In order to get the knowledge that you need, you have to integrate into a new culture that can give you the essential training you would like to get. For instance, when I started to study at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I noticed that their teaching method was really different and easier than in my country. Although it was challenging as everything was in English, I understood almost everything they were teaching me. …show more content…

it is very important to do business because it doesn’t require a lot of studies and can easily help you feed your family.

  • Becoming Bicultural

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    1. Becoming Bicultural is another form of assimilation. It entails people of different cultures borrowing from one another’s culture what they consider right and integrating it within their individual cultures. The United States being a nation of immigrants and due to the recent massive immigration, the country is led to a nationwide struggle with the need to become bicultural, a difficult and sometimes painful process of navigating between ethnic cultures. Some former minority groups are now becoming the dominating group due to their high rate of immigration and high birth rate. The Latino and Asian populations form the largest portion of the leading groups that have literally changed the face of the nation and thus calling in for the need to become bicultural.

  • Integration of Immigrants in Canada

    1944 Words  | 4 Pages

    Every year, over 250,000 people make Canada their new home. Attracted by its education system, economy and universal healthcare system, there are few other places in the world like it. All Canadians are guaranteed equality before the law and equality of opportunity, regardless of where they are from. However, some might argue that Canadian policy has not been put into practice as well as it should be. Is the concept of true equality a far-fetched idea? It seems that Canada has taken great measures to promote the integration of immigrants socially, but can the same be said for their integration economically? Politically? To judge whether or not Canada has been successful at promoting the integration of immigrants in these realms, a deeper understanding of Canadian policy must be considered.

  • Examples Of Assimilation In Mother Tongue

    People who disagree may argue that fully assimilating is perfectly fine and will benefit the individual in effort to reach success. What they fail to understand is completely changing your true culture may lead to uncomfortable result. In the story "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan she was taught standard English in school which leads to the main stream culture idea. Although she was taught the Specific English, Amy managed to keep her "language of intimacy'' between her mother staying true to her culture. For example my mother being from Salvador and my father not, they have to manage to combine both worlds of their own cultures into one. These examples show how obstacles where assimilation occurred, but was not kept. Which is important because it gives us a completely new idea of assimilation. This is all important because valuing a true character over success is awfully important which leads to a true balance of both, assimilating in situations and managing true

  • Assimilation And Self Identity Essay

    1165 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to the article “Assimilation and ethnic identity,” the author explains that there are connections between assimilation and ethnic identity. The author emphasizes that we should distinguish the forms of assimilation and how they can affect assimilation outcomes (C.N, 2014, p.2). For example, he explains the concept of behavioral assimilation. The latter happens when newcomer immigrants absorb the cultural norms of the host society, such as the language, the way of clothing, and so on. Also, the author argues that the child-parents relationship play a key role in the child’s assimilation to a certain culture (C.N, 2014,p.3). The author continues and writes that if child-parent relationship is strong and sane, the child is more likely assimilate to his parents’ culture (C.N, 2014, p.4). For instance, if the child is of Mexican parents, he will indentify himself as simply Mexican or American-Mexican. Nevertheless, if the child has problems with his patents, the child will unconsciously indentify differently from his parents, and more likely assimilate to the host country’s culture. Therefore, assimilate can lead to the person’s detachment from his or her culture of origin and embrace the culture of his or her host

    Foreign language skills can be useful in promoting American foreign interests. In a global economy, doing business abroad is paramount, but language barriers can be a burden. Opponents of a foreign language requirement in education would argue that most foreign businessmen already speak English. Admittedly, most foreign competitors do speak English, but only out of necessity. They learned to speak English in an effort to better communicate with their American counterparts and take advantage of the money making potential of doing business in America.
