Question

Put yourself in an immigrant’s shoes. How might culture in the United States be different from your home culture?

Answer 1

Answer:

I myself am part German, but was born in the United States. Some German traditions include things like Schultüte. Schultüte is when parents give there children small plastic bags on the first day of school. The bag is filled with small things like candy, clothing, and small toys. Doing this boosts confidence in the students.

But here in the United States, most kids get school supplies and pictures taken on their way to school.

Fireworks on New Years Eve is another German tradition. Yes, People all over the world light fireworks on December 31st, but German do it differently. From people as young as 5 years old learn how to set of a man made light to the night sky. Also in Germany, people will set of fireworks at any time during the day, but more during the evening hours.

Fireworks in America tend to mainly be set off during the 4th of July or New Years Eve and day.
