...shanghai, it was said that “the whole family except for Lindo would leave” (53). Lindo didn’t say a word. When the day finnaly came, no one said goodbye. All that was said was, “do not disgrace us” When Lindo arrived, she wasn’t given a celebration or anything. She went straight to the kithchen and started to work. Even though Lindo really missed her family, she knew that she had to stay and keeo her parent’s honor. This still shows that she was brave, that she is not a selfish girl. She is determined to please others. When Lindo saw her husband for the first time she knew that he would try to make things hard for her. Lindo’s husnband, Tyan-yu,was a great conflict for lindo to overcome. “He acted like a big warlord”(55). He would make Lindo’s life horrible by putting her down, and trelling her that her cooking was wrong. Even though Tyan-yu made her upset, she would deal with it. She would do what ever he had said...

...In an attempt to receive freedom, Lindo lied about the future compatibility of her and Tyan-Yu’s marriage. Using her knowledge of their families’ history and culture, she constructed a story to tell Huang Taitai in order to fighten and convince her enough to free Lindo from the marriage. However, within this story, she thoughtfully included a servant girl, who was fearful of her pregnancy, “’He said the servant girl is Tyan-Yu’s true spiritual wife. And the seed he has planted will grow into Tyan-yu’s child.’ (…) you can imagine how happy she was when they forced her to tell the truth about her imperial ancestry.” (Tan 65). As part of her deceitful plan to escape from her marriage, she decides to include one of the servants of the house that was kind to her. Lindo lies and explains that this servant was actually from imperial blood and is pregnant with Tyan-yu’s baby, when in fact a delivery man was the father. Her dishonesty will cause this servant to live a much more joyful life while being the wife of a rich man and not having to fear or worry about the life of her future...

...Katharine Tynan was an Irish poet born in 1859 in Clondalkin, a suburb of Dublin. She received an education through the Catholic school system (Poetry Foundation). She attended the Dominican Convent of St Catherine until age fourteen and was considered “a religious novitiate” (Irish Customs and Culture). Despite this, she married an English Protestant. This may be the reason why her first book was criticized by W.B Yeats as being “too full of English influence to be quite Irish” (Irish Customs and Culture). In her second book, fittingly titled “Shamrocks” she focused on having content that was influenced by her Irish-Catholic background. Due to the later inclusion of her Irish-Catholic heritage in her work, she played a huge role in the Irish...

...Immediately through a quick flip of pages, Amy Tan introduces Lindo Jong to speak further into the sacrifice of self happiness in the vignette, “The Red Candle”. Lindo Jong, mother of Waverly Jong, had a marriage arranged for her at the age of two years old. She was promised to Tyan-yu, the son of Huang Tai Tai, a spoiled young man who carried himself in a highly posh manner. Her mother had wanted to give her to a household with more financial value, to perhaps enhance her image. However, Lindo did not see this as a chance to redeem herself but rather decrease her confidence and worth. To demonstrate, Tan writes, “I began to cry and thought bitterly about my parent’s promise. I wondered why my destiny had been decided, why I should have an unhappy life so someone else could have a happy one” (58-59). Lindo had promised to sacrifice her own happiness, just to grant her parents happiness. A unique essence in Chinese culture is that daughters literally owed their parents their happiness, typically as a sign of respect....

...“Understanding nourishes belonging ...a lack of understanding prevents it. “ Demonstrate how your prescribed text and ONE other related text of your own choosing represent this interpretation of belonging. Belonging is a multi-facetated concept that encompasses both beneficial and detrimental aspects, as it can either provide feelings of sense of security and companionship, or have the exact opposite effect and produce feelings of animosity, disaffection and estrangement. The texts ‘The Joy Luck club’ and ‘Devil wears Prada’ are both exemplary texts in depicting the interpretation of understanding and a lack of understanding which acts as a catalyst to belong. ‘The Joy Luck Club’ tells the story of four Chinese immigrants and their Americanised daughters who tell the stories of their mothers through four parables. ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ tells the story of a young woman, Andy, who in her newly gained job as a co-assistant in the chaotic unfamiliar world of high-end fashion, portrays the concept that understanding can nourish belonging or a lack of understanding can hinder belonging, thus portraying an absence of belonging. Belonging to a culture brings stability at a place. This aspect is widely expressed through the text ‘The Joy Luck Club’ with Jing-Mei as the focus. After the death of her mother, Jing-Mei is forced to carry on the role as the ‘fourth corner’ in the parable ‘Joy Luck Club.’ Through her barriers of lack of understanding and knowledge of her Chinese culture...

...Cyberostracism: A Paradigm Shift For Social Exclusion Timothy Burke Colorado State University Almost everyone experiences ostracism at some level and at some point in their life; either as sources or targets. To be ostracized is to be socially excluded, rejected or ignored and is a distressing and often times a profoundly painful event (Williams, 2007). Ostracism threatens our sense of belonging and connection with others and at deeper levels our perception of existence. (van Beest, Williams, 2006). The increasing popularity in the use of the Internet as a form of social communication can provide gratifying opportunities for social interaction it also embodies a salient form of ostracism (Williams et al., 2002). This proposed study is interested the effects of online ostracism. Ostracism is capable of threatening four fundamental needs (Williams, 1997); the need for belonging is threatened because it segregates an individual from a social group. Self-esteem is threatened because the interpretation of the individuals’ exclusion may be the result of being undervalued (van Beest, Williams, 2006). Our need for control is threatened because the individual being ostracized has little power to affect a change. Finally ostracism affects an individuals’ perception of their existence (Williams, 1997; Williams et al., 2002). The effect of ostracism is strong enough that Williams, Cheung, and Choi (2000) discovered participants ostracized in the virtual ball toss game cyberball...

...Refer to: Tsuei JJ: Eastern and Western approaches to medicine. West J Med 128:551-557, Jun 1978 Special Article Eastern and Western Approaches to Medicine JULIA J. TSUEI, MD, Honolulu An objective comparison of Eastern and Western approaches to medicine is necessary to further evaluate the validity of Oriental medical techniques such as acupuncture. The development of medicine in Western nations follows the way of hypothetical deduction and the Eastern approach uses the inductive method. The Western approach clearly divides the health from the disease, yet the Eastern approach considers health as a balanced state versus disease as an unbalanced state. The Western approach tends to change the environment and the Eastern way is to prefer to adapt to the environment. There are numerous difficulties in comparing these two approaches. The same terminology may apply to entirely different facts, the teaching and learning methods are quite different, and the evaluation of the treatment is almost not comparable. In order to help understand the Eastern approach better, an understanding is needed of the basic Chinese concepts: the concept of a small universe living in a large universe; the duality concept of yin and yang; the concept of anatomy; the concept of physiology in Chinese medicine-the state of equilibrium expressed by the five elements; the concept of pathophysiology expressed by the external and internal insults; the concept of maintaining and promoting health expressed...
