Introduction - Directions vs.
Destinations / FAPA vs. other organizations

2.

separating people into multiple sides.
3.
for maintaining flexibility to adjust
to the ever-changing scenarios.

the legislation systems.
c.
What is identity – political, social,
cultural are three major kinds of identities affecting us and our future.
Racial and ethnical identity are fading away, especially in the immigrants
circles. We need to and can work on cultural identity.
