Clearly and logically illustrates his point. He writes: “cultural differences are taken for granted and expected. But when individuals' cultures are under scrutiny, it becomes clear that cultural boundaries no longer have their divisive power." (98) Combined with his ability to logically expound his view of cultural boundaries, he uses several anecdotes to further his point. Identify four individuals who exemplify multiculturalism. Each of these examples shares a Korean heritage but has adopted many other cultural markers from additional sources, including non-Korean parents, U.S. society, immigration, and adoption. Chang poses the question: “Would it be possible for a person to become culturally more Korean in the morning, German at lunch, 'American' in the afternoon, and back to Korean in the evening? In his conclusion and in response to this question he states: “Once individuals embrace different standards, differences become incorporated into their individual cultures… cultural differences are recast in multiculturalism.”
