About Cultural Identity

What is your culture identity in the U.S.? Do you think the American culture is a “salad bowl” or “melting pot”? According to the cultural identity unit of the book “Mirror on America”, I found out some authors are the first generation immigrants in the U.S. They tried to fit in the American society. But, at the same time, they felt that they were strangers in the U.S.; some authors are the first or second generation American; they wanted people to accept them equally, no matter what the personal appearances are. On the other hand, some authors wanted to tell the similarities of Americans, but some authors told us about human nature, “people want to around others who are roughly like themselves. That’s called a community.” All these diversities exist in the U.S. By my opinion, American culture is like a “salad bowl”; it can let many ethnicities or races stay in the same society. But nowadays, our traditions are losing little by little. One day, our descendants will build a new society. What will the society culture look like? I have no idea! Let our descendants to do that.
