To what extent did immigrants give up their heritage to become Americanized, or fully assimilated into the existing culture?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The immigration experience for different groups of immigrants is different and they assimilated to American society in different ways. There were also biases and prejudices on the part of mainstream society that were barriers for some populations.

Explanation:

The process of assimilating into American culture is complex. The early immigrants from Northern Europe who arrived in colonial times or shortly thereafter had an easier assimilation process as they were more like the settlers culturally and historically although some Scandinavian and German cultural influences remained among families and in particular regions. There was also a large population who immigrated from Ireland around time from the 1820s to 1860s. In the mid to late 1800s there were waves of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe and they were linguistically and culturally more distinct and so they also created enclaves in many of the the largest cities that allowed them to keep some of their heritage. Generally by the second generation immigrant children adopt many of the traits of the dominant culture and they are bilingual in many cases but can speak English like anyone born American. The Chinese for example were discriminated against and excluded with the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. It was harder for them to assimilate.

What was the reflection on the cultural reflections

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Cultural self-reflection is a way of understanding yourself or institution by exploring how the culture you live in shapes who you are.

1. The philosophical definitions and concept of Culture

In this meaning, culture is the way of life of a people. It includes the sum total of their mannerisms, beliefs, music, clothing, religions, language, behavioural patterns, food, housing, agricultural methods including their traditional behavior in a broad sense, including their ideas, arts and artefacts. It is the social heritage which an individual acquires from his or her group and which heritage classifies a people as belonging to a group.

Since culture is a way of life, the form in which culture is expressed, its symbols are the objectivities of the life of a people. Culture is distinct from society. It is society’s way of life. Hence society can remain when its culture has changed. culture is specifically human. It is learned and not instinctive. It varies from group to group and from one priod of time to another within a single group. Customs, beliefs, social structures and institutions can change.

2. Culture and Development

Culture change is a principle of cultural development. For culture, the law also holds that “unless a grain of seed dies, itself remains alone, but if it dies, it generates new life” (Wisdom words of Jesus Christ in the Bible).

Culture is a project and as such is not merely what it actually is, a people’s way of life, but also what it can become, the level it can attain, its potentialities yet to be developed.

It is in the light of such cultural development that cultural change is understandable and desirable. If it were so understood, there would be less lamentation and wailing as “things fall apart”, since this can be prelude to a stronger and higher synthesis.

<em>These reflections correspond to the philosophical consequences of cultural debates, their denial, acceptance or adherence. It is therefore important for humanity in international dialogue and debates to engage on a dialogue around culture for </em><em>CULTURE MATTERS.</em>
