Melting point

The metaphor that I grew up with saying that we are all the big melting pot in the United States, however, with the implication listed beside that term I would honestly have to say I disagree with that statement or reference. The United States is more like a kaleidoscope, since I believe that many cultures are brought within the society, and the society as well as the groups adapt to fit the needs of those individuals cultures as well the society as a whole. Instead of treating people differently

The U.S. has been a melting pot since the beginning of time. Since Christopher Columbus discovered America different nations such as the British, French, Africa, Mexico, American Indians, and other countries have occupied this nation. Fortunately, overall as a nation we have been able to live in America and still be able to practice our cultures. Although, some people have biases against others beliefs, values, and norms the majority of Americans respect others rights. This is why America is one

America a nation of numerous nom de plumes such as the home of the brave, the melting-pot, the land of the free, and the land of milk and honey. These names have their own individual significance and it is what each of those names stand for that I am able to say that I am a proud American. To me being a proud American means understanding the significance of the many monikers that this nation holds and helping to ensure that these America remains deserving of these monikers. Ever since before America

America is one of the most diverse countries in the world in that it has a manifold of nationalities, races, languages, religions, and cultures. While there are plenty of differences between all of the American citizens, there are some aspects that unite us all such as liberty, equality, and opportunity. An American is a person who must commit himself to these ideals since these are the very ideals that America was founded on. One of the reasons why people cherish America is because of the multiple

great country of which they are a part of. Often children are shown Schoolhouse Rock videos to induce them to want to learn, for example, the “The Great American Melting Pot” video. The “Melting Pot” video attempts to teach children how different people with different cultures came to America and were able to mix. Even though the “Melting Pot” explains how a vast number of people with different cultures came together to be American, the song and the video do not coincide. The song lyrics would be

Many know the United States as one of the largest melting pots in the world, meaning immigrants can live peacefully and all races, religions, and cultures can live together. Others believe that the United States supports segregation and does not allow different people to live in their country. The U.S can surely be called a melting pot. A variety of writings, such as novels and books discuss these luxuries and or issues that America has. Novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford

Home to many, America has become known as the “melting pot” due to its diversity of ethnic cultures such as Asian, Mexican, and Latino. Its diversity has attracted many immigrants over the years, resulting in now a handful of its population being immigrant. Immigrants have contributed largely to the United States by opening businesses, expanding businesses, creating a demand for products, and even lending a hand of labor in our factories. Although the cultures of American and Immigrants differ in

Some may ask, what is a myth. To the common person, a myth is a work of “fiction”: an untrue story made obsolete by modern society. A myth is a story that cannot be taken literally. For the sake of making the definition clear, a myth is a story; it is a narrative; it is what helps people make sense of a complicated world through different perspectives and experiences.

Three cultural aspects that I observed in the movies are assimilation, acculturation, and enculturation. I saw assimilation in both Spanglish and Crash. In Spanglish, Cristina was the one who went through assimilation. She adapted the American culture and left behind her Hispanic culture.

In the movie Crash, assimilation is seen through all the different people who have adopted the American lifestyle.
