What is it like being a Chinese-American? What were some of their challenges when they started school, attended church, or started dating, etc.

This
project is to help prepare students to develop an understanding of a
particular racial/ethnic group (outside of their own) in the United
States. Asian Americans, Middle-Eastern Americans, European Americans,
etc. will be some of the larger categories. Students will choose a
specific country within the larger group. Students are required to find a
way to personalize the project. By that I mean to learn more about the
topic than merely the facts. Students must interview an individual from
their chosen minority group of interest and learn about their culture
and customs. What is it like being a Chinese-American? What were some of
their challenges when they started school, attended church, or started
dating, etc.
After
completing the interview and conducting independent research, students
will write a paper analyzing their interview data. The paper is to be approximately 5 – 7 pages (not including cover page or reference page)
with approximately 4 6 additional academic sources plus the use of
your textbook. You are to interpret your findings from a sociological perspective and apply at least 10 sociological concepts learned in this course (from your textbook) in the paper. Please
note you are encouraged to use some of your interview responses as
supporting evidence, but it must be reported in verbatim (and not
summarized OR paraphrased). You may also change your interviewee’s name
to protect his/her identity if you wish. Finally, the paper must be in APA format (e.g. cover page, abstract (optional), subheaders, citations, and reference page).
