...Racial Diversity: Historical Worksheet Throughout most of the history of the United States, the majority race in most locations has been White, also referred to as Caucasian or White American. Of the White American race, there are two separate ethnic origins defined by the United States Census Bureau that a person may belong to – Hispanic or Non-Hispanic. A White Hispanic person is defined as a “citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent”. The ancestral backgrounds that most members of the White Non-Hispanic racial group share are Europe, the Middle East, and North African, while those of Hispanic descent have ancestors from Spain or Latin America and Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa (United States Census Bureau, 2012). Two of the larger racial minority groups in U.S. history are Black or African Americans, comprising about 12.5% of the population, and Asian Americans who make up about 4.5% of the population. Black Americans are primarily descended from Africans who were involuntarily brought to American and the United States between the early 1600’s and the mid-1800’s, so specific African nations of origin are usually untraceable. Since the 1970’s, there has been a growing population within the Black American racial group who originate in Jamaica, Haiti, and Barbados. Black Americans have been a significant minority group since the early 1900’s. Asian Americans typically share ancestral backgrounds in China, the Philippines, Vietnam,...

...Alan Chen ASAM 320 Asian American Dream “Thus as individuals and as a people, in the home, on the job, in the classrooms, and on the street, we have had to make choices.”(Iijima 2) Choices that make the American Dream possible. Asian Americans attain the American Dream by examples in music, literature, visual arts, and graphic novels. Asian Americans have worked hard to succeed and have freedom without the government intervene. Three examples are “A Grain of Sand” music for the struggle by Asian in America, “Shortcomings” by Adrian Tomin, and music from Sudden Rush, “EA” and K-Pop, which explains Asian Americans obtain the American Dream. American Dream is a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. The term American Dream is used in many ways, but it is an idea that suggests that anyone in the United States can succeed through hard work and have the potential to lead a happy, successful life. Many people have expanded upon the definition to include things such as freedom, fulfillment and meaningful. The American dream is achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking and hard work, not by chance. In “A Grain of Sand”, “You are the music You are the song You are the ones To whom the future belongs,” (Iijima – Miyatmoto 3) this shows the freedom that helps make you succeed in life and prosper. In the article, the poem, “Wandering...

...the Times has repeatedly remarked on the “deluge” of Greek tragedy in the 1998-99 theater season: the National Theater of Greece’s Medea, Joanne Akalaitis’ The Iphigeneia Cycle (a double bill that combines Euripides’ two Iphigeneia plays), a revival of Andrei Serban’s famous Fragments of a Greek Trilogy, and a four-and-a-half-hour adaptation of the Oedipus Rex were announced at the start of the season. Off-off Broadway versions will inevitably follow. The Brooklyn Academy of Music even hosted a dance/theatre piece based on the Eleusinian Mysteries. 1 The Classic Stage Company, an off-Broadway theater group devoted to performance and adaptation of Western classics, currently receives more scripts that re-work Greek tragedy than any other category of drama. 2 From a global perspective, New York is simply reflecting a trend set by important modern playwrights and directors worldwide. Greek drama now occupies a regular place in the London theater season. In the past twenty years, acclaimed productions have been mounted not only in Europe but also in Japan, India, and Africa. Translations are even beginning to proliferate in China, occasionally with unexpected results. A recent Chinese translator of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex referred to all the Greek gods generically as Apollo, since he could count on his audience’s ability to recognize this name from the United States space program. 3 The Greek theater festival at Delphi has played host to many of these performances, with the result...

...PHILIPPINE THEATER Theater in the Philippines is as varied as the cultural traditions and the historical influences that shaped it through the centuries. The dramatic forms that flourished and continue to flourish among the different peoples of the archipelago include: the indigenous theater, mainly Malay in character, which is seen in rituals, mimetic dances, and mimetic customs; the plays with Spanish influence, among which are the komedya, the sinakulo, the playlets, the sarswela, and the drama; and the theater with Anglo-American influence, which encompasses bodabil and the plays in English, and the modern or original plays by Fihpinos, which employ representational and presentational styles drawn from contemporary modern theater, or revitalize traditional forms from within or outside the country. The Indigenous Theater The rituals, dances, and customs which are still performed with urgency and vitality by the different cultural communities that comprise about five percent of the country’s population are held or performed, together or separately, on the occasions of a person’s birth, baptism, circumcision, initial menstruation, courtship, wedding, sickness, and death; or for the celebration of tribal activities, like hunting, fishing, rice planting and harvesting, and going to war. In most rituals, a native priest/priestess, variously called mandadawak, catalonan, bayok, or babalyan, goes into a trance as the spirit he/she is calling upon possesses him/her. While entranced...

...Chapter1 Q1. What do ethnomusicologists mean when they say, “Music is universal, but it is not a universal language?” A1. “Ethnomusicologists use this phrase to bring cultures together. The problems with the metaphor are many. First, music is not a language, at least not in the sense of conveying specific meanings through specific symbols, in standard patterns analogies to syntax, and governed by rules of structure analogies to grammar. While attempts have been made to analyze music in liquistic terms, these ultimately failed because music is a totally different realm. Second, it is questionable whether music really can transcend linguistic barriers and culturally determined behaviors, through some forms of emotional communication, such as crying, are so fundamentally human that irrationally all perceive it the same way. What we see with music does not support the motion that music is a universal language, unfortunately, and we do not believe such a concept to be useful in examining the world’s music.”(3) Q5. In what ways does world music study require an interdisciplinary approach? A5. “World music causes have no such canon, and certainly no list of great composers. The world is too large and there are too many choices consensus to form. Therefore, one must consider not only how to organize such a course but what to include. What should every world music student knew? If the organization is geographical, what genres and particular examples should ‘represent’ a country or...

...Multicultural Education Scenario AED 200 Contemporary Issues in American Education March 10, 2010 June Roman Multicultural Education Scenario Multicultural education focus in providing equal education opportunity to all types of students from all cultural backgrounds including English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) and Exceptional Student education (ESE) students. Principals and teachers are striving to reform and guide students into becoming critical thinkers and lifelong learners in multicultural classrooms. Schools are finding new ways to assist students in thinking deeply about a subject, communicating their ideas, writing, and using their knowledge to solve real-world problems regardless of their background. One of the major goals of language development is for students to become literate and develop academic competent. Being able to understand and appreciate literature, learn other subjects through English, communicate orally, and in writing is one of the major goals of any school with ESOL and ESE students. Schools that meet this challenge use a variety of strategies to adjust their program to serve their students in multicultural classrooms. Davidman & Davidman (1997) stated several multicultural strategies are as follows: 1. Multi-perspective teaching of American, Canadian, Mexican, and World History 2. Un-tracking 3. Gender-Fair Instruction 4. Teaching Conflict Resolution Techniques ...

...NEW YORK CITY New York City is located at the mouth of the Hudson River, southeastern New York State, and northeastern U.S. New York City has a long history because a lot of immigrants came here during the nine teen and early twentieth.

...The Japanese Experience: Pre and Post Internment Camp The Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 caused the United States to not only declare war against Japan, but also to demand internment for anyone persons living in the United States that would be considered a national security threat, most of those people being Japanese-Americans. The Japanese experience has been altered by the policies and narrative of United States history. As waves of immigrants began to populate more of the West Coast, the growing frustration of California citizens allowed for the legal discrimination of most Asian Americans. Throughout their time in the U.S, there is a rich history attached to the Japanese experience. Among World War II, internment camps,...

...Phil Theater Arts In many forms, theater was and still an effective medium to promote social awareness, as a means of entertainment and a liberal way to express one’s opinion. Most places in the Philippines have their own town fiestas flaunted with festivities and shows. During holy week, people stage the cenaculo- a theatrical presentation of the passion of Christ, and the moro-moro or comedia that relates to Christian and Muslim conflict. Some towns perform zarzuela, a Philippine version of Spanish light operetta, others present their poetic debate called duplo and karagatans. Another theatre form, the carillo, a shadow drama is usually shown after harvest. Cavite has Sanghiyang, Batangas has Subli and Laguna presents their Turumba and Pasyon. These traditional plays exemplify the union of folk religion and Catholicism. On the first Sunday of January, Marinduque present its Three Kings’ Pageant and during the Lenten season, the same town performs its famous Moriones Festival. In the streets of Baliwag, Bulacan and Kawit, Cavite, Panunuluyan is staged on Christmas eve- a re-enactment of Mary and Joseph’s struggling search for shelter for the birth of Christ. http://www.camperspoint.com/spip.php?article249 Philippines Dula: Musing on Philippine Theater and Drama “Scene 1, Act 1.

...nineteen fifties. From what I recall during these times, there were 4 ethnic groups which consisted mostly of whites, at five percent, Native American Indians at three percent, African Americans, and one percent Mexican, and Asian Americans. As I grew up and began attending kinder-garden, the only people I knew were our two white neighboring families and their children. I knew what the Indians looked like because they walked past our yard on the way to patronizing at the three bars two blocks away. I just knew they were different in skin tones and black hair and some silver. After two days of kinder-garden there were 4 Indian boys added to our class. Two of the Indian boys sat next to me trying to talk to me, but were rude and were always making noise and disrupting the class. I became close friends with them several weeks later, and we all grew up and graduated together. It wasn’t until half way through the tenth grade that I met our first Chinese, Japanese Americans that transferred from California to Idaho. For me, this was a great awakening as these new students were nothing like I was raised to believe. The Japanese American girl was distant towards all other students and teachers, so I asked my Father if he knew why she was distancing herself from us like that and he said her Family had been part of the Japanese American families that were placed in internment camps in the United States during World War II. I never understood what he was talking about, but I did...

...Hiroshima: Why America Dropped the Bomb Ronald Takaki Back Bay Books September 1, 1996 Joseph Marty Professor J. Cosco U.S. History Since 1865 November 27, 2011 Throughout the recent years of history, there has been an intense debate justifying the use of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima as well as Nagasaki a few days after, but many others argue that it was unjust to use such a weapon of massive catastrophe on an almost defeated nation at the time during the end of World War II: Japan. Ronald Takaki, author of the book Hiroshima: Why America Dropped the Bomb was an avid writer in the terms of Asian-America equality and morals based on his own experiences. In this book, he gave many thorough details explaining plausible reasons as to why Truman decided to launch the devastating attack on an already weak Japan. Takaki has used many sources including military reports, personal letters, and self recordings to further expand on this debate based approximately on facts more than moral opinions. When America had already won the war in Europe, there was still one more target left deemed as a threat to society according to the government. That target was Japan. The commander of the Pacific forces at the time was General Douglas Macarthur and he was never consulted about the use of the atomic bomb. Macarthur was only notified two days before the official use of the atomic bomb. The general was very depressed to hear about the use of the bomb because...

...Throughout history, the united states supreme court has dealt with many controversial issues. The courts decisions in these cases have had a significant impact on the nation. Two such cases were Schenck v. United States and Korematsu v. United States. Both cases took place in a time of war when personal freedoms had to be sacrificed for the good of america. While the government is supposed to protect the people, sometimes, it actually limits their rights instead. The decision of the court in these cases drastically changed the lives of not only those involved in the case, but all other american citizens. Schenck v.
