The lifestyle and culture in USA is totally different from our culture. So when we reached USA, at first we could not adjust with their culture and life. Especially my parents found very difficult to mingle with them; so they disliked staying there. But, after living there for some days we adjusted with them and also we enjoyed some of their culture. In this country there is no inequality between men and women. There is no restriction for women in any field; moreover, they are respected by everyone. In USA all the people live in their own way and lead independent life. Even though freedom is good, some people misuse their freedom. The children do not live in the control of their parents and the parents give all freedom for them to decide their life and career of their own choice. Everyone leads a very fast life and are busy with their job to make their life secure. Moreover, people are ready to work hard.
It took some time for me and my family to accept the living style of USA; we did not take a long period to adjust with their life. In USA there are more opportunities and facilities for everything than our country; so we started loving staying in this country. We also feel very secure and comfortable in living here. I think for most people there will be some difficulties to accept the living style and culture when they settle abroad from their home country. Especially the old people, who lived in traditional way, cannot accept the modern culture of USA.
Lots of differences can be found in case of America while thinking about its past and present. Plenty of changes took place. In the past, everything was not in orderly manner. There was no proper law and order in the country. Also there were no health insurance schemes such as Medicare, Medicaid etc. There were no strict rules in restaurants. Owners of the restaurants could admit any one even if they were smokers or drinkers. There was no identity proof for citizens and only for driving license there was a proof but it was without photo. But today, everything has changed. America has become one of the powerful nations. Strict rules and regulations are implemented. ID cards are very important. “Tightly controlling and punishing financial entrepreneurs has been an important step in the taming of reckless and the lawless.” (Lemieux 8).
Throughout the history of America, immigrants and minority groups are making room to broaden the meaning or definition of country. Henry James, while visiting Ellis Island, once mentioned that tide of these immigrants can change the idea of America. Main reason to highlight this is while immigrants are coming to America their racial and cultural styles are very different from American people. If more and more immigrants come to this country, then they can change the nation’s overall attitude. Society of America has often been described as a melting pot; it was because lots of immigrants are coming to America. Throughout 19th and 20th centuries their flow to America was very large. Their historic culture has got capability to re-image America. “Americans take pride in their “melting pot” society (a term coined by an immigrant, Israel Zangwill) that encourages newcomers to assimilate into the American culture.” (‘Melting pot’ America para 19).
The term melting pot is appropriate as it is just like tomato soup. Many ingredients are poured into it. Similarly, flow of immigrants into America has melted their own culture into the new one which was brought by immigrants. So use of this term melting pot is very appropriate.
