From this culture identity unit I learned the idea of melting pot and the salad bowl. Melting pot meant people try to mix in with each other and they all have same identity. It was used to be like that my years ago. But not any more people defend America as salad bowl. People want to keep their identity, like you can tell difference among people so easily. And I also learned that how people judge other people based on same race. After reading the story about “public enemy” I know how other people fell when they are judge as bad people when they are not.
Yes! American was a "melting pot", that all the cultures are melted and become "American culture". But the media of American now is changing to "salad bowl", which all cultures live together and keep thier own identity.
