Assignment 3

The article “Global woman” raises a serious problem—women leave their home and children form a poor country , and immigrant to affluent countries so as to make money, or pursue their career. The article is satirical in tone. Writers don’t think this kind of woman globalization will contribute to the equality between men and women. I agree this to some extent. However if you think in other side, these woman are brave enough to break the tradition role that woman should put their family into the first place, especially in a more conservative poor country. This kind of behavior is precious. Because they are not able to get equal opportunity such as the chance to get educated, in their home country, move to a industrialized country is the only choice. They could only do non-skilled required jobs as they are untrained, but at least they can make money and not need totally rely on men. And if they are lucky, they can change their children’s life. Let their daughter grow up in a better environment and make their daughter get chance to get educated. They can’t change a lot about their destiny but can change next generation’s life.
I find the second article “Americans Have a Different Attitude” is interesting because it makes me thinking about the fact that, in my hometown, China, people likes to behave like an American. However for those Chinese who born in USA, they want to distinguish themselves form Americans, they don’t like their style. I guess it is because as a racial minority in a foreign country, it is a way to establish their self-concept and social status.
