Summary
The theme of my presentation is based on the movie, The Moon in New York, and revolves around the psychology of Chinese immigrants. There is an interesting phenomenon in their psychology that Chinese immigrants identify and unite with each other, while at the same time excluding each other to a certain extent. As for the reasons for this, there are two parts, that solidarity arises from the similarity of cultural and ethnic identities, while exclusion stems from the difference of social identities. Overall, although this ambivalence is somewhat prevalent among the Chinese immigrant community, it will gradually be eliminated as immigrants find a niche in their new environment.
