It's because whenever you accomplish something, There is always someone who has done that with more perfection. We always chase something that we don't have and do not care about what we have achieved. It's like one task after the another till we die.
He constantly lies. This is built on lies and assumptions. He even asked for a "white female" (knowing that white people are more entitled), who is very active and does a bit of everything...he set this up in a biased way.
duffman102 I know a “white” girl who is so introverted but so smart she went to Cambridge for a fully-funded phd after graduating, she is typical “Chinese” never put herself first always shy and low key, generalizations by culture is dumb I guess, according to the prof this white girl that I know is totally Chinese and some of my friends who are Asian are totally white, doesn’t make much sense lol
@@duffman102 that is literally the point. to show the differences in culture. if you don't like it then you're just shielding yourself from the truth. and btw Asian people love that about Americans. The confidence, the assertiveness, the self love even. We are learning from you to be better. It's not a bad feature.
Sam, this is an interesting video - but you have to be careful about the leading way in which you ask the questions. If you prime them too much, you are only going to increase the probability of achieving a result you seek - rather than showing your students the objective validity of your generalizations.
Okay, western culture: prideful with titles , boastful in accomplishments, self glorifying and idolized in ones own abilities.. other cultures: humble in all there ways, but yet reach greater heights
That will be overgeneralization coz I know many asians who love to brag about themselves and showoff how proud they're of whatever specially South Asians like Indians.
When he asked for the asian girl he specifically says chinese, when he asks for american girl he specifically asks for active in social media has a lot of hobbies and gets the sorority type girl. I wonder how differently this would of gone if he got a reserved american girl as opposed to the typical extrovert
@@janlorenzabellana4206 incorrect. Americans arent as social as you think. The only reason foreigners believe that is because they always go to tourristy areas like LA or NYC. Go to a random medium sized town in the midwest or 1 or hours away from LA and you will see the difference. Also the prof shouldnt ask specifics for the asian gitl and then ask for an active social media sorority girl. If he chose at random he would have got a shy american girl but then it wouldnt support his agenda..
she would probably still answer the same things because Americans take pride in what they do. Not to mention this is an expensive university where a lot of these kids were given opportunities to do the arts growing up. Also, sorority girls are not all social and extroverted. Being a sorority just means having money. You are generalizing your own people besiding your own point.
In asia, there’s a ranking system when it comes to grades. In the west, they don’t really care much as long as the student is doing well. I went to a relatively small-sized high school in the Philippines and I never knew they had a ranking system that only announces the top 5 students who rank high in their class. I was top 4, which surprised me since I was still adjusting to the culture and surroundings. There’s so many differences but this struck out to me the most. The schools create this system that pit students against each other. It may not seem bad but it causes a lot of stress sadly.
Somehow, it was kinda true and through. I am asian too, my parents are strict to me, i am studying whole time like crazy and it was never enough for them. Then after going outside the world, people praise me for what i "plainly" do. Sometimes i kinda jealous to other parents who are praising their children, children are acting selfish, but parents understand them. Being full obedient to parents and society are having bad effect too. One day, i watch news about kidnapping children. Children are so obediently follow the order of kidnapper, because they are taught to be obedient, but they cant tell which is right and wrong, they are just obedient blindly. Same case when children are taught independent. My friend is having big dream and big confidence, but somehow she is very impulsive way to do it, i wonder if she ever thinking about consequences. She fulfilled her dream in the end, but for last time i checked, she cant keep her profession dream stable. She end up doing some odd jobs for living, and then i cant still message her. Let's just hope it's because she quit being so internet, though i miss her.
Notice how he selected these girls from the audience. He just asked for any Chinese girl. But when he chose the white girl, he asked for someone who is "very active and doing things" and therefore self-selected someone who would be more likely to be cocky. What a con-man!
nicnotnick that’s the point. It’s not a con. It how Americans view themselves/ socialize each other. if he asked for a really smart Chinese/ asian it’s unlikely that a Chinese Chinese student or Asian student would stand up because it would make you stand out individual and lack a very much culturally valued ideal of being humble
East are more humble and reserved but when they let it out they got pure abilities west are more out going a little bit reserved with some abilities also both part are good but just in my opinion I pick east style being humble but with skills is really cool
@Huan Xu Well its part of the sociological context of the class. Isn't it interesting that someone from her culture tweeted about her right there. It shows another difference between Western and Asian culture. White Western culture is very self-deprecating when compared to Asian and sometimes even African cultures (See: Moral Black Man character trope)
This prof has some fetish with china. It's like we are supposed to believe that East Asian culture is just chinese culture or that East Asian culture is the most different to the western one. It isn't
+Dave WA doesn't matter what country was historically influenced point is there is no one East Asian culture because of how different the countries are. which really has to do with the political system. The only people who lump them together as part of the sinosphere or greater East Asian cultural area or whatever are just wanna be nazis
I totally agree, he's just using leading questions to get their responses to "fit" into the categories he made up. Yet he teaches social sciences. More like teaching his own personal opinions!
So after watching the video and reading the comments, btw hi from 2020 (I miss going to lectures but COVID), I feel like the prof makes very good points. His comment about the international student not expected to do well on the English exam is based on what he was explaining from the experiment. I took a first year sociology course as well and there was something similar to this in one chapter where they explain how our culture and societal norms start in our childhood. It is the people that surround us from a young age that shapes how we see ourselves and the world in front of us. So for the international student who admits that her parents don’t outwardly show affection and praise is expected to say “My math is good but my English was not so good”. As a Chinese person raise in Canada, people would look at me and assume the same thing, because of their perception of the outside world that they learnt growing up is “most Chinese people are good at math but not so good at English”. That is their perception until they find out I’m an English and Business major who is terrible at math. At the end, where someone tweeted about the sorority girl, had a different perception. Their view of the girl who was white and confident in speaking about her accomplishments lacks the acknowledgment of how she grew up culturally and socially. With parents who praised her inwardly and outwardly, she felt that it was acceptable to outwardly express her achievements. Both are not bad, both are different and some might like one over the other but this is only based on majority. Sociology looks at the culture and society as a whole which means they don’t always point out the outliers. Other sociology courses delve deeper at specific cultures and societies but that usually in the upper year courses. So yeah, maybe you can check out those instead!
victorvien they do it to validate themselves. Asian parents dont cheer up their kids. They cheer up themselves. Like how much of great parent they are to raise such a talent. Kids get none of that appreciation
Jeremy The Cool if you want attention, you show off to people who your kid doesnt know. You might be mistaking west for east. As I seen people in west are disappointed with their kids no achievements. No offense
The Math system in Asian countries is so much more highly advanced than our system here in US. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are smarter than Americans. .

I mean in the 90s may be, but not every parents or kids underestimate their ability. well, you can say the one who go the State is more likely to be like that because they study or work hard to get to the State, but there are cocky person and spoil parents that brag about score and everything in the East. Well, I mean the argument could be true becuz one act like in the west is considered crazy or not-normal in Asia, but people like that is all over the place here and they are pretty good climbing to the top (could be and usually in the bad way). So preserved and humble Asia boys and girl, please put yourself out there. Please!
Hmmm, he seems to think Western just means American. Western actually covers a lot of different nationalities and most of us are very different culturally and in our outlook on the rest of the world from Americans. Too much generalisation of both Asians and Westerners, which is ironic in someone telling everyone else not to generalise.
I don’t like this... I find it uncomfortable... Also it kind of made me upset when he said that nobody expected her to score well on the English test and he stumbles on his words a lot.
Her face when he specifically asked about the math portion made me feel so bad! Even if he didn’t mean it that way, it totally seemed like he was asking that because of the stereotype that all Asians are good at math. And then he totally dismissed her when it came to the English sections. I’m a native speaker and English was always my best subject, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she scored higher than I did in the English section. Speaking is always the hardest part of any language, and she speaks so well that she’s probably really good at writing and reading comprehension.
what he meant at that is that as she wasn´t American she wasn´t required or expected to excel at a language that isn´t her native one. the same way an American that goes to China isn´t expected to be excellent in Mandarin or Cantonese
In mostly asia let's say if you scored 98 out of 100 our parents never tell us that we did well but they will ask us where is those 2 marks😂 and in case it's less than 80 bruh don't even tryna show your face for 2 days otherwise they are gonna kick you out of home. That's another thing that after an hour they will be the one searching for us😂.
USA is really unique in the sense that you could actually do these classes because of the diversity. It doesn't matter what good qualities any of the different cultures have, because in the US you have all of the good qualities. USA is a country made up of H1-B, take away the H1-B and you lose a lot of good quality individuals.
This is mostly true for east Asian cultural but when it comes to South Asians specifically Indians then no one can come to close to them in pride, overrestimating, showoff, nationalism etc.
To be frank, this professor seems to be ignorant of Asian culture. He is making generalizations from a White guy's perspective. How will he educate his students about Asian culture if he himself does not know enough about it? He is making a lot of prejudiced assumptions in my opinion.
@@DayGrin_ "In survey question after survey question, a pattern emerged: Black women consistently reported higher self-esteem than white or Hispanic women and-among other things-they were far more likely to describe themselves as successful (44 percent said so, compared with 30 percent of white women and 21 percent of Hispanic) and beautiful (59 percent, versus 25 and 32 percent). That’s consistent with other studies, says Jean Twenge, Ph.D., who has examined the effect of race on self-confidence. “Research shows black women score higher on self-esteem than women of other races and ethnicities, which may seem surprising, given the long history of prejudice and discrimination they have faced," she said."
@@schmolywar I am a young black women myself, being 18 and that comes from what we've been taught. I am not confident in myself, however in the black community we try to make it an importance for ourselves to know that bigger lips and bigger hips are beautiful. Just like curly kinky hair, darker skin and even a bigger nose despite the western beauty standards. That's probably where it comes from. So that said, being a minority, you have to make sure your self esteem is in tact I don't think it's a bad thing, but I hope minorities, not just black women, should be more confident in themselves and strive for something greater Hey, I'm even trying to become a doctor. We'll see how that goes 😅
I love the dynamic of authority. Just like how so many people followed the ludicrous Nazi regime because of the astounding authority and sharp uniforms. This class is completely reserved and obedient to all the crazy things the professor throws out but the second Jack says something along the same lines the class goes wild.
It's like we are supposed to believe that there's no difference between china japan South Korea. Or that the most different culture to western culture is East Asian. And people pay $50k for this garbage. A fucking shame for everyone involved
This professor lmao. "West", you mean American stereotypes. American culture is very different from say Canadian or British culture, we're quite dead inside and have no self confidence whatsoever. "East", you mean whatever stereotyped ideas you have about China? And carefully selecting two people who will fit the narrative.
using only USA to represent the entire western culture is such an arrogant act, for example in the UK, people don't always glorify themselves as Americans do. It is just not right
What "Jack " said in that tweet just shows how fucked up America is! just know that shit just doesn't go down in the UK. That is cyber bullying and its hella OLD. That shit should have been left in 2015 ffs!!!!!!1
he was talking about east asia but he couldn't take a korean volunteer.. seems like he's fixated on china and doesn't really know anything about other countries
and where is your basis for all this information? you chose students to get the results you want; this is not a good showing or proper representation of either group. these perpetuate stereotypical representations from an ignorant perspective. i want to throw up.
Hi Prof, don’t forget it’s uni in western society! ! The rules for seeing or valuing things r already there ! U not teaching anything there and u r just trying to do the politics ! Yes you must get funds about it!
I know the point is to show orientalism in a way that even frat boys can understand but this professor just violates so many basic ethical codes its hard to take this seriously...so glad i didnt go to a big university
@Flow Em bro. Dont use that term if you dont know what it means. Every experiment, every project involving people and participants, must include BY law some form of ethical procedure. Thats called being HUMANE. Its especially important in sociology because research is invasive to peoples privacy. I know he was just doing a demonstration but i feel like he doesnt even acknowledge these codes at all. Thats all it is, nothing political at all.
Exactly. Take for example when the Chinese girl did not fit into his stereotype because she uses Instagram, he brushed it off saying that is her Americanized side. Sharing achievements with friends is strictly western culture? Life is not black and white, brah.
Okay this is what annoys me. These Asian students in this class that “represent” their culture and is called to volunteer are horrible representations of Asian culture. Like I’m sorry and not trying to be mean but they don’t really have the ability in issuing english to really express how is really is to be asian. What they say isn’t all there is.
i'm gonna be honest, this professor is kind of gross. lumping all East Asian cultures together, perpetuating the model minority myth, it's just really annoying to watch.
+Ishi Gandalf you are trying too hard yawning has nothing to do with us or our peoples culture or whatever the hell it's considered impolite if that was done anywhere. But even then who cares maybe she has a good reason to do it. No need to be so uppity and dramatic about it acting like that isnt going to make you more asian
@@btsxmbti-wwh4382 wtf my family is a normal family in china and my dad has a land rover discovery and my mom drives a Eclass. sorry pal ease your ignorance
Using leading and close ended questions to get their responses to "fit" into those PowerPoint catergories he made up serves us no purpose. Very poorly executed example of what he's trying to teach. More like proving his own opinions rather than facts. This guy should not be a social sciences lecturer.
Bullshit sampling error. He deliberately picked the asian girl who's not volenteering so he knows she is not that confident. And then said "I want a very outgoing very involves white girl to volunteer". Of course the result is predictable.
I have watched many of this professors videos and I am always amazed at the low level of intelligent thinking of the student body at Penn State. But I am also baffled at the lack of thorough understanding of the subject by the professor. Why do I say this: well Asian culture “lack of putting themselves out there” has nothing to do with them being humble. Asian people are the most insecure people on the planet. They live to show “status” because they can distinguish themselves that way. They all live super luxury brands and love to show that they can afford it. But why do they not talk about achievements or broadcast it? Because of the fear of failure. To be “out there” and fail is the biggest embarrassment. So they fail in silence- no one knows. In western culture -particularly American- failure is less embarrassing- Americans think so you fail- try again- did you give it your all?
Whomever is working on the audio needs to step their bars up lol
The trick is to have a balance of the two, a balance of humility and conscientiousness.
My father told me that he is proud of me. ONLY ONE TIME. Back in 1998 when I told him that I was at the top of the class.
Probably repeating what he got from his parents

Well, I mean the argument could be true becuz one act like in the west is considered crazy or not-normal in Asia, but people like that is all over the place here and they are pretty good climbing to the top (could be and usually in the bad way). So preserved and humble Asia boys and girl, please put yourself out there. Please!
What did she say? Starty-ish? 5:21
Hmmm, he seems to think Western just means American.
Western actually covers a lot of different nationalities and most of us are very different culturally and in our outlook on the rest of the world from Americans.
Too much generalisation of both Asians and Westerners, which is ironic in someone telling everyone else not to generalise.
5:24 I think she just had a stroke from hearing her score.
Lets make his videos viral to show how inept he is. Or how inept Penn State is in hiring their educators
Here’s what I got from this...a child’s attitude depends on how their parents raised them.
somebody raise their hand and put this dude on the spot:
"Everyone tells me sociology is a dead-end profession - true?"
No comprende
Her raspy voice is cute
Ha ha ha fun class
What's up dawg
Sound director needs lots of efforts here
I can't hear
It's awkward to get cheered on by my parents.
yea, it feels like getting a participation trophy.
7:15 She looked.
The Asian cutie is what am into
"I need, ideally, a Chinese female."
I don’t like this... I find it uncomfortable...
Also it kind of made me upset when he said that nobody expected her to score well on the English test and he stumbles on his words a lot.
Her face when he specifically asked about the math portion made me feel so bad! Even if he didn’t mean it that way, it totally seemed like he was asking that because of the stereotype that all Asians are good at math. And then he totally dismissed her when it came to the English sections. I’m a native speaker and English was always my best subject, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she scored higher than I did in the English section. Speaking is always the hardest part of any language, and she speaks so well that she’s probably really good at writing and reading comprehension.
what he meant at that is that as she wasn´t American she wasn´t required or expected to excel at a language that isn´t her native one. the same way an American that goes to China isn´t expected to be excellent in Mandarin or Cantonese
It’s true that Asians tend to underestimate their abilities and think their achievements are normal and not something to brag.
SR acts more like a 'talk-show host' than a U. prof. What, exactly is he trying to prove? Himself?
Yea
This dude seems like a creep standing too close to the chinese girl and grabbing her randomly u could tell she was uncomfortable
He tryna hit
In mostly asia let's say if you scored 98 out of 100 our parents never tell us that we did well but they will ask us where is those 2 marks😂 and in case it's less than 80 bruh don't even tryna show your face for 2 days otherwise they are gonna kick you out of home. That's another thing that after an hour they will be the one searching for us😂.
Yo yo yo
USA is really unique in the sense that you could actually do these classes because of the diversity. It doesn't matter what good qualities any of the different cultures have, because in the US you have all of the good qualities. USA is a country made up of H1-B, take away the H1-B and you lose a lot of good quality individuals.
Why did people say wuuuu the white girl and not the asian smh.
That is a sampling bias of some degree. Right?
This is mostly true for east Asian cultural but when it comes to South Asians specifically Indians then no one can come to close to them in pride, overrestimating, showoff, nationalism etc.
If anyone has it, they can flaunt it
I can see that 😂
2:32 WTF man. My ears were bleeding.
To be frank, this professor seems to be ignorant of Asian culture. He is making generalizations from a White guy's perspective. How will he educate his students about Asian culture if he himself does not know enough about it? He is making a lot of prejudiced assumptions in my opinion.
He's just telling other white people that white people are often ignorant of other cultures, and he's leading by example.
西方的个人主义可能使得自我认可在西方社起到重要的维持作用，但我们也看到西方社会的信任泡沫，人际关系分子化，个人英雄主义带来的强者话语权社会撕裂，本质里与公平的民主社会相违背，自我评价高即使西方社会运转保有程序动力，也分化固化了等级。谦逊这样的品质长远来看，在人类世界有限资源争夺的过程中绝对是更加文明的沟通方式，平和的通过行动理解对方不但是东方自古以来的文明提现，也反衬他西方需要通过圈定领地一般急需证明力量和资产的焦虑。这里说的不是以国家为单位的政治外交，只是普通人面临的社会状态。
知道毕业很久才觉得不论在哪里，一个人一个教授的思想有能力影响这么多学生是可笑而不合理的。谁也不能保证自己的角度的合理性，即便是基础教育也会在最基本的对事物认识的最初埋下对社会解析角度的种子。
当然我也理解每个社会都需要用教育抢占社会结构的解释权，毕竟人的认知是世界上最宝贵的资源，贵于资源贵于金钱，希望在国外留学的朋友更多接触不同的理解角度，从更大的角度看待东西方的差异，看待社会制度在不同处境下的优劣
Now bring up a black girl and see the self-overestimation skyrocket!
Wdym by that. I want to hear your thoughts
@@DayGrin_ "In survey question after survey question, a pattern emerged: Black women consistently reported higher self-esteem than white or Hispanic women and-among other things-they were far more likely to describe themselves as successful (44 percent said so, compared with 30 percent of white women and 21 percent of Hispanic) and beautiful (59 percent, versus 25 and 32 percent). That’s consistent with other studies, says Jean Twenge, Ph.D., who has examined the effect of race on self-confidence. “Research shows black women score higher on self-esteem than women of other races and ethnicities, which may seem surprising, given the long history of prejudice and discrimination they have faced," she said."
@@schmolywar I am a young black women myself, being 18 and that comes from what we've been taught. I am not confident in myself, however in the black community we try to make it an importance for ourselves to know that bigger lips and bigger hips are beautiful. Just like curly kinky hair, darker skin and even a bigger nose despite the western beauty standards. That's probably where it comes from. So that said, being a minority, you have to make sure your self esteem is in tact
I don't think it's a bad thing, but I hope minorities, not just black women, should be more confident in themselves and strive for something greater
Hey, I'm even trying to become a doctor. We'll see how that goes 😅
I don’t liiiikkkkkeee thiiiiissss!!!!!!!!
Nahh if i got 4.0 my parents would bragg to my relatives
She is from Philly. That is not 'west'. It is another World.
I’m not American, mind telling me why’s that
I love the dynamic of authority. Just like how so many people followed the ludicrous Nazi regime because of the astounding authority and sharp uniforms. This class is completely reserved and obedient to all the crazy things the professor throws out but the second Jack says something along the same lines the class goes wild.
It's like we are supposed to believe that there's no difference between china japan South Korea. Or that the most different culture to western culture is East Asian. And people pay $50k for this garbage. A fucking shame for everyone involved
He does this all semester, yet he has not memorized the bullet points, and not mastered how ask questions. LOL it was fun tho,
This professor lmao. "West", you mean American stereotypes. American culture is very different from say Canadian or British culture, we're quite dead inside and have no self confidence whatsoever. "East", you mean whatever stereotyped ideas you have about China? And carefully selecting two people who will fit the narrative.
It’s nice seeing all the Asian under the comment section arguing, they think they know all lol
U guys ain’t East Asian lol😂😂😂
This professor is kinda stereotypical.... Like don’t judge ethnicity based of one person’s character 🙄
This days its changing but for most Asians it kinda true about this
using only USA to represent the entire western culture is such an arrogant act, for example in the UK, people don't always glorify themselves as Americans do. It is just not right
Dude had to beg a Chinese person to participate
What "Jack " said in that tweet just shows how fucked up America is! just know that shit just doesn't go down in the UK. That is cyber bullying and its hella OLD. That shit should have been left in 2015 ffs!!!!!!1
I hope this is sarcasm because it sounds nuts if you read it seriously
@@falconpunch1513 Whats nuts about it? Why make fun of the girl and make her feel uncomfortable. Unnecessary.
In fact, the whole modern western history was just making big troubles for all human beings!
I tired the way he speak and talk.. I can't breathe
he was talking about east asia but he couldn't take a korean volunteer.. seems like he's fixated on china and doesn't really know anything about other countries
mjuklo5 China is the most important and since Korea and Japan inherited Chinese values, it comes to the same.
@@alcyonecrucis if they have the same values why didn't he take a korean then..
I think it is because Korea is more Americanized?
and where is your basis for all this information? you chose students to get the results you want; this is not a good showing or proper representation of either group. these perpetuate stereotypical representations from an ignorant perspective. i want to throw up.
Hi Prof, don’t forget it’s uni in western society! ! The rules for seeing or valuing things r already there ! U not teaching anything there and u r just trying to do the politics ! Yes you must get funds about it!
I beat her ;) I got a 35 on my ACT math XDD
She said 30ish. Means that she could have scored higher than 35
Jeez, how much did you study for your ACT
I think I got like a 29. In my defense, I didn't start studying until the day before the test.
You went to UPenn so I'm not surprised.
@@bogoss3178 So she aced it and got a 36? Could be ;)
I know the point is to show orientalism in a way that even frat boys can understand but this professor just violates so many basic ethical codes its hard to take this seriously...so glad i didnt go to a big university
@Flow Em bro. Dont use that term if you dont know what it means. Every experiment, every project involving people and participants, must include BY law some form of ethical procedure. Thats called being HUMANE. Its especially important in sociology because research is invasive to peoples privacy. I know he was just doing a demonstration but i feel like he doesnt even acknowledge these codes at all. Thats all it is, nothing political at all.
Exactly. Take for example when the Chinese girl did not fit into his stereotype because she uses Instagram, he brushed it off saying that is her Americanized side. Sharing achievements with friends is strictly western culture? Life is not black and white, brah.
+Cash4Fruit the prof is a low key fascist who tries too hard to be asian
True true
Interesting that he picked a white girl for American...
Okay this is what annoys me. These Asian students in this class that “represent” their culture and is called to volunteer are horrible representations of Asian culture. Like I’m sorry and not trying to be mean but they don’t really have the ability in issuing english to really express how is really is to be asian. What they say isn’t all there is.
i'm gonna be honest, this professor is kind of gross. lumping all East Asian cultures together, perpetuating the model minority myth, it's just really annoying to watch.
Ashley is the typical rude American girl. She is standing there yawning.
Yawning isn't rude stop being so uppity
Or a chinese/asian try hard
@@falconpunch1513 what yawning infront of a teacher discussing? That's a big rude sign for us.
+ArcticZombie yeah you would think that because you are a bootlicker
+Ishi Gandalf you are trying too hard yawning has nothing to do with us or our peoples culture or whatever the hell it's considered impolite if that was done anywhere. But even then who cares maybe she has a good reason to do it. No need to be so uppity and dramatic about it acting like that isnt going to make you more asian
The problem with people in Asia is that they are easily jealous while American does not care.
why are they so jealous and competitive? Less social security and wealth maybe? Seems like a hostile place.
Agreed. Jealous over stupid things like expensive cars and clothes.
Cash4Fruit wrong. Because of 居安思危。 don’t loosen your guard while sleeping in safety. Always be prepared for challenges
@@btsxmbti-wwh4382 wtf my family is a normal family in china and my dad has a land rover discovery and my mom drives a Eclass. sorry pal ease your ignorance
Lol trust me its about to be 2019, Asians already they they are better then Americans. No reason to be jealous at all.
Using leading and close ended questions to get their responses to "fit" into those PowerPoint catergories he made up serves us no purpose. Very poorly executed example of what he's trying to teach. More like proving his own opinions rather than facts. This guy should not be a social sciences lecturer.
Bullshit sampling error. He deliberately picked the asian girl who's not volenteering so he knows she is not that confident. And then said "I want a very outgoing very involves white girl to volunteer". Of course the result is predictable.
I have watched many of this professors videos and I am always amazed at the low level of intelligent thinking of the student body at Penn State. But I am also baffled at the lack of thorough understanding of the subject by the professor.
Why do I say this: well Asian culture “lack of putting themselves out there” has nothing to do with them being humble. Asian people are the most insecure people on the planet. They live to show “status” because they can distinguish themselves that way. They all live super luxury brands and love to show that they can afford it. But why do they not talk about achievements or broadcast it? Because of the fear of failure. To be “out there” and fail is the biggest embarrassment. So they fail in silence- no one knows. In western culture -particularly American- failure is less embarrassing- Americans think so you fail- try again- did you give it your all?
Well we Asians fail and got beaten up by our parents :D
People pay for this so called education? I seen better talk shows.
Also don’t forget the history before us, how China becoming China is not just from China ! Ur topic is unbelievable shallow and provocative!
