Analyze your generation APA culture

My generation APA culture is very unique in comparison to other generations of APA culture. APA culture is now increasingly becoming widely recognized and appreciated by people of our generation. Back in the past, Asian Americans and Asian American culture was not accepted easily or even at all by everyone. Racism and stereotypes were stronger and more significant back then because of movements such as the civil rights movements and events such as the Vietnam War and the large influx of Asians immigrating to the United States. However, now that time has passed, people have realized that Asian American culture plays an important role in society, especially for Asian Americans. Without Asian American culture, what would connect us to our past? Actually, without Asian American culture, we would not know anything about ourselves or understand anything about us. Lack of our past and of where are roots originated from would frustrate everyone who is determined to know who they are. As a result, APA culture is being embraced by those who want to let others know more about APA culture. The messages of APA culture are now portrayed in a variety of creative and inspiring ways, including singing (rap), dancing (hip-hop), paintings, sculpture, drawings, writings and poetry. These messages about APA culture have been taken to places all over the world to not only inform but inspire and pass on APA culture to others. Hyphen magazine and AsianWeek, which are accessible to people mostly in the Bay Area but also all over the world, uses writing and photos and iLL-Literacy uses mediums such as rapping, hip hop, video, and poetry. We have so much access to ways that we can spread the message during this generation, especially with technology such as the Internet (YouTube, blogging, AIM), television, and radio. Even though we use newer ways of spreading the message we still retain the old traditions, practices, and values of APA culture, such as celebrating holidays (Chinese New Year), food (lumpia), dance, singing, music, painting (calligraphy), and storytelling. Our generation, in regards to APA culture, is attempting to create a balance between the old and the modified APA culture that fits our time. APA culture is changed to keep up with today’s society so that people will understand about APA culture but the native roots of APA culture are taught so that we can trace back to how APA culture all began and how it ended up the way it is today.
