Teen Life in Asia (Teen Life around the World) - Judith J. Slater

Are teenagers in Tokyo more or less mature than teens in Brooklyn? What do Chinese teens do for weekend recreation? What do they value and care about? This volume shows that the lives of teens in prosperous and westernized Asian countries have much in common with those of American teens. Obtaining a good education is paramount, and Asian interests and tastes―in pop culture and sports, for example―are in sync with their American counterparts.
