From the framework section, I chose the excerpt \u2018Coronavirus and Yellow Peril\u2019 by Amanda Yee. Amanda Yee is an activist and independent researcher who analyzes the mainstream media\u2019s response to Ebola and ongoing pandemic, COVID-19 as part of the US age old desire for global dominance. The trusted Newspapers and media that we rely on to know the real truth has portrayed Africa as a \u2018dark, diseased place\u2019. It makes me think if it repeats the preconceived vision of the Western\u2019s towards the Africans or not ! Now to talk about an article published by The New York Times, where the caption goes,\u2018This is where you get new and emerging diseases that the human population has never seen before\u2019 points to nothing but eternal discriminatory attitude towards China. They are also demonstrated as diseased and cruel who eat anything that moves. This tactic of media to visualize them through their lenses leads to the US long history of discriminatory attitude towards the immigrants who were always considered to be lower class and diseased individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second excerpt that I chose is \u2018Tired of Being an Asian\u2019 by Alice Tsui who is an Educator and Musician. In this excerpt she expresses her frustrations of being a Asian American at the start of COVID-19 outbreak in the US. She was absolutely disgusted by reading the news of racist attacks on Asian Americans and became the victim herself. She heard rumors of herself being affected with virus in her elementary school. She had to explain to her students that all the news coverage by the media isn\u2019t true and all Asians aren\u2019t carrying the virus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Alice also explains how our education system in NYC has been disrupted due to the uprising cases of COVID. Moreover, she wants to change the perception of mass people on Asian community. To make her desire come true she urges the assistance of people of all races. I decided to give this article a read as I myself witnessed such discrimination on subway and felt bad for the victim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The third excerpt that I chose is \u2018Breathe\u2019 by Salonee Bahman. In this excerpt she introduces us to four different methods of breathing exercises and meditation. To start off any meditation or exercise it is important to sit or lay in a comfortable position. It might be sitting cross legged or hips above our knees or laying on our back etc. I personally do the third exercise, alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) when I am anxious. It helps me a lot. To begin, gently press the right nostril closed with your thumb and inhale through left nostril on the count of 4, release your thumb ( keeping left nostril closed) and exhale through right nostril on the count of 6. Now switch sides and repeat the process. Another meditation that we all can try on before going to sleep is sleep meditation. I believe it will definitely release the stress that was built throughout our day and help us to sleep better.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
