1.) Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim. 2.) List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified in (1).

Jeremy Lin and Gish Jen(answers)

Answer :

Answer:

1. Jen makes a claim that "culture does not determine us." The reasoning underlying this claim is that of how culture does not dictate how one will choose a career path, as shown with Jeremy Lins story by showing how his supportive Asian family is different than the traditional Asian family that holds education value at a high standard. The family of Bob, however, chose not to acknowledged his physical strength and pushed him to become a doctor. This shows how culture does not determine us by proving a way that one has accomplished without sticking to traditional norms.2.

Explanation:

'Claim' is defined as the 'statement of something that one believes to be the truth and provides evidence to substantiate them.'

1). The claim made by Jen would be that 'A Culture does not direct an individual.'

The reasoning he provides to substantiate it would be 'the demonstration displaying that culture does not command one's career through Lins' story.'

2). The pieces of evidence that establish the validity of the claim would be:

  • The description of 'Lyn's family's support in encouraging him to pursue his goals despite they belonged to Asian culture.'
  • The other evidence would be Bob's family's failure to promote him achieve his actual goals and deliberately pushing him to pursue medical science.  

These pieces of evidence further clarify and prove that it is not the culture that decides what you become in life but the constant support from your family, broad mindset, and dedication to attain one's goals.
