Some people better keep their culture and others should try to form part of a new culture and forget about his origins. I believe that everyone should try to assimilate good things about a new culture but never forget where they are from and where they grew up. Immigrants should not forget where they are from because it can be too hard to feel lonely in a new country. Immigrants face the most challenging situation in the world; being lonely in a new and unknown country. If immigrants try to actually be part of a new country, they sometimes forget about where they were born and where they grew up.
Groups have a powerful effect on the behavior of their members through norms. We are more likely to be influenced by the norms of groups that we strongly identify with or a group that is important to our self-concept (Jetten, Spears & Manstead, 1997; Moreland and Levine, 2001). Social norms cause people to change their attitudes or behavior to conform and adhere to the norm (Baron, Branscombe & Byrne, 2008). When people violate social norms the consequences can range from disapproval of others in the group to being kicked out of that group because not following social norms makes people’s behavior unpredictable which can be potentially dangerous to the group or society (Baron, Branscombe & Byrne, 2008). Social norms are constantly changing and for the most part people follow them or only break ones that don’t threaten the entire group.
Educators may be unprepared to serve the unique needs of a growing number of immigrant students; schools may be unable to fund remedial programs and effective bilingual educational programs; and schools may feel considerable pressure to change the curriculum to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. Cultural and Language Diversity. Educators often feel uncomfortable with learners' different cultural and ethnic characteristics, behaviors, customs, practices, and attitudes. Nineteenth-century immigrants entering the United States brought many languages other than English. Census documents have documented dramatic increases in non-English speakers in the United States.
Discrimination regarding cognitive ability could occur at the care setting. This is discriminating on the grounds of, a learning difficulty or a person’s social class or education. The discriminatory practise which could occur at the setting is the infringement of rights; this could be not respecting individuals rights such as not allowing someone to practice their culture. This could occur at the setting as many if the individuals have different cultures and ethnicities. Therefore it is important that the care workers allow each individual to practice their own culture freely.
Refugees would not be satisfied upon arrival. Refugees often face particular challenges in adapting because their arrival was not planned or a matter of choice, but a matter of survival. They may be deeply disturbed by their past experiences and on top of that the struggle they go through when they separate from their immediate family members whom they had to leave behind will leave them clueless. Many people felt that the arrival of the refugees would only make the economic situation worse, and that the government should concentrate on helping its own people. Others wanted to do all they could for the new arrivals.
3. The first generation that just arrived to the U.S. has a hard time adapting to the new environment. They must learn the language; eat the food they are not used to eating, and meeting new people and going to different schools and having different jobs. It is a process of adapting, decision on whether they want to forget where they came from and only acknowledge their host country, or keep their traditional ways. If a child was born in the U.S. and family is from Israel, the ones born in Israel are more likely to be deported.
As parents may be new to the UK or not speak English they may not understand the educational system and the application process. If parents do not understand the system fully they may miss out on getting their children into the better schools that can offer the child more opportunities. Bernstein’s idea of language codes can also explain why some EMG are doing worse. Many Afro-Caribbean, Pakistani and
The traditions, customs and behaviors differ so much between the United States and other countries such as Mexico, China, Korea and France. So when Immigrants move to the United States, they find it very difficult to be able to interact and be a part of their new culture they are living in. The young children who move from one county to another seem to have the most difficult time because they grow up having to transition from one culture to another such as Jhumpa Lahiri did in her story, "My Two Lives" and Eric Liu's story "Notes of Native Speaker". For them as immigrants having two cultures in their lives causes them to question who they are because they're raised in one culture however surrounded by the American Culture. In "My Two Lives" by Jhumpa Lahiri, Lahiri examines her personal past and difficulties she faced as a child.
I was scared because I didn’t know anybody besides a few uncles. I knew that in USA people speak another language but I was just staring to learn it on my country and it was hard. I just didn’t feel ready to meet United States yet. However I knew that I didn’t have another option, so I decide to try my best and make my parents proud of me. Some of my goals were to learn English, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to communicate and succeed as an immigrant.
It is the way that people communicate with each other. For an immigrant living in America I think that language is very essential. A complication that most immigrants face is having the ability to adapt and embrace culture without having the fear of losing any part of who they are. They are also faced with the fear of limitations on achieving all of their goals. When immigrants move to a new destination they struggle to adapt to the environment because they tend to shy away from their cultural background.
