Asian-Americans and Asian Jews and Term Paper

One only has to look at the technological advances Japan has provided the world to understand the importance the race as a whole places on advanced educational goals.

Conclusion

Throughout recent history the Asian cultures have been periodically stripped of their military abilities, however, their educational goals have always been supported. This provides a viable explanation why, today, several generations later, American Asian families place such importance on education which translates to the academic excellence their children display, which in turn leads to the reputation the culture has for academic excellence.

The American Jewish community is only three generations away from the horrors of the Holocaust and the concentration camps.This memory, still fresh, has spurred the parents to insist their children do well academically so that they can have careers and professions that are valued by society.
