prior and during the process of acculturation (pre-arrival and post-arrival) as well as highlights group and cultural (i.e. political context) and social/psychological (social factors, language proficiency) variables that influence the acculturation experience (Berry, 2005).

I have been to Morocco dozens of time, I actually even spent my 6th grade there (best year as of yet). However, the culture in Morocco is completely different than the culture of the United States in almost every way; from the religion, the family, the education, the economy, and even the polity. So…

In both cultures there was a communication…

All That We Share: Walljasper’s Use of Pathos In his book All That We Share, Jay Walljasper informs readers of everything that people share, or what he refers to as the commons. The commons include parks, wild animals, nature, holidays, traditions, and anything else that is not owned by a single person or group of people. Instead, these places are owned collectively by everyone, and are available to anybody. Over time, the commons has declined as more and more things are becoming privately…

Suddenly I Became Me Memories are something that everyone cherishes. I cherish my memories because they remind me of whom I was and where I came from. Those memories show me when I started to become me. I started to develop key features of who I was at a young age. I was not going to wear a dress, I was going to play in the mud, and my best friend would not always be nice. My mom will tell anyone how hardheaded I can be, and I can agree to that.

We experience the world the same way as people around us do. The place you are habituated in becomes a routine where everyone views the same thing and does remotely the same thing. Obeying the places culture and manners makes people feel included and not excluded from the world around them. As humans, we notice what others are doing around us and start to mimic them by choice or just by practice without realizing. In the passage “Bumping into Mr. Ravioli”…
