However, disadvantaged communities are at risk when it comes to receiving quality education hence creating the achievement gap between colored students and white students.

Many Americans believe that the Hispanic race such as Latinos and Mexicans are migrating to the United States to threaten and divide the U.S into two cultures and two languages. Samuel P. Huntington states, " Unlike past immigrant groups, Mexican and other Latinos have not assimilated into mainstream U.S. culture, forming instead their own political and linguistic enclaves" ( Huntington). Not all Americans believe this is true on the contrary they support the Hispanic people. These people migrate to the United States with a chance of coming for a better future,

I am leaning toward social life chances would be the biggest impact. I believe that race and ethnicity can also be a big impact, society plays an even bigger role on how people are molded. In the book it says race and ethnicity still matter, minorities have less power, privilege, and social status. This is where I believe that if society could change we could try to be more equal and with that I believe we can assume that how we feel, what we feel, who we have become are all part of what society has done to us.

This particular ethnic group presides in vast regions across the world, and can be found in large masses in Europe. Gypsy, is just one of the many common names this population is referred to as.

The United States is described as a nation of immigrants. Since colonial times, thousands of millions of people from across the world have left their homes in search of something. Most of them settled in the United States in search of economic opportunity, political or religious freedom, or to reunite with family members. This long history of immigration has made the United States one of the world’s most ethnically and culturally diverse nations. One aspect of this cultural diversity is the presence of many different languages within its borders. United state is also known as salad bowl because it has absorbed many different cultures and

How you do in school, your social ability, and your awareness of others are all guided by how you identify. Identification in one’s gender, race, religion, social class, and ethnicity are all driving forces behind your future self. Identity is a crucial part of who you are, and in recent studies and experimentation researchers have been trying to identify new, untested factors that influence behavior in people. Although, in the past there hasn’t been a strong focus on the positive and negative effects of race and ethnicity, the conversation is now shifting to align itself with the current times. With America becoming increasingly more ethnically and racially diverse, we must take the time to see how certain factors, specifically race and ethnicity, impact a person’s development and behavior.

Many circumstances oblige people to move from their native country to a foreign one. From this movement of migration have emerged many ethnic groups. An ethnic group is a restraint number of persons living in a larger society and sharing the same distinct cultural heritage. Some people tend to bury their habits and accommodate to the new way of life. However others hold on to their identity and try to identify their race and maintain it. This enriches societies and makes them multi-racial. Therefore, every ethnic group is essential to complete the mosaic. Although they are sometimes threatened, minorities must fight to preserve their principles. Why must they fight? Because racial identification has many positive impacts on the members.

The language barrier is one of the biggest problems people face when they move to another country. Many immigrants who come from other countries are met with many linguistic challenges that not only impede their control of daily life tasks but also their ability to survive. I believe that it is important for immigrants to speak a national language. If they are unable to speak a national language, they will be unable to function to the fullest and therefore become isolated and disempowered from the community.

In the first two years in U.S, Thomas's family faced with many problems. For instance, although Thomas's family is well-educated in China, they still have language barrier as they do not speak English well. Having the language barrier, Thomas's parents are unable to find suitable jobs as most of the jobs in U.S. require the workers who can speak English well. According to what Thomas said, since they comes from China and less communicates with their neighborhoods, most of the neighborhoods did not like them and discriminate them. For instance, Thomas and his parents were called " Chinese pig" and told to go back to China by their neighborhoods. Besides language barrier, Thomas's family having no relatives and friends in U.S. also made them

One common definition of culture is the “shared patterns of learned behaviors and values that are transmitted over time” (Vandenberg & Kalischuk, p. 100, 2014). As a result, there are numerous cultures in the world that can affect the delivery of health care services and/or the overall health of the global population. Overall, global health is improving the health and achieving equity in health for every individual worldwide (Wilson et al., 2014).
