Multiculturalism In America

America is a multicultural country. People came from all around the world that are living in this big society. You can see people are combining two or more different cultures together. They are trying to learn and accept different things. Like, chopsticks are no longer a patent of Chinese, most people know how to use chopsticks. Most immigrants are fitting into American society. Likewise, most Americans are willing to become allies or family with foreigners. Most people accepted the concept of multiculturalism, but you can still notice that there are lots of arguments between two different cultures in one society.
