Chinese immigrants to the US in the and the cross-cultural issues and the challenges

| The 16-Year-Old Chinese Immigrant Who |
An emphasis is placed on the ethnic-cultural issue, leading the discernment towards the identification of mechanisms and operational strategies that can contribute to the incorporation of the intercultural approach in social policy. multiculturalism and assimilation have been coined in recent years to refer to cultural diversity. It is not enough to accommodate the other; living together necessitates the creation of an institutional structure capable of incorporating all, as well as individual and collective life plans that involve "the diverse" and allow for the development of individual identities and collectives based on a universality that is universal (Li, 1991). The purpose of this article is to reflect on this relationship between culture and social policy within the framework of the conception of human Immigration with special focus on.
Cross-cultural issues and the challenges have been enhanced around the world as a result of improved connectivity, owing primarily to the network's position, the expansion of commercial exchange, and the intensity of migratory flows. It has also seen the most remarkable market growth and deepening since capitalism's birth, culminating in negative globalization (Lee & Zhao, 2003) Faced with this, “positive globalization” has arisen, arising from the rise of a global social movement, global normative structures in support of human rights, and debates that have sought to deepen the character of knowledge and culture at the same level. Many of these categories, such as hygiene habits, vaccination, and basic schooling, are implicit in some countries where social policy has been well established, and have been properly internalized and accepted as something common in people and institutions for a long time. spanning many generations and becoming part of a broader national cultural trend in other countries or territories, there has been no change in institutional and social “internalization” of these essential life parameters. While this is a weakness reflected in unfavorable social metrics, it also represents an opportunity, as revised trends will emerge that integrate diversity and identify intelligent structures to guide redevelopment. The community is very important in Chinese culture, while the member is very important in American culture. Individuals can shine in the United States, while in China, any success is regarded as a success for the business, the family, or the team. Rather than looking out only for themselves, a Chinese individual may consider how their behavior will influence the community as a whole. Symbols, vocabulary, customs, beliefs, and objects are the main components of culture. Language promotes meaningful social contact and forms people's perceptions of concepts and objects (Paul, 2009). Individualism, competitiveness, and a commitment to the work ethic are among the main values that characterize the United States. The community is very important in Chinese culture, while the member is very important in American culture. Individuals can shine in the United States, while in China, any success is regarded as a success for the business, the family, or the team. Rather than looking out only for themselves, a Chinese individual may consider how their behavior will influence the community as a whole. At a macro level, that is, at the level of action structures, culture resurfaces as an integral component for Parsons. Other systems of action, like the cultural framework, structure the context in which social systems emerge (Anderson & Blayer, 2005). The boundaries of social structures are described in terms of their reciprocal relationships with the organism, actions, individual personality, and cultural systems. The main criticism of this classic answer to the problem of double contingency is that it places an undue normative emphasis on the social dimension, i.e., the formation of a consensus. The double contingency problem, on the other hand, can be solved in other dimensions, such as by a series of arbitrary events on a time horizon. As a result, while the likelihood of a cultural orientation in concrete interaction situations is entirely possible, cultural convergence appears as one choice among many, not as an unavoidable rule (Hiromi, 2010). Culture can be interpreted in this way by looking at its own susceptibility to selections, or contingency. Culture addresses the issue of "interdependence of perceptions" or "double contingency between Alter and Ego" at the level of basic experiences, and it retains patterns and evaluative orientations at the level of more complex systems: Culture offers standards value orientations that are implemented in evaluative processes in these basic social interactions, as well as in large-scale social structures. Human personalities and social structures would not be possible without culture.
A culture assimilation must be able to account for its own operability in society, like its ability to replicate and interact. Neither the anthropological theories of culture, which attempted to encompass the entire human phenomenon, nor the theories that distinguish between the two, have been successful.

Readings:
We are nearing the end of the term, and have covered a lot of concepts and perspectives relating to diversity and cultural interactions. This week, you will start applying these concepts and perspectives to your final project.
STEP 1: STRATEGIES for NAVIGATING DIVERSITY
Watch https://youtu.be/Hp5SNpCtiWk
Take careful notes, focusing on the ideas Mun Wah proposes for navigating difference constructively. This is the final entry in your journal for the term.
NO SUBMISSION. The Lessons are preparatory and there is nothing to submit.
IMPORTANT! You will not be able to earn full credit on your assignments each week (Tasks) without referencing the concepts from the Lessons.
Main Work 750 words 1 ppw due in 6 hours APA reference and ciations
For your assignment this week, you will submit a topic statement and References page for your Final Project. Follow the below steps.
You need to cite 5 sources for your Final Project, and for the References page you submit here.
Review the course objectives for this class, below:
Argue the rewards of learning from others and how to thrive in a cross-cultural world.
Discuss cross-cultural issues and the challenges they bring to our contemporary global society.
Classify types of cultural differences and how each acts upon the society in which it originated.
Identify the primary cultural elements found across various societal systems.
Be sure you clearly understand these skills and can apply them to the final project. Be thinking about how to show your mastery of these skills in your final essay, which deals with immigration. Review the assignments you submitted this term and the feedback you received, to see what your growth areas are and develop ideas on how to perform better in the final project.
Review the resources provided in the Lessons throughout the term. You may use sources provided, although you have to find at least 4 sources on your own. You can use as many sources as you want, but you need at least 5. Remind yourself of the terms you should know and the debates we have discussed.
Take a look at the assignment page for the Final Project in Task 9. You will be writing an academic argument paper about immigration. Do some initial research to narrow down the topic of immigration and find a specific wave of immigration, type of immigration, or issue with immigration as the focus of your paper. For example, you could focus on Chinese immigrants to the US in the 1800s, or the history of discrimination against Hispanic immigrants to the US, or what has happened to recent refugees from Syria, or whether immigrants have an overall positive or negative economic impact on host countries.
Once you have determined your topic and research question(s), find 5 sources you will use in your paper and create an APA References page. You may use 1 source from our course, but you have to find at least 4 on your own. You may use as many additional sources, from our course or elsewhere, as you like.
Conduct research. Find 5 legitimate scholarly or news sources that will help you answer your research question. Watch the videos below to acquaint yourself with research methods.
