Ok so this cycle I’m studying U.S Panorama, in this class we are going to learn about America’s Political parties, Immigration, the great depression and other things. Up until now this class has been really interesting, we read a lot but that’s not a problem for me I really enjoy reading that’s one of the reason I love this. Ok so the teacher suggested we create a blog and write what we learn each class and I find this way of evaluation quite awesome. So the first class we talked about America being a Melting pot or a salad bowl (each describes the multi-ethnicity of America). After checking each theory, the first one said that all the cultural aspects that one brings into are blended together or melted, to form a new culture and the identities of each original culture are extinguished to bring out a complete new mixture. The second one said that the newcomers bring different cultures, where each of these cultures is kept as an essential part to make a whole, therefore its original shape and characteristics are maintained. In my opinion America is a salad bowl because although immigrants work and make connection with other persons and respect their traditions and follow the rules of their society, when they return home they follow their traditions and live as they would live in their country. But there’s an anti-melting pot movement that brings up the differences between immigrants; they have their own segregation for exe. Black people live in an area and Peruvians in another one they have a separation even when they are both immigrants. So that’s what I learned in the first class, we have a lot of hw for the next class, lots to read, so bye!
