Section 3 Ichiro

Being an avid baseball player and fan, I know most of the terms that were mentioned in the essay. However, when Kang mentioned that Japan had occupied his country, I did some research on that. Looking at the history of Eastern Asian helped bring light to Kang's essay. Japanese, Chinese, and Korean people are often grouped into one "Asian" group. However, their cultures are very different. These three nations have been at war with eachother many time throughout history. This is why Kang felt uncomfortable cheering for Ichiro, a Japanese player. To conclude, if you know the history of a certain culture and region, you have a better idea of their perspective on a certain subject.
