When immigrants move to a new country they are forced to assimilate. They have to give up their traditions and culture. This causes many immigrants to feel a loss of identity now that they have to change who they are to be accepted by others.

Video Thesis: Immigration is at the center of a humans story. Where they come from, Where they reside, tells a narrative that is unique to them, offering new opportunities for those in need. Religion, background and your personal beliefs are connected to your sense of self and identity.
Article Thesis: The article "Should immigration require assimilation" by Tom Gjelton, highlights the question of what it truly means to be an American, how America having one common culture is a topic up for debate.

ReplyDeletearticle- The way we, as humans, go about handling immigration is up for debate in the United States. Immigrants were forced to assimilate, change their beliefs, religion, traditions and lifestyles, to adapt to the culture of their new homeland. The big question is whether or not assimilation should be required in the United States.

ReplyDeleteFor over a century, The United States has seen an amalgamation of race via immigration like never seen before. The variety of races in The United States has had an huge impact on the nation's identity as a state. The integration of multiple races has led to multiple minority races to sacrifice parts, small or large, of their identity to assimilate with the identity of the nation.

ReplyDeleteVideo: Despite the mass dispersion of people into America, everyone is unique and retain their cultural identity and backgrounds. Although some view the need to assimilate, immigrants are still held at an equal stand point with indigenous people regardless of their cultural or religious contradictions.
Article: Currently, America has become an immensely diverse country that consists of races worldwide. Over time, controversy arises and a debate whether immigrants should integrate their culture or assimilate to American culture took form.

ReplyDeleteThere are many new people coming to America from all over the world. With that brings their culture, religion, and their practices. Over the years, the argument has been whether immigrants must assimilate or maintain their culture.
A.J. DiGrigoli
ReplyDeleteViedo: Although some may argue that newly incoming immigrants should fully assimilate. People should never forget about their culture and instead maintain their culture heritage.
Article: Many immigrants feel the heavy burden that assimilation brings upon them. Although the United States has made programs to make it easier to assimilate, The United States is a very diverse country and shouldn't force assimilation.
Immigration is an important part of American society. This is expressed in the article "Should Immigration Require Assimilation?" written by Tom Gjeltan. When immigrants travel to the United States, they are slowly pressured into assimilation and lose the culture they arrive with. This results in loss of culture or alienated immigrants in American society as they believe they should treasure their cultures and refuse to assimilate.

DeleteVideo- Immigration is the discovery of human movement, this creates a sense of who we are as humans and allows us to see different cultures and backgrounds from different parts of the world. Immigrations allows us to assimilate and decide our future.
ReplyDeletearticle- Overtime, immigrants have migrated to the U.S to seek better fortune and opportunities. America is known for being the land of opportunities, some immigrants have to assimilate to there environment so they comprehend the world around them. Assimilation should be decided and never forced upon anyone.

DeleteVideo Thesis - Immigration is significant because it shows that people, when they come into a new country, have a different set of rights, and can make a different set of claims than people who were always there.
ReplyDeleteArticle Thesis - Immigrants have to deal with the ultimate and challenging decision to make, whether to assimilate to the new people and environment surrounding them or not.
Video thesis - Immigration is something which happens because people from different countries relocate to a different country in pursuit of a better life, however, what some of us fail to see is the difference it can make in peoples life, they now must get accustomed to these new ideologies, religions and lifestyle. This change can be quite impactful.
ReplyDeleteArticle thesis - When immigrants relocate to a different country they must assimilate to the new environment and lifestyle. This is not always easy, even when the country makes programs to help them out, this is because you are essentially leaving a huge chunk of yourself in order to assimilate to this new environment and this is not an easy decision to make.
