Abstract
This paper explains that Cathy Song understands the predicaments Asian immigrants must encounter in American society because she grew up as an American of Chinese and Korean descent, which she expressed in "Picture Bride", a poem collection about Asian immigrants' concerns with their decisions to migrate to the United States The author points out that, in the poem "Lost Sister", Song compares the contradictions in Chinese and American cultures faced by a Chinese immigrant woman because American laws allows freedom for everyone; whereas, the ancient Chinese tradition oppresses women's rights. The paper relates that Song depicts, in this poem, the immigrant woman choosing to adhere to American traditions, leaving her original cultures in order to express herself in spite of her Chinese identity. Many quotations.

From the Paper
"Ending her poem, Song highlights the immigrant woman's choice to follow the American traditions while disobeying her own culture. Song begins the last stanza with "you find you need China/ your one fragile identification" (lines 53-54) to restate the woman's original identity as a Chinese person. The word "fragile", however, emphasizes the intensity of her connection to her Chinese identification. By saying "fragile," the woman admits that although she cannot deny her ethnicity that runs in her blood, she does not practice her Chinese identity further."

Abstract
This essay analyzes Cathy Song's poem "Stamp Collecting" from the point of view that the inner state of a nation finds strange expression in the postage stamp that it issues. The writer concentrates on the poetic devices employed, and how they are used to finally establish a contrast between the colorful aspirations of the poor nations and the spiritual emptiness of the rich world. Each of the depicted are dealt with in separate paragraphs. A further paragraph is employed to show the use of irony. Another paragraph is employed to analyze the moral framework of the poem.

From the Paper
"In her poem "Stamp Collecting'' Cathy Song wishes to express the inner exuberance of a people harking after the progress of the developed countries. All nations of the world are on the path of progress charted by the Western world. In this respect there is a hierarchy set up among the nations based on wealth and development. At one end of this hierarchy are the developed nations of the West, while on the other end there are the poorest nations struggling for subsistence, and yet harboring extravagant dreams of progress. Song presents to us this contrast in the context of the postage stamps issued by these countries. She believes that the colorful nature of the stamps issued by the poorest countries is expressive of a joyous exuberance which is in stark contrast to the dreary inner life of the citizens of the rich nations. She describes the beauty of these stamps in vivid detail. She then goes on to contrast this with the cold utilitarianism expressed in the stamps of the rich nations."

Abstract
This shows how the author depicts Tongan migration to the United States in a unique way. The author focuses on a "transnational" perspective in that she emphasizes both cultures involved. In so doing, the author reveals how Tongan immigrants are able to integrate their lives in America. The author's approach helps us get away from an Americanized view of immigration and to get a greater understanding of other cultures and values.

The paper describes the young woman, known as Cathy, as suffering from dependency and withdrawal issues, anxiety, depression, stress, and other issues. Her symptoms are presented, suggesting she suffers from Social Phobia. The paper concludes by showing why social phobia is Cathy's major issue.

From the Paper
"Cathy's case is a complicated one. She appears to be suffering from dependency and withdrawal issues, anxiety, depression, stress, and other issues. Her presented symptoms suggest to me that she is suffering from Social Phobia. Though she may have symptoms which indicate other anxiety disorders, Social Phobia suits her the best. Her anxiety, depression and mental issues are generally related to relationships with other people, or social situations. Problems with her friendships in life and in her work have lead her to feel she is scrutinized by others, thus provoking anger and embarrassment on her behalf, and thus anxiety. Moreover, her feeling..."

From the Paper
"The term, "corporate culture," is one that has gained popularity in recent years without gaining a universally agreed-upon definition. It is used as a type of popular shorthand to describe the system of shared values and the symbolic representations of shared meanings within a corporation, or an organization within a corporation. In her book, Power and Shared Values in the Corporate Culture, Cathy Enz explores the issues surrounding corporate culture, the various subcultures that can exist within organizations, and the way that shared values are communicated throughout an organization. In addition, the author considers the effect that such shared values have on the organization as a whole.


Enz speculates as to why corporate America is now so interested in new management techniques. She suspects that..."

Abstract
This is a reflection paper responding to Cathy L. Seely's article, "A Flattening World."

From the Paper
"Cathy L. Seely's article "A Flattening World" discusses how many math-oriented jobs have been outsourced to countries outside the United States where math preparation is more intensive and teachers more commonly give their students math problems without providing them with the steps necessary to solve them. (Seely) Moreover, NAEP assessments of students' mathematics performance do not reflect the influence of unmeasured variables which suggests that the methods that teachers are using to teach math are a black box. (Vanneman, Hamilton, Anderson, Rahman).

Abstract
This paper discusses Cathy Small's book about a second generation of Tongan immigrants to America. The paper looks at Small's description of these immigrants and how they did not keep their traditional ways because of moving further or dislodging their connections with Tonga. The paper explains that Small's
book provides insights of mixed race marriages and children, a family experience and approach, and the necessary arrangements of migrating.

From the Paper
" At times, "the migrants later adjust the motivations they gave originally, or give different emphases to their reasons for leaving than they did previously" (Small 92). However, the focus will be on three key reasons for their migration through culture changes, current political status, migration, history, and revenue aspects. The Tongans culture stems from song, dance, gender roles, and respect. Yet, the government felt that the tradition is not lasting, or shall I say, not worthy of current political status. In other words, traditional values have to be transformed or blended..."

Abstract
This paper discusses a poem "Lost Sister" which is found in a poem collection called "Picture Bride" written by Cathy Song. The paper describes the ways in which the poem collection describes Asian immigrants' concerns with their decisions to migrate to the United States. The poem, "Lost Sister," more specifically compares the contradictions in Chinese and American cultures faced by a Chinese immigrant woman.

From the Paper
"By acknowledging that jade stone can only be found in several mountains in China and nearby, Song applies the stone to symbolize China, the nation and its culture. Further, by describing the preciousness of jade stone to Chinese people in line 6-9, Song conveys that Chinese culture is very important to Chinese people. They hold their culture so strongly that they pass it on to their descendants and it becomes the family's identity, as stated in lines 3-4. Identifying themselves as Chinese not only shows their pride in being as valuable as jade stone, but also their power to make impossible goals become achievable as they can "move mountains" (line 7). The significance of the word "daughters" in line 3 is an image relating to the intense connection between Chinese women and their identities as Chinese."
