Essay Proposal for Project Space and Text
For this essay I would be focusing on cultural/racial
identity using project space and text,
Using my culture, I would be analyzing mostly the identity of people and
how they are generally constructed. For
the project space part I would use immigrant vs. American born citizen as a
reference on the identity that is constructed and how it is constructed. The identities
of these two types of people are very different and I could relate to this a
lot. What construct a person identity?
Is it where they come from? How they are raised? Or is it the main factor of
how you look like?
Project Space
I would mainly focus on how identity is
constructed for an Asian American immigrant
who barely came to America. This goes for anyone else that move to a new
unknown terrain. Doing this, I am focusing mostly on stereotypical comment and
using tradition as an argument to explain why these things occur. I think that space does affect a person’s
culture a lot, and when you are exposed to a different culture at a young age,,
you tend to adapt to it. This idea is could be compared to the older generation
and their view about new technology. It is hard for them to change their
routine even if it has a benefit of a shortcut.
My
identity changes when I go from home and other places. At home I have the
identity of a respectful son who always listens to what his parents want to hear.
At a different scenario I would transition from my Asian culture to my American
culture. Things are done differently in both cultures, and I think the space
affects it a lot, even if it means switching my language because of the person
who I am talking to. The city is also a
difference, being in an Asian community and being in an American multi cultural
institution, such as CSUN. is a big change in space. As the space of education is strongly
influencing me, I feel like my cultural identity is being lost at the same
time.
