Cedar Crest College Department of Human Relations and Social Organization Fall Semester, 1997 Community Organizing and Social Planning (SOW 300) Maynard L. Cressman Office: 740-3792, Ext. 3502 Return to the Department's Home Page Return to Department Web Sites Course Domain: This course deals with the various dimensions and phases of organizing the efforts of a group of people to improve the conditions of their community's life and their capacity for participation, self-direction, and integrated effort in community affairs. Used in this sense, the concept of community is not necessarily limited to a specific geographic locale, but also includes any group of people who share a common interest. Thus, a community could include a group of residents in a nursing home, the residents of an inner city neighborhood, or all the Native Americans in the United States. The approach of this course is that while specific choices of techniques and strategies vary with the group and the situation, the basic principles of community organization are universally applicable. In addition to community organizing, this course will explore program and community development. Without an effective program or campaign there will usually be no effective change. This course will analyze the various factors that comprise a dynamic program, campaign, or system change in the circumstances of the community's life. Factors such as resource identification and utilization, problem assessment, program administration and evaluation, bureaucratic organization, strategy formulation, and the application of tactical pressure will be discussed.

Later on, our embarrassed silence is broken by the scientist from upstate New York who talks about how Affirmative Action has done little for Blacks but given many whites a basis to complain about "reverse discrimination." He also wonders if Dinesh D'Souza is not right in condemning the academy as much too liberal. While I often disagree with him, we both enjoy the conversation and see in it an opportunity to learn from each other. III. There is little desire among Asian Americans today to learn from the long experience of Native Americans and African Americans in fighting discrimination. The new Asian Americans, who often display a "raw nerve"a combination of naivete and braveryin attempting to sprint their way to a color-blind America, might have much to learn from African Americans who have been marathon runners against racism. There is much for all "racialized" Americans to ponder in through the meanings of Ellison's textured novel in the context of our new lives. "Stephen's problems, like ours," exclaims Woodridge with reference to Joyce's young protagonist, "was not actually of creating the uncreated conscience of his race, but of creating the uncreated features of his face. Our task is that of making ourselves individuals. The conscience of a race is the gift of its individuals who see, evaluate, record" (34546). In the process, asserts Woodridge, we would have created both a "race" and a "culture."

One of the reasons that they threw us into the terrible living conditions was that they believed that we were spies for Japan during World War II, which in the end only ten people were convicted of spying for Japan, all of whom were Caucasian. The sudden attack of Pearl Harbor increased a fear of our people. Members of congress escalated fear of us among the American people. As early as January 1942, there was talk of imprisoning us. Many whites were motivated by economic self-interest and were determined to destroy our businesses, which they saw as competition. detaining us, evicting us from our homes, and firing us from our jobs. executive order 9066 . It stated that military commanders could designate areas that they could exclude us from living there. Areas such as the western parts of California, Washington, Oregon, and southern parts of Arizona were areas that were restricted from us. We were the only ones who were detained in assembly centers, in large numbers, and later transported under guard to barbed-wire concentration camps.

INTRODUCTION : Today, Asian Americans belong to the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. Kept out of the United States by immigration restriction laws in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Asians have recently been coming again to American. The 1965 Immigration Act reopened the gates to immigrants from Asia, allowing 20,000 immigrants from each country to enter every year. In the early 1990s, half of all immigrants entering annually are Asian. The growth of Asian-American population has been dramatic. In 1960, there were only 877,934 Asians in the United States, representing a mere 1% of American people. Thirty years later, they numbered about seven million or 3% of the population. They included 1,645,000 Chinese, and by the year of 2000, Asian Americans will probably represent 4% of the total United States population. In California, Asian Americans already make up 10% of the state's inhabitants, compared with 7.5% for African Americans. According to the 1990 census conducted by the U.S. government, plus some 400 thousand Chinese immigrants admitted to U.S. in the past four years, there are approximately two million ethnic Chinese residing in the United States today. The majority of the Chinese are first generation immigrants who came to this country mainly from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries in the past two decades.

    Extractions: Be skeptical when you read the career placement statistics reported by the schools. The median salaries tend to be high because most of the companies recruiting on campus are consulting fims and investment banks that pay the highest starting salaries. To get their money worth, these firms work their associates over eighty hours per week. If you calculate the hourly rate, it often comes out to be no higher than that of an average corporate job. Very few associates can survive the grueling hours, and the turnover rates are extremely high. This is why these firms are the biggest recruiters on campus every year. In summary, business schools act in their own interest often at the expense of the students who pay exorbitant tuition to keep the professors employed. Many of my classmates believe business schools are some of the biggest scams in business. For those considering going to business school, let the buyer beware.

    Extractions: Charlene Mano Click an image to read its caption. Wing Luke, the namesake of the Wing Luke Asian Museum, was one of the first Asian Americans elected to public office in the continental U.S. A Seattle City Council person of Chinese descent from 1962 until 1965, Luke died at age 40 in an airplane crash. In an era of civil rights activism and optimism for a just society, the popular, well spoken Luke embodied the ideals of cooperation and understanding that we continue to strive for as a museum and as a nation. The mission of the Wing Luke Asian Museum is to educate the public about the contributions, history, and issues facing Asian Pacific American (APA) communities. To achieve this goal, the Museum serves as a vehicle for over 26 different APA groups in Washington state to present their stories through the creation of community-based and community-curated exhibitions. On February 19, 1992, fifty years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the forced relocation of 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry (two-thirds of whom were Americans by birthright), the Wing Luke Asian Museum opened a ground breaking exhibit on the 100 year history of Japanese Americans in the Pacific Northwest. Conceived, developed and installed by over 100 individuals from the Japanese American community, this exhibit resulted from months of planning, research and conferring among Museum staff and committee members who spanned three generations.

    Extractions: WOMEN OF COLOR HEALTH DATA BOOK FACTORS AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF WOMEN OF COLOR Asian Americans Although health issues for Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans often are analyzed jointly, in this fact book the groups are separated. Native Pacific Islanders are considered Native Americans and are discussed with American Indians/Alaska Natives. (See discussion of Pacific Islanders in section on Native Americans.) Asian populations are discussed together. This change is made because native Pacific Islanders are only 5 percent of the Asian and Pacific Islander total and often have health outcomes more akin to those of American Indians/Alaska Natives than to Asian subpopulations. In addition, native Pacific Islanders are not immigrants to the United States as are Asian populations. Thus, an effort has been made throughout to disaggregate Asians from Pacific Islanders whenever possible, and to display data for the groups separately. Aggregate statistics for Asians and Pacific Islanders are used, however, when they are the best available. Asian Americans are immigrants to the United States (and their descendants) from more than 20 countries who speak more than 100 different languages. They come from places such as China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand and represent more than 60 different ethnicities (22). In 1990, the largest subpopulations (in descending order) were persons of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, and Southeast Asian ancestry. By the year 2000, Filipinos are projected to be the largest Asian subpopulation, followed by Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese Americans, in that order (120).

    Extractions: In this photograph, young boys run alongside a Chinese lion dance team while onlookers watch from across the street. If not for the 1930s automobiles, this photograph could have been taken yesterday in any Chinatown or Chinese community in the United States, where lion dances performed to ward off evil spirits are not an uncommon sight. This photograph, however, was taken around 1936 on San Francisco's Sixth Street, not in its famous Chinatown, at a time when such a sight would have been less common. Although in 1936 San Francisco's Chinese American population was larger than anywhere else in the country, its Chinese American community was still fairly small and isolated. By 1936, the U.S. government had shut down immigration from China for over half a century. Between 1882 and 1943, the Chinese American community had very little contact with family and friends in China. As several generations of children grew up in the United States during this 60-year span, they may have spoken Chinese and learned about Chinese culture at home, but they primarily spoke English and identified with mainstream American culture. While Chinese Americans grew up with mainstream American culture, they were also excluded from it. Chinese Americans born in China were not permitted to become American citizens and therefore could not own property. De facto segregation, or segregation enforced through social pressures and not by law, was common. Chinese and other Asian Americans were barred from schools, jobs, and neighborhoods that mainstream American society wanted to keep predominantly white.

    Extractions: Core Confucian Asian values that are common across most Asian cultures: Importance of family: Family is highly important to Asians both in terms of the unit structure itself as it contributes a stable core of activity and the strength of the relationships. Multi-generational living was a common tradition. Though this still exists, this trend is eroding in both Asia and among Asian Americans. Children are the centerpiece of Asian families and the key reason for many personal goals. Most immigrants have come to the U.S. for the sake of the betterment of their children's lives and futures. Respect for the elderly is a common thread through all Asian cultures. Many purchasing decisions are often made by a consensus of family members. Importance of education: Getting a good education for their children is highly important. Asians are high achievers (although standards vary across different cultures). A good education (i.e., right schools, higher levels) is believed to be the cornerstone of success in life. Asians believe that high scholastic achievement leads to good/stable jobs with good incomes which in turn can result in higher social status.
