Taiwanese Culture Related To American Culture

I appreciate your discussion related to the Taiwanese culture. I’m a product of first generation of immigrants from India. Fortunately, my family was very well off in the Indian community. My mom’s side family has many connections with the rulers of their times and my dad’s family had highly educated members. Since India was under a British rule for many years, my dad and his sibling education was mainly completed in England or under the British rule. Having this type of educational background my family was in my dad’s mind destined to migrate to England for his children’s education. However, God has other plans, instead of migrating to England we migrated to the United States and became citizens.
As you stated, ‘People in society

develop a code of conduct regarding living in society. Our roles within social groups determines how we take part in the structure and organization of the society’ This code of conduct is difficult to change or break especially when you are surrounded by like-minded people. The people coming from the same region to the United Stated tend to stick together for support. Having said that, it also tends to put some negative and some positive pressure on the family members who have been left behind waiting. In one scenario, “long absences could have beneficial outcomes on the marital relationship from women’s perspective. Sylvia Pedraza found that the marriage relationship became more of a partnership as women acquired greater control over their lives and a measure of dignity”. (Fidler, C. 2015). In another scenario, “migration of close family members to the United States, especially spouses and children, significantly increases depressive symptoms and feelings of loneliness reported by family members remaining in Mexico.” (Silver, A. 2014). This is particularly true as was my personal experience when my dad was working to establish himself in England and we were left behind until were together in the U.S.
