In the late 1800s, at the turn of the century, the United States experienced an influx of immigrants due to the industrialization occurring in large cities and states all over the country. However since the mid 1900s there was another rise in immigration, this time from the south. One of the large disadvantages of being a new immigrant is the lack of integration, not only that but immigrants face challenges every day. Apart from language skills, Immigrants in the United States face the loss of their cultural identity when they integrate into the mainstream society, and if they don’t, they may be subject to discrimination. This loss of identity then fuels various misconceptions of immigrants.…
In the 1700’s, agriculture was expanding towards the west coast of America, people from the Old World continued to migrate to the English colonies in the New World, and there was a high birth rate- all of those listed reasons caused a social and economic change of the 18th century colonies. Diversity became very popular during the 18th century, which was a very big change considering the fact that “in 1700, the colonies were essentially English outposts” (Foner, 112). A large percent of the diverse newcomers came as bound laborers, and their participation led to economic success. The attraction of settlers (especially Germans), as well as the use of British convicts, not only made the labor force in the Chesapeake stronger; it made the religion…
Living in Hudson isn’t half bad. Then again it’s not bad at all. It’s probably one of the best places in the midwest to grow up. Besides living in Florida or California where it’s always warm and sunny, Hudson is closest to the best. I don’t know much about South Africa, but I bet their living conditions are subpar compared to Hudson.…
The United States was founded upon the principle of democracy. In fact, the binding behind all aspects of American government is an important document known as the Constitution of the United States of America that states all policies and principles necessary in order to structure a democratic governmental system. Democracy can be summed up by one important phrase present in the United States Constitution: “We the people…” and when the people change, political structure and policy must adjust to meet the needs of an increasingly diversified population (“The Constitution of the United States” 3). One state which exemplifies a rapid diversifying of a population is the southern states of Texas. Texas has long since been a state known for its diversity,…
Throughout my life I have been part many diverse cultures and of many community that contain a wide range of race and ethnicity. I was born in Ecuador and moving to the United States was a huge slap in the face. The culture and the way thing were done here compared to my home country was totally different. The life style in Ecuador was harsh and unpleasing but in the states life was so much more pleasurable with all the opportunities that are given me. The only problem is that people where closed minded.…

Toronto can position itself as a city with a higher quality of living than its competition, most notably its American competition such as Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. It is home to the third largest public transportation system in North America, enabling residents to go without a car if they so choose. This drastically decreases the city’s pollution providing better breathing air for its residents. The buses are electric hybrids and there is a public smoking ban which further contributes to the air pollution reduction. Forbes ranked Toronto 21st out of 50 of the cleanest cities in the world.…
With different views, cultures, and ethnicities comes many problems. As humans, we are all quick to judge and discriminate against those that are not like us. While it may seem as though it is recent or only happens pretty currently, this is not the case. When people began coming over to America, and even long before it was claimed as America, minorities have been neglected and abused both physically and mentally. Racism was alive and well back in the day as much as it is now.…
Racial diversity is a great thing and it should be welcomed across the globe. The town of Longtown, Ohio is slowly dying out and along with it will go its racial diversity. We need to ban together to save it for the greater good. As stated in the article adapted by Newsela staff,” We all looked different, and we were taught that color didn’t matter.” This is a great quote for bringing people of all colors together in unity.…
Ingrid Rodriguez Discrimination is something that the majority of us have experienced at one point in our lives. Whether it be because of race, skin color, ethnic background, or sexual orientation. This issue exists in the world, but it is also very present in the United States due to the great amount of diversity all around the country. Many have fought to end discrimination but it still has roots which continue to keep growing even though many people believe that it has subsided.…
Throughout history, the United States of America has been involved in numerous conflicts. These conflicts have involved cultures all over the world and as a result we often see prejudice in our own country. This prejudice is often directed towards the citizens that have cultural ties to the perceived enemy. Having such a diverse culture within the U.S. is considered to be a good thing, but during times of war it can trigger harsh and negative treatment towards individuals that are looked at as “them”. There have been countless times where America has mistreated its own citizens because they were thought to be in correlation with the enemy.…
America is one of the greatest countries in the world today and this is because of things that happened in its past. The diversity of immigrants from all over the world has impacted how Americans think. The patriotism and courage of those who serve their country also sets the example for how Americans should act. Americans are diverse due to their humble beginnings, and are patriotic and unified under America.…
The United States is often perceived as a melting pot for all ethnicities to have equal opportunities for success and wealth. The extent in which this total equality has been implemented into actual reality is rather sparse. As history supports, ethnicity and race are still associated with social and economic oppression and abuse. For members of the population to maintain the ancient idea that America is primarily a white country significantly causes new generations of Americans to wrongly regard and negatively perceive the next wave of immigrants. According to Lillian Rubin’s article “Is This a White Country or What?”, many American citizens are opposed to immigration, even though they too come from immigrant families.…
Some people where so shallow that they would not allow their kids to play with me nor my brothers for the simple fact that we were “immigrants”, making it seemed as if it was a terrible thing to be. Another woman once told my mother that if my brother was to make it through the university, she would call immigration on our family just to avoid him graduating. Just imagine being a child subjected to those kind of comments, people like them forced me to believe that my parents had burden me with a horrible life, being called an immigrant made me feel ashamed of my roots; it made me feel the need to lie about my identity. By the end of fifth grade, my peers believed that I was born on the island, that my parents had money and that I was spoiled rotten, when in reality I was none of those. I was just so afraid of being segregated for the mere fact that I have a different birthplace than others, I spoke a different language and I was going through a whole different lifestyle than most of them were.…
