It is designed to be viewed in a maximized (full) screen. Cedar Crest College Department of Human Relations and Social Organization Fall Semester, 1997 Community Organizing and Social Planning (SOW 300) Maynard L. Cressman Office: 740-3792, Ext. 3502 Return to the Department's Home Page Return to Department Web Sites Course Domain: This course deals with the various dimensions and phases of organizing the efforts of a group of people to improve the conditions of their community's life and their capacity for participation, self-direction, and integrated effort in community affairs. Used in this sense, the concept of community is not necessarily limited to a specific geographic locale, but also includes any group of people who share a common interest. Thus, a community could include a group of residents in a nursing home, the residents of an inner city neighborhood, or all the Native Americans in the United States. The approach of this course is that while specific choices of techniques and strategies vary with the group and the situation, the basic principles of community organization are universally applicable. In addition to community organizing, this course will explore program and community development. Without an effective program or campaign there will usually be no effective change. This course will analyze the various factors that comprise a dynamic program, campaign, or system change in the circumstances of the community's life. Factors such as resource identification and utilization, problem assessment, program administration and evaluation, bureaucratic organization, strategy formulation, and the application of tactical pressure will be discussed.

http://www.otal.umd.edu/~diverse/as298c.html

Extractions: This course will focus on the aggregate experiences of Asian Pacific Americans, starting from developments in the countries of origin to their contemporary issues. The class will concentrate on the histories of various Asian Pacific American groups (e.g., Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Hawaiians, Vietnamese, etc.), as well as culture, politics, the media, and stereotypes. There will be a look at the similarities among the different Asian Pacific American groups, as well as a brief comparative look at how African, Latino, and Native American experiences help shape and contribute to Asian Pacific America. The course is interdisciplinary, and thus will use materials from different areas of scholarship (e.g., literature, psychology, sociology, film, etc.). We will look at the intersection of a variety of Asian Pacific American discourses, and try to create a framework for students use long after the completion of the class. No previous knowledge of Asian Pacific American history, exposure to literature, or other related topics will be presumed.

The reason, of course, is that the bloom (boom) is off and it takes a little more effort (and qualifications, and talent) to get a job in Japan these days. Times change quickly, and the information in a book published even two years ago (written three years ago, based on experiences four years ago) should be taken with a big grain of salt.

http://www.journalism.sfsu.edu/Xpress/archive/fall99/opinion/minority.html

Extractions: Xpress Coorespondent Based on a study on academic achievement released last week, the College Board has decided not to classify Asian-Americans as minorities. In an article printed in the Boston Globe, the Board explains Asian-Americans can't be grouped with other minorities because they consistantly out-perform them. If decisions like this continue nationwide, Asian-Americans will receive cease to receive special consideration in education and hiring choices within the academic world, as well as in government aid. This decision is grounded in the mistaken belief that Asian Americans are the "model minority." Asian Americans have been mistakenly dubbed the "model minority" in this country since the 1960s. Since then they have been pitted against other minority groups and simultaneously maligned for their alleged success. Asians are often viewed as hard-working machines, without emotion, without humanity, only looking toward the goal. What is not taken into account in perceptions about the Asian-American community as a whole is its interior diversity. The U.S. Census classifies approximately 20 different ethnic groups under the label "Asian/Pacific Islander." The group as whole includes Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Pacific Islander, Polynesian, Hawaiian, Samoan, Micronesian, Guamanian, and few others. It doesn't make sense to assume that because a few ethnic groups are doing well with in the larger group, that everyone else in the group is. It's an over-generalization that unfortunately some people buy into.

Perkins proclaimed March 4, 1880, a legal state holiday for anti-Chinese demonstrations. The program will show how 30 years of unrelenting anti-Chinese sentiment culminated in the U.S. Congress passing the unprecedented Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, which halted further immigration of virtually all Chinese as well as other "Asiatics" to whom the same law was applied in succession: Japanese, Asian Indian, Filipino, Koreans. The Exclusion Act also prevented Asians already residing in the U.S., including American-born offspring, from becoming naturalized citizens. "The Chinese Exclusion Act...is the hinge on which all American immigration policy turned. Prior to the Exclusion Act there had been no significant restrictions of any kind on any immigration to the United States. There was no such thing as an illegal immigrant. After 1882...there are successive restrictions placed on all immigrants."

Extractions: Internships/Field Study ... Choose another country Japan Past Students Say... Be open to everything. See all the differences as a learning experience. You have to get used to large crowds and busy streets. My biggest adjustment was living with a host family because I had to adapt to the family life. Also commuting was tiring. Learn about Japan and really understand that it is a different society. What Americans view as acceptable often offends the Japanese. Be aware of situations in Japan and make sure not to offend. The Japanese society is fairly easy to enter on a surface level. Dont expect to be able to build close relationships without serious effort in studying the culture and the language. Try not to go against the already existing order here. Authority often is unquestioned, procedures and formalities are considered important. People are very neat in their clothing and appearance here. Dont wear anything outlandish until you see how others are dressed. A good way to assimilate is to join a club. However, do a little research before you join. Some clubs pick on new members or do a lot of drinking.

Extractions: Shonen Fairy Tale Its been a long time since Ive done a decent movie review. Maybe its because Ive come back from Japan. Maybe its because I havent seen a GOOD movie (Minority Report? *puke* - to nemuren: j/k :B) So finally, Ive decided to come around to the last great movie thats rated 5 pop stars on the H.O.T.-o-meter: Isao Yukisadas Go. I actually saw this film a fairly long time ago, back in springtime while I was in Hong Kong with my girlfriend. It was around my birthday, so she had wanted to do something special (which, me being the anti-social angst freak that I am, was not something I was used to ^^;) So I just said we should go to watch a movie, since I was too cheap to see many movies in Japan ^^; We went to the papers with no idea what was hot in the theaters, and I spied an ad for the 1st-day-release of Go, which I had seen in numerous commercials in Japan. Perhaps it was the stupidest reason I had ever had for wanting to see a movie, but the ending theme song had gotten stuck in my head enough (due to mass Japanese commercialism) to intrigue me enough to pick that particular movie. Im thankful I made that choice. Basically, G is about a zainichinihonjin teenager, Korean-Japanese, Lee Jong-Ho, Japanese name: Sugiyama. Set in Japans modern society, it follows his story growing up not only as an outsider in terms of his racial heritage, but also as a teenager growing up into the adult world. Its a story of learning what it is to live in Japan as a Korean-Japanese, as well as a story of what it is like to live for himself. This isnt the story of something extraordinary that happens to this boy, but rather, to paraphrase S. Ching, The ordinary tale of extraordinary people.

Extractions: Finding Dolls Bob Hunter with Miss Chosen, found in 1998 at a museum in West Hartford, Connecticut During World War II, many museums took down the Japanese Friendship Dolls from display and stored them away, since no Americans wanted to see these gifts from the enemy they were fighting. In the decades after the end of the war, most of the 58 Dolls seem to have been forgotten, misplaced, or sold. Rosie Skiles, one of the leaders of the Japanese Asian Doll Enthusiasts (J.A.D.E.), has been very active for several years searching for missing Japanese Friendship Dolls . Her tireless efforts have led to the finding of four dolls: Miss Yokohama, Miss Kagoshima, Miss Fukushima, and Miss Shimane. She is also working together with the National Science Museum in Tokyo to unravel the mix-ups in the names of some of the 58 Japanese Friendship Dolls. Several of the dolls have fascinating stories about how they were located many years after they had been forgotten.
