Impact of recent changes in India, Japan, and other Asian countries on your own life

India, Japan, China and other Asian countries have emerged to be economic power houses over the past few decades.

Sub cultural groups based on age, race, creed, ethnicity and religious bias carry their importance in many ways in a multiethnic society. These groups tend to have their intrinsic characteristics which shape up their life styles, consumer behaviors and marketing preferences, to an appreciable extent, if not completely. With the passage of time, the shadows casted by the culture of origin tend to decrease upon the immigrants, though certain aspects, woven into their very fabric, continue to stand firm. The phenomenon however is more complex than it may seem (Solomon, M. R., 2002).

Humanity has to shift its approach of dealing with prejudices and discriminations as wrongs committed against the rights of minorities, but should cast the challenges as affecting the interests of all, for instance gay, straight or otherwise.

Intellectuals now realize the approach may be detrimental in the end as it creates divisions instead of fostering equality. Those who consider themselves to belong to the mainstream are known ...

- There were a number of similarities between China under the Han and the Roman Empire. Why do you think that was so? Was it simply historical accident? Do those aspects of empire imply some sort of empire-building process common throughout the world? Why or why not?

China and Rome were both land empires, based mostly on agriculture, as were all other empires before the industrial revolution over the last 200 years. These two empires developed along similar lines even though they had no contact with each other, given the extremely slow communications and travel times of that era. They all seem to have had very similar caste systems, with slaves and peasants at the bottom, an aristocratic-military caste and an emperor or king at the apex (Adler and Pouwels, 2008, pp. 169-70). Both the Han and the Roman emperors also claimed to rule by divine ...

One of the biggest myths about family life in the U.S. was the myth about the stable and harmonious families that was famously depicted in 1950, even up to some 21st century films wherein the father and every member of the family enjoys their life as a part of that family. The father works hard to provide for his family, while the mother simply does the household chores. According to Eitzen et al.
