Answer to Question 1

Pyke's research portrays the power of culture in shaping the lives of first generation
Korean and Vietnamese immigrants as they adjust to and assimilate American culture.
Asian family culture tends to emphasize strong parental authority, strict upbringing,
emotionally distant child-parent relationships, and strong respect for adults and elders.
Most of these qualities are vastly modified as Asian children are influenced by American
culture. Pyke found that Asian children tend to adopt and internalize conceptions of the
normal American family from idealized images of family life obtained from watching
television and other media, such as the Brady Bunch. When Asian American children
compare themselves to these idealized images, they often conclude that they and their
family are deficient, and form negative self-images of those who do not come from the
ideal family type. Thus, public images of the normal American family constitute an
ideological template that shapes Asian American familial perspectives.
