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.

Throughout the novel Jem has a difficulty with understanding what courage is. Jem starts with thinking that courage is somehow associated with childish acts. As an example, Atticus tells Jem to leave Boo Radley and their house alone, but one night Jem ignores his father’s rule and runs to the Radley’s house and touches the front door. Jem sees this as an act of courage, of first disobeying his father and secondly braving the Radley house that is scary to the young minds of Jem, and their friend Dill.

Will’s persuasion of the essay overall is unconvincing due to the lack of information stated about the opposing view so therefore his ridicule is unfair. Will starts off painting a scene by having the reader picture anecdotal evidence about the 13 year-old Indian boy being tutored. He tells his readers about how dedicated the child is and giving the idea that he’s trying hard to get a high education, “Ben Chavis (…) told the boy that although he was doing well at school, he was not up to the rigors of AIPCS. (…) So the boy asked, what must I do?” Though Will presents an anecdotal scene of what will most-likely happen, it’s not valid because this child’s determination of education does not represent all students who attend AIPCS. He gives the first premise that this student has determination and wishes to do what it takes to achieve his goal.
He starts off by working in a town with minumum wage and believes that he will be able to gain a better education and runs off to a university. Later on, he comes back as a well knowledgeable man and a teacher to young children in a school. Although he is educated, he is still looked down upon the white people of his town as well as being distanced from his own black bretheren.

When the questionnaire’s responses are finalised, the researcher can see little scope for formulating new interests or ideas and exploring them as it can be done in participant observation. Furthermore, the interviewer may collect biased data because in standardised questions he/she already imposes interests of their own and excludes questions that might be important to respondent. Thirdly, where the sociologist has interpretivist perspective, detachment may seem a big barrier to overcome.
Travelers in different environments often come across different degrees of misunderstanding. One of the possible reasons to account for this phenomenon is the reinforced sense of identity, which consequently limits one’s ability to properly communicate with the others. In this essay, we are looking at “Interpreter of Maladies” and “Picket Pocketoni”, written by Lahari and Sedaris respectively, to analyze how identities, environments and communications are related to each other. Different environment gives people wrong perception about their identities, and on the other hand, limits one’s ability to properly communicate with the others. A sense of identity plays an important role in communication.
In the Film The Namesake, Gogol’s life was center stage. Nair shows the struggles Gogol fights with throughout the film and how he finally came to terms and balanced both cultures. The film starts with Ashoke and Ashima’s younger years and marriage however, it soon revolves around Gogol and how he wrestles with who he is and where he fits in America and India.

The authors attempt to educate the reader on victims pertaining to diasporas and refugee seekers, although does not give to much background information on the topic and the problems these individuals face.
