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.
