Amber took a look at the crowd crush incident that took place on the weekend of Halloween in Itaewon, Korea, and discussed Eastern Asian’s beauty standard of being thin with a professor and students. Meanwhile, as a new policy in China urging women to uphold “family values,” we gathered different perspectives on the implementation of this new policy. Lastly, the news of Princeton professor Yan Ning announcing her plan to return to China brought forth a dilemma many international students have: whether to stay in the US or return to their home countries after graduation. We discussed this dilemma with a professor, a TA and students with an international background.
