Normalcy: The "Melting Pot" and Individuality

Most of Shake Spear's characters are doing this; we do not express "wealth" as "dislike" or express obstacles as "sling and arrow". "There is no external monologue or our heart." Recently, people have not announced their goals in a magnificent way. Recently people have not been spoken in a unified dialect, especially in the British upper class dialect; the dialogue between Jack and Algernon is almost identical except for the content.

In 1909, Israel Zangwill wrote his play "Melt Pot", during which time the hero cried. German and French, Irish and British, Jewish and Russian - Please join us with Crusoe! God is creating Americans. For the concept of 'cultural pluralism'. His racial and cultural concepts are ambiguous, but he thinks that true democracy requires a multicultural society. Democracy means freedom and self-actualization. In his view, compulsion assimilation is anti-democratic and non-Americans.

A century later, Ralph Waldo Emerson used the image of the furnace to explain the process of "turning British, German, and Irish immigrants into Americans" process. . . . Immigrant personality and even his ethnic and religious features are integrated into democratic turmoil as brass debris is thrown into the crucible. "During the slavic language, the Jews, and the Big Wave in 1908, this sentence gained a wider currency, the Israeli Zangwillese play" Meltpot "was completed. A wonderful dissolution pot of dissolution and reconstruction of all races in Europe! "

This view of crucibles is carried out through self-recognition of the United States. We believe that we are immigrants from all over the world. The furnace means that a lot of ingredients are added to the pan, and as a result all mixtures create a new taste or a unique American culture. But that is not the case. Our story is very different. The first permanent pioneer was White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) from the UK. They created the American culture, after which immigrants followed it. Immigrants bring their own culture and language. Then each country followed a similar story, followed by a generation of mainstream culture, English, adopted the white Anglo-Saxon approach. For example, the largest ethnic group who emigrated to America in the 19th century came from Germany. But what about the Germans in America? We have German restaurant from Germany and Christmas habit. But that's it.
