Youthful voice: “Web culture forces us to conform”

August 27, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Conformity is driven by one’s mentality to perform like the majority due to the fear of being alone in one’s thoughts and ideals. It portrays a sense of mob mentality, which is the tendency of people to act in unison. Conformity is reinforced through popular culture and pressure from society …

Youthful voice: “Organic versus non-organic”

August 26, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Since 1939, farmers across the world have been using pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides to protect their crops, increase their yield each year, and turn a profit. These pesticides are used on different kinds of plants, fruits, and vegetables. But within the last decade, an organic craze has swept the developed world. The question is: Is growing food organically better for the environment than growing food with pesticides? …

Youthful voice: “Grossly delicious”

August 26, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

You’re probably not thinking, “Mmm, delicious!” because, at least on first sight, this reddish, slug-like sea creature just does not look appetizing. However, it is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine. Asia is where you can find some of the most exotic foods in the world, ranging from deep fried grasshoppers to Indonesian bats …

Youthful voice: “Alone, together, on a bus”

August 26, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

For the past two weeks, I have been riding on the King County Metro to and from the International District. I have never taken the bus by myself for such a long period of time, so I’ve had a lot of new experiences. From the first day, I started to notice some unspoken etiquette for riding public transit. There are minute differences in the customs — or habits, if you will — of riding the bus in the morning and riding it in the afternoon …

Youthful voice: “The ID: A once proud neighborhood now in need of saving”

August 26, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Those who go to the International District (ID) on a regular basis know that tourists have become a regular sight. The ID was one of the strongest Asian American communities in the United States and has always been on the forefront of advancing the rights of Asian Americans.
