Why "Model Minority" doesn't fit
Diane– Yen Mei Wong, Asian- American who was reevaluated her own
ethnic community. She really like multiracial and multiethnic of
people who allied and respect each other. But in fact only a few
people in several place that did it. She argued that diverse
Asian-American can't be stereotyped. She also said that why
stereotyped is so dangerous because it negates existence of the
important and the large segment of our communities who live property
and lucky ness. Some of expert said that the immigrants and refugees
may commit crimes because they didn't know what about American way of
life. Cultural unfamiliarity can caused crimes, but there are a few
people live in similar circumstance don't do crimes like extort,
kidnap and murder increasingly will cross ethnic lines. Ethnicity no
longer can protect us. Model minority maybe the rising crime is rate
that finally proves.

underclass
As we know so many people in our country,almost 2 millions of people
live in Indonesia but not all people get a luckiness.the number op
people always raising year by year and it cause problems like
criminal, discrimination, social stratification etc. About 50% peoples
of Indonesia as unemployment.They considered as scam of society and
they are one of the "underclass" especially for unemployment doesn't
have skill.Their existent considered damage and hamper of developing
country because they couldn't give income for the country on the
contrary they make into the poor country and bad in international
forum. Actually the government had been limited the number of child in
a family by program family planning but part of people still contrast
and believe to old proverb "children will bring a wealthy".
Speaking about "underclass" I have a friend. Yoyo he is a singer
street she came from simple family.He was graduated from senior high
school.Yoyo feel sad because nobody noticed him even his family never
care about him.He looked for some money for eat and to buy anything
that he need,his family feel shy with this situation and people didn't
respect someone who unemployment. Finally Yoyo depression because he
perceive didn't get a good place in her neighborhood and he couldn't
make his parents proud of him.
so, how the important job in our country because it as an identity and
it sign a successfully people in the world. I think if our country has
prepare a work places for unemployment our country will be grown and
has the same level with other country in Europe and America.

Christmas
Christmas can defined as An annual church festival (December 25) and
in some States a legal holiday , in memory of the birth of Christ,
often celebrated by a particular church service, and also by special
gifts, greetings, and hospitality. Christmas celebrations often
combine the marking of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and
customs.
According to my friend experience Agnez Kristiani who celebrates
Christmas, one day before Christmas she and her family usually went to
the church. Then they decorate their house with Christmas tree. After
that she and her whole family praying together at home then have a
dinner. Next in the morning they go to the church again, after that
she and her family go to their colleagues to celebrating a Christmas
day. Sometimes she got "Angpaw" from her parents. She never forgets to
serve chocolates, candies and cakes in her house. The important thing
they greet and asking for apologies each other. Usually, I appreciate
the Christmas with visit them at the day or just sending a card or
short message service. It could be the same when I celebrate the other
holy day our religion they come to our house greeting us and giving
some present.
Many people believe in Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. Father
Christmas is associated with St. Nicholas, the patron saint of
children. The current Father Christmas figure, silver-bearded and clad
in red and white, was introduced around the mid-eighteenth century.
One very popular tradition that is still common place is to hang
stockings out on Christmas Eve. The feast of St. Nicholas, 6 December,
is often forgotten, perhaps because it is as Santa Claus or Father
Christmas that we know St. Nicholas. In Britain and America St.
Nicholas day has merged with Christmas Day and so presents are given
on this day. It is fact that Santa Clause never exits in the real life
it is just the way for make the children happy with some present.
Christmas has no deferent with other religion holy day in Indonesia.
On this day all the family gathered, having fun, pray, new clothes and
giving the gift, but Christmas identical with Santa Claus and
Christmas tree

Irmayanti/031104134 "New Years"
New year is an event that happens when a culture a celebrates the end
of one year and the beginning of the next year cultures that measure
yearly calendar all have new year celebrations.
According to my experience when I celebrated new year eve with my
friends in Carita beach. It was at 2005, the way I celebrated new year
at that time are singing songs, talking, laughing and barbecue we were
waiting the midnight and when the time coming we are very happy we hug
each other and said "Happy new year" then to sign that new year is
coming I set fire to ignite sparkler and play trumpet.
All over the world, people welcome the new year for it is one of the
oldest of all holidays. Most New Year celebrations focus on family
and friends. It is a time to reflect on the past and envision a
future, perhaps, in a world where people live together in harmony.
Ways of celebrating differ as well, according to custom in the world.
