I am a immigrant to this country and I think adapting to American culture was very nice and beneficiary! This is my home now and I live this way of life.Thanksgiving is important to me now because we don't have one where I come from! The fourth of July is too! But at the same time, I hold my special heritage close to my heart! You can't blame a person for that. It is who they are and where they come from !

Both. We have a wonderful blend of many cultures. But everything another culture does is not legal here or acceptable to do. I like "sharing" I don't like "shove it in your face and down your throat." Beleive me....we have adapting issues just like new people. All I can say is it's best to realize the new people came here. It's their responsibility to adapt here. When I visit peoples homes there's some where you sit perfectly still, don't forget the coasters, take off your shoes, can't smoke, on down the line. Others where you're on your own. Wanna drink? Know what a fridge is? Get it yourself. I'm in the middle.
Keep your shoes on, there's the fridge, bathrooms down the hall, smokings ok ,but stay out of my bedroom, keep the kids off my computer, and I don't expect a "hostess gift" if you're invited for dinner. I think in general Americans are middle of the road and very tolerant of things. It's when that tolerance is pushed
that we fight back. I don't demand that you treat me like a queen but don't confuse that with the "right" to treat me with disrespect.

i think of it comes right down to attitude. The Inuit custom adoption would, in its proper variety, be free of rigidity, guilt, disgrace, or coercion. it would be an quite voluntary act, no longer something compelled or demanded. the skill would relax with the be certain who located the baby, no longer with the family individuals receiving the baby. There would probably additionally be distinctive expectancies between infants, for the reason that being raised with your organic and organic family individuals does no longer be so completely normative in the way of existence. How the family individuals is seen-- and what family individuals even is-- is a social build besides as a organic and organic actuality, and since the social build varies between societies, so do expectancies. i think of that family individuals toddler adoption in the U. S. and the Canadian majority way of existence has a distinctive skill dynamic. Relinquishment is often an act of desperation, and is often heavily compelled. additionally, for the reason that there is not any equivalent cultural factor to custom adoption, being raised by your organic and organic family individuals is seen completely the norm in a fashion it does no longer be in Inuit way of existence, so being accompanied has distinctive cultural which potential, and acts as extra of a placing apart rigidity. jointly as on the exterior it could seem a similar factor is happening, i think of that without the rigidity and disgrace, and with a miles less biology-based expectation of the definition of "family individuals," it particularly is an quite distinctive factor culturally and psychologically.

Nowadays it is easier for immigrants to preserve many of their own customs in the U.S. than it was in the past. People are more accepting of multiculturalism, and it is healthier for the family kids if they have customs they are comfortable with, rather than trying to hide their origins.

If you are not willing to integrate into America 100%, then you need to get the hell out. All my ancestors adapted to America, so can the new ones today.
