stereotypes were first created during the Marco Polo’s travels to the East. The fantasy of Orientalism has been framed and reinforced through the differences of the Eastern cultures and traditions. Due to the strange clothings, foods, religions, and beliefs, Asia seemed very abnormal to the Europeans.

likely made the most significant progress. In particular, East Asian nations such as China and South Korea have grown by leaps and bounds, somewhat mirroring the monumental growth experienced by Japan in the wake of World War II. In the advancement of Asia, we are witnessing a new chapter in a complex history that encompasses the rise and fall of empires, significant technological breakthroughs, and follows a similar trajectory, but fundamentally different timeline to that of the European…

tell me; “why didn’t you tell me you were just from Vietnam.” I usually let people know that Indians (who have dark complexions) and other non-looking “Chinese” countries are considered Asians too.

Latin American and East Asia countries took different development approaches resulting in different results. The origin of these differences can be attributed to historical and social factors as well as to contrasting debate over the role of government policies. Economists have long argued about what kinds of policies are effective in bringing about economic…

Jared’s explanation for the Europeans being the first to be exposed to these things because of their location. They were able to obtain animals, which gave them diseases that they would later become immune to. They were able to learn languages with Asia, and could make trades for expansive weapons. I agree with Jared Diamond and find these facts to be convincing, if these factors were not in play I think that maybe the New World would have been…
