Reflection

Analysis

I have enjoyed the class and this was my first assignment.  When we were preparing for this assignment I learned a lot from this unit for example I noticed that the news headlines are very dramatic. This is one of the reasons some people read the news daily and some people avoid it because they know it might not be as dramatic as it is in reality. According to the questions I already knew how to write and everything but I guess I have relaxed and let my writing skill flow on its own and now I can write in a relaxed peace. As far as my knowledge you wanted us to become smooth writers and notice the details of what we are reading and writing and how we are answering because papers can be very tricky.All I know my strength is I understand too fast when I understand something and I have too many ideas at the same time going on my head. I am proud that I tried my best and wrote it a second time. I would love to present it as immigrants adapting the culture rather than immigrants having a hard time in the USA which sounds I would be honest I did participate less than other students but I was interested in the class conservation when everyone was talking about how difficult life was throughout the semester and all that I sat in the empty classroom to focus hard which was enough for me to finish writing.

Cultural Adaptability

Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs, and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation. In the 21st century  people are exploring many because they are communicating and migrating, traveling more with different countries for different purposes. Every country has someone percentage of immigrants but the USA has the most immigrants and which leads to people can exploring cultures and also welcoming each other culture and getting used to the American culture. 

America is a mix of Mexico, African America, China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, etc cultures.  All these people are living together daily each culture has unique traits some of their food tastes very good and others are very clean and faster at work, some of them are good at music.  All these immigrants are here to accomplish something in life and in this process, they have to learn English which is not their first language some of them are first learners they started speaking fluently but people who are slow learners or don’t have educational backgrounds suffer the most because they have to rely on others for every little thing. 

Food is part of every culture and immigrants find it difficult to have a burger and french fries or beans, eggs sausage as a launch because  Asians are used to rice and curry and other dishes, and other cultures people are sued to other foods. Pizza fries, burgers, sandwiches, soda, and cold drinks are fast food and they are not proper meals because they contain high levels of fats salt, and sugar according to Health Direct. A lot of immigrants also have faced racism in their workplace and it also has been mentioned in the discrimination against immigrants blog.  They published 22% worked in a private household and most of them are sexually assaulted. Works are also falsely accused of stealing money in their workplace.  

Even after all that they work towards their dream which is to have a better future and pass down their culture to their children and also what they learn from after coming here .
