Teen Life in Asia: Teen Life around the World

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 2004 – vârsta până la 17 ani
Are teenagers in Tokyo more or less mature than teens in Brooklyn? What do Chinese teens do for weekend recreation? What do they value and care about? This volume shows that the lives of teens in prosperous and westernized Asian countries have much in common with those of American teens. Obtaining a good education is paramount, and Asian interests and tastes-in pop culture and sports, for example-are in sync with their American counterparts.In poorer and politically restricted Asian nations, teen life and opportunities are more restricted, however. Greater focus and energy is given to helping the family survive. Yet it is the ancient cultural and religious traditions in Asian life that constitute the fundamental difference between American and Asian teens. This book is an insightful and sweeping introduction to the Asian teen experience-from a typical day to participation in religious ceremonies-in 15 countries.
