ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Asian studies

Asian studies is when smart people learn all about the big continent of Asia and all the countries that are there like China, Japan, India, and more. They learn about the people who live there, the languages they speak, the history of those places, and the culture and traditions that make those countries special. It's like when you learn about different countries in school, but Asian studies focuses specifically on the countries in Asia. By studying Asian studies, people can understand and appreciate just how diverse and unique the world is, and how much we can learn from other people and places.
