I think culture, religion, ethnicity is very important in one’s life. They must know where they’e from and who they are. Everyone belongs to somewhere around the world, even if they took birth in another country, they still originated from somewhere.

If they doesn’t know from where they are they don’t have an identity, they must know from where that last name came from, and to whom else it belongs to.Pride is not essential, people must know where they came from, and should be proud for that; but don’t have to go around saying this pride, that pride; and only associate with their own kind.

Assimilation must not be a main goal today. People must try to adjust to life; But it’s so much hard, especially when someone comes to his country at first. There are some many diverse cultures here today, it’s confusing. I don’t even know what American culture is. Unless it’s baseball , hotdog, and rock music, but those have been taken in by order cultures.

People today must try to compromise, but must not get penalized for failing at a custom, or speaking a language. Spanish in California is all around because of the wide population of latinos that was one solution in helping them. But at same time so many other cultures are growing that we can’t do that for everyone, so America and all other countries here need to think up a solution.
