Abstract

Modern culture puts a person in difficult conditions: it requires his readiness for a constant change, to the assimilation of a very rapidly changing paradigm of the development of society and personality in it, but at the same time makes it be kept and respecting the meanings and values significant for many generations of the ethnic community. Chinese civilization is able to conduct a dialogue with other cultural codes and even exercise it according to its own rules, while maintaining its ethnocultural features, its identity. The identity of ethnocultural features is an integral part of the socialization process, including gender identity. The American writer of Chinese origin, Amy Tan his work, argues that through the acquisition of the genetic homeland within itself and designing a new gender identity, a woman in the conditions of a multicultural society gets the opportunity to find answers to the most important issues that explain the meaning of its existence.
