My brother and I
Sometimes I wonder how we could be so different with my brother if we were raised in the same way. Although I think that we may have some similarities too.
Both my brother and me, were raised equally and we were given the same opportunities. As far as looks, people say that we are very much alike, both of us tall and thin, with fair complexion. In addition to that, we also have strong family values.
However, I can't find any more similarities than those listed above. Unlike my brother, I'm a very sociable person. He is reserved and doesn't have a lot of friends. Another extremely noticeable difference is that although money is important, my life doesn't spin around it while my brother is very materialistic.
Finally, our hobbies are completely different. I love nature and playing sports. Nevertheless my brother has never played a single sport in all his life. He is a bookworm and his ideal weekend is staying at home with a book and a movie.
To sum up, many siblings that have the same parents look a lot alike. Siblings that are raised the same usually share a lot in common. I can't imagine having a brother who is less like me then he is. It's hard to understand how we ended up so different, but were raised the same exact way. Nonetheless, there is one thing that won't change and that is the bond that we have through life, in spite of our differences.
Answer: The underlying question is can you live in America as your true self and still be an American? Or is America the kind of country that expects you to change your identity to ‘fit in?’
Explanation:
It is no exaggeration to say that the United States always was, is now and always will be a nation of immigrants. From the first migrants who crossed the Bering Strait to Alaska and migrated down the West coast, possibly as early as around 20,000 years ago, to today’s immigrants coming from all the four corners of the earth, America was built by immigrants. In a sense, America is like a huge puzzle, completely finished on one end, but continually growing as new pieces are added to the other, representing newly arriving immigrants.
These new immigrants are continually changing America’s identity. It is often said that America is a melting pot in which newly arrived immigrants merge with those already here to produce a new breed of Americans. To draw an analogy, the idea is that integrating new immigrants is like baking a cake. The ingredients of flour, shortening, eggs and sugar are mixed together to bake the American cake. Contrast that view, with say that of Canada’s, that sees itself as a cultural mosaic of brightly colored bits of ethnicity, culture, racial identity and language embedded side by side. These visual metaphors attempt to portray each country’s policies and how they incorporate new immigrants into their societies. Critics of these older formulations advance the notions of diversity and inclusion as better views on how immigration and cultural policies should deal immigrants to their societies.
Just as immigrants are changing the identity of America, however, the country is also changing the identity of immigrants. Consider that on the first day of arrival on American soil, immigrants bring with them their identities forged back home. These identities may include a different language, culture, religion, dress and values - differences that are not ‘normal’ in North America. In time, many immigrants adapt and take on the ways of the majority in America. An example is that male Sikhs sometimes abandon their turbans and clothes and cut their hair. Externally they may look more like other typical Americans, but inside they may still identify with the Sikh faith and customs. By and large, such immigrants love America and are glad they were allowed to come here. Yet many also love their former homeland as well. There is nothing strange or wrong here: just as one can love her mother and father at the same time, she can also love America as well as Italy, for example, if that is where she is from.
Answer:
1. Evaporation - vaporization that occurs only on the surface of a liquid (a "shrinking" puddle is an example)
2. Vaporization - occurs when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to move independently, becoming a gas
3. Boiling - vaporization that takes place both below and at the surface of a liquid (water heated on a stovetop until it is bubbling)
4. Boiling point - the specific temperature at which a liquid boils (this is a physical property that scientists use to help identify unknown substances)
Explanation:
When you're unsure about what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains different information about them, such as their definitions, examples, origin, pronunciation, etc.
Considering that all of these terms are from the same field, you could also use a glossary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words from the same field with their definitions. These words seem like they could be related to chemistry, so you could use a glossary of chemistry terms.
