Modern societies have evolved in an extremely bohemian fashion into multicultural and diverse spheres where people from different cultures, religion and schools of thought come together. Although such multicultural spheres hone themselves into an extended family like framework where each individual lends their expertise to make the adjustment process of significant others as smooth as possible, there are still underlying difficulties and hardships that are experienced nonetheless. Having my ties to the Chinese culture and language made my integration into a society that’s completely opposite to what I was brought up an extremely difficult process that took time and compromises.
To assist my fellow members of the society who look forward to settling in this new environment, I consider this my duty to make sure they feel less of a cultural shock than I did as helping others has been instilled in me by my culture and values. To spearhead my agenda, I have decided to create a website called Chinese Mutual Aid Association. Although my website pre-dominantly revolves around the Chinese culture, its integration into western circles and certain directives of how to transition from it into a more diverse environment as gradually and easily as possible, depending on the influence it has on its controlling space, I do plan on significantly enhancing its scope to cover a broader perspective
This website’s blueprint is entirely based on the idea of consistency with the seismic demographic it will inevitably cater to. I have proposed ideas that revolve around integration of Chinese language as the primary interface communication service with the option to translate the instructions into other languages as per the needs of the individual consulting it. With minor tweaks and updates over predefined time periods, my website will host latest content that addresses situations and problems faced by people in real time.
With a global network of acclaimed and renowned universities and the gradual increase in overall standards of higher education, more students feel their time is nigh to step outside the comfort of their little cultural and social cocoons to experience a world and contribute to it in any which way their expertise dictate.
Considering my own predicament when I started out originally as a student, I feel that it is the initial stages, when an individual starts out their new journey that feelings of vulnerability and helplessness strike the worst. The fact that most of these individuals are young adults who leave their extremely close families and intertwining cultures behind, they miss their families and are extremely homesick.
As a result of this overload of emotions, they are unable to actively pursue anything be it in their academic or personal life and are stuck in limbo expecting help, deeply regretting their decision of stepping out of their homes in the first place.
As a safety net for their emotions and ambitions, I will condition my website and its credentials to predominantly revolve around tips and tricks that will in turn help them solve their problems while providing them a platform whereby they can consult individuals who have gone through the same problem as them on chat centers and blogs posts.
To further increase the functionality of the project I have undertaken, I will also help the students from Chinese and Vietnamese backgrounds with their studies and homework by providing constructive tutoring that will enable them to excel in their academic life. The lectures I will prepare will help them construct a formidable foundation they can base their later studies upon so they can be self-reliant in the future for their basic academic needs.
In our readings we studied about doing something worthwhile that helps individuals from alternate and ambiguous walks of life to integrate themselves into a global market and environment where they can readily contribute their expertise and services to make the world a better place overall. This rich environment that is more of a fusion of cultures thrives on inter-personal relations and interactions; two factors that are often not stressed upon enough causing gray spaces in human interaction patterns that cause problems for individuals be it in confidence or physical perspectives.
My website will combat exactly that and since its basic framework is entirely derived from the blueprints of forums that thrive on cultural fuses through interaction and conversation, I believe that my demographic will make the most out of sharing their problems so a more constructive response can be derived which will help them in the long run.
As a further response to the readings that form the basis of our opinion and strategy derivation processes, I believe that enhanced integrations of advanced teaching methods and techniques, shared by our instructors and professors will benefit the target audience even more so as it is their valuable experience that will further the project’s scope and variety of niches it will inevitably cater to.
I wish that the task I have taken upon is as helpful as I expect it to be for as many individuals as possible. I am however always open to constructive arguments both for and against my idea and will always take on board any opinion or advice that I feel genuinely enhances the functionality of my project.
