Culture Studies
Writing Prompt -
Should immigrants acculturate or assimilate to American culture? Write a 1-2 paragraph response; be sure to use evidence to support your conclusions.
I think immigrants should assimilate to the American culture. I say that because this is America and you should go by the American culture. The immigrant came here for a reason and that reason was for freedom, or because they think it is a better country then what they lived in. America is a good place thats why immigrants all over the world come here. That will be like if I to another country. Maybe I thought another one was better than the one I live in (which I don't). I would have to assimilate to their culture, because if I did not I would be weired. They would say I'm different which is not a bad thing, but it is a bad thing to them. So if I came to their country I would have to be like them. It is better for me to assimilate then to acculturate.
This is my comment after 1970 the desirability of assimilation and the melting pot model was challenged by proponents so I agree with Jay you should go by the american culture. U.S.A!!!
All immigrant should be assimilate to the American culture because there are already mix of different cultures and all their ways of living and all the freedom you can have but laws are between countries according to national laws.
@clayton I think immagrents can assimalate and agriculturate to american culture. Because all people can come to the amerisa and be one with the cultures if they are exsepted.
I believe that immigrants should acculturate. I think for a country like America we shouldn't try to tell someone to change. Also since we're suppose to be a free country we shoudn't control immigrants. As Americans we should accept them and tell them it's alright. Instead it has to be a question and that's not right.
I think that immigrants should assimilate to American culture so they can learn our language and celebrate our holidays. Whenever they leave their country our wherever they came from their coming to our country so they should adopt to our living style and life. They arent suppose to be here anyway so they should just try to fit in so they wont look suspicious.
I believe that immagrants should acculturate to America. I believe this because we already get so much from different cultures anyway. It wouldn't be that much different if they came here and brought some of there traditions and culture with them. Also we could learn so much more from the different cultures that come down here, and we wouldn't have to pay to travel. There are alot of expirences people haven't had yet, and with some people, expirencing another culture is one of them.
i think that the immigrants should acculturate to america.Why i say that because we need to find out what different cultures do like what they eat what they do for a living.
