been influenced by the ritualized privilege system, noble traditions and applica- tion of ancient science and technology invention of cooking. It responds to Gernet’s idea of poverty stress and Kwang-Chih Chang’s idea of ethos. Through the power symbols of Chinese banquet culture, a banquet level analysis model is presented to pave a path for further empirical study. Keywords: food culture, banquet level, social consciousness, social stratification, power symbol DOI: https://doi.org/10.3176/tr.2018.4.02 1. Introduction In the ancient Chinese society with the state political power as the center, people’s diet activities and eating behaviors were controlled or influenced by political ideology, and they tended to break away from the material joy of the diet itself and transform into non-diet social functions (Huang 2001). -
The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.
