Poetic Comparisons of Identity and Race In the melting pot of America, topics of race and ethnicity are part of a national discussion. The population of the United States has never been more diverse than it is now. These demographic changes have already changed the nation's past and will most certainly continue to shape its future. The diversity of our population contributes to how we as Americans see ourselves. The constant evolution of society, the changing attitudes and perceptions in regards to race and ethnicity, socioeconomics and where we live, adds to each American's human experience and creates a unique culture all our own.

Any country that conquest another country has to impose it culture by obligating its language, religion, and traditions to fully conquest the other country. To many people from the dependent country, it is hard to learn the language imposed because of the lack of good education and experience.
