1. The three things that I significantly learned from the readings

- Middle classes in East Asia are a product of regional economic development


- Their life styles have been shaped in complex ways by their appropriation of things American,
Japanese, Chinese, Islamic, and others
- Their emergence as social and cultural formation is significant for the East Asian region
making in three respects.

2. The three things that are still unclear to me

- They are a product of developmental states and their politics of economic growth.
-  Yet there is no question that new urban middle classes are there as important forces in all
these countries
- What remains to be seen is who produces what to further integrate the region economically
and to construct an Asian identity for economic and political gains.
