I cannot find any mainstream Asian critical analysis. Asia Finest:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Is Cho a bad projection of our society? I think this society brings out the worse in Cho. That is not to say he is not responsible for his actions. In society where laws are enforced, you know damn well your actions will have consequences. But we might have pushed him to the edge. When you corner a dog, it will bite you. I think it makes no sense for people to have hateful attitudes towards Asians just because of Cho's action. Instead, I think we as a society should re-evaluate ourselves. Koreans or Asians are not responsible for Cho's action. Cho is someone who happens to be Asian.
Does it surprise you to know that US has high pravalent rate of mental disorders? As an individual, society expects a lot from you. It is individualism after all. When your societal expactations are unmet, you sure have some work to do before you go insanse. It's kind of strange how society emphasizes on individualism but finds those who are different from the group unacceptable. <b>May I say individualism is a myth that sustains the existence of Capitalism. </b>I don't get me wrong I like Capitalism. But does Capitalism say buy a alot of stuff and decorate yourself, you will become an individual. Anyone who doesn't dress like you is not cool. Now with the clothes you wear, you have to behave in a certain way that distinguishes you from those who don't wear clothes like you do.
What a lame message I just wrote. I feel cheesy now. But I take whatever I can get.
So what do you think?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
