Kluckhohn - Oh well, whatever~ (group 1,amd5pa)

through our reading of this story, we realized that we can relate what we learned in your class to the story, and how the characters suit the dimensions from Kluckhohn - strodbeck's cultural model of analysis. actually, we found it interesting as the time we study the story, we can analyze among ourselves, what types of persons we are.. he3~

so, lets cut to the chase, the story we read shows that Su Kim is from a good nature of human. we can see when Julia miscalled her name,but Su Kim accept Julia's mistake without blaming her, and smile, even in the Chinese culture, they've got meaning in their name,and name holds very important aspect in somebody's life. Su Kim's family also are past time oriented. why we're saying this is because her parents decided not to use 'Oi' name again to their baby because of previous experiences (they have lost 2 daughters) and they think that 'Oi' name brings too much badluck.

Su Kim's mother is unchangeable because she keeps the secret about late Su Kim's sister who died before Su Kim was born. She's not telling the truth until Su Kim discovered by herself. besides that,Su kim's mother can be a good example of private-space type of person, because she hide the story of Su Kim's late sisters from her ,and Su Kim never know this story until her amah, Chae Chae opened up the story. Chae Chae is really a person that cant be trusted. how can she opened up such a big secret?? this kind of person is called public-space type of person.Su Kim is doing or action person, because she quickly make a correction after julia mistakenly called her name. Even though she know Julia is american's lady and suppose to call her Su Kim but she call her as Kim Su. Su Kim trust that her name identifies herself. So, Su Kim is an action person because she just doing what she think that she supposed to do. lastly,Chae Chae is being or living person because she just let her life living in poverty. She not try to changed her life by doing the alternative way to make her life better. Luckily she become amah to Su Kim's family,and Chae Chae is changeable bcoz she has improving her life after she become amah to the Su Kim's family. She is from poor family and live in the poverty trap for along time. Su Kim's family helping her a lot to change her life becomes better because she deserves for it.
