Melting

The Melting Pot “The Melting Pot” – the United States nickname, yet we are constantly shunning and shaming those that enter the country as immigrants. Native-born individuals scrutinize the immigrants for stealing the jobs, lowering the wages, and every other negative outcome of the economy. Americans generalize the face of immigrants as either Mexican or Asian; however, the United States receives immigrants from several other places as well. As a matter of fact, immigrants account for a…

someone so mindlessly and shamelessly “thrift” an artifact of the Chinese culture? After discussing the issue with my peers, I discovered that the offense was not obvious to all. Elements of various cultures have been selected and thrown into the Melting Pot that we so proudly call our country for years. While at times this serves as an ideal habit in an inclusive and growing society, some viewpoints…

America has become the melting pot of the world. In today’s society, you interact with many different cultural styles. Our system of government, is thought to be adopted from European culture but may have actually influenced by the Native Americans. When immigrants cross the ocean from the homeland and see the Statue of the Liberty, they see it as a sign of hope and relief. Here, these immigrants come to America in search of job opportunities, access to health care, and a better life for their…

During this lab, I compared the properties of both regular and light margarine, before and after melting. First, we took both of the margarine samples and put them in a hot water bath to melt them. This separated out the components within them- making it easy to measure their percentage value. I found the regular margarine to be made up of 14.5% solids, 64.2% oils, and 21.3% water. Next, I used the same method as before, and found the percentage of each component of the light margarine to…

Some immigrants were assimilated. America’s absorption of immigrates was perfectly promoted by Isreal Zangwill, an author, when he explained the idea of the melting pot. Zangwill states “America is God 's crucible, the great Melting Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming” (Zangwill). Zangwill showed America as the country which was built on cultural contribution of its immigrants. However, these immigrants at the same time were expected to assimilate…

and glucose. The purity of glucose and ethyl cinnamate was measured through IR Spectroscopy. Melting point was used to determine the purity for cinnamic acid. Using the final amount for each ingredient, we determined the percent yields, which were 64.7% for glucose, 56.2% for cinnamic acid, and 38.8% for ethyl cinnamate. The melting point of cinnamic acid, tested twice, was consistent with the melting point of pure cinnamic acid. The glucose corresponded to the standard IR spectra, indicating…

from freezing over once again. There are quite a few man-made ices, one being ice cubes. Glaciers have been around almost since the ice age, and they still haven’t melted. Though, human inventions and so on are resulting in large ice structures melting faster by polluting the air. There are a lot of ingredients in liquids that could affect how an ice cube melts. There are also certain points about…

Melting Pot…when people hear that phrase no doubt the image of United States pops up. It is almost like “Melting Pot” is a copyrighted phrase that only the United States of America can use. Our nation was built on diversity, it was built on the oppressed, finally be able to progressed. Millions emigrated to America to create a better future for themselves and their families, their new nation. What if Andrew Carnegie never emigrated to the United States when he did? Mostly likely The United…

experiment, I know the ice cubes melted within seconds of each other at 2 minutes 3 seconds and 2 minutes 10 seconds. During the melting process, I watched the temperature gradually drop to 80 degrees. Once the ice cubes completely melted, the water appeared uniformly light blue. Lastly, I repeated steps five-seven and the results were nearly the same with slight temperature/melting time…

Nearly 20 percent of all international immigrants reside in the United Sate today. People can see how religious and cultural differences divide each individual in a multicultural society like America. America is a cultural melting pot that exposes a person to many cultures other than their own that they would not otherwise. Knowledge alone is not enough to shape our multicultural society like America. Therefore, I believe that learning about other cultures and religious are the best way to…
