Cultural Assimilation and Differentiation

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the immigration and assimilation experience of a Filipino immigrant. It details the immigrant's story from the beginning of his immigration to the United States to many years later after he has married, had children, and sent them all off to college. It also looks at how, in spite of his assimilation into American society, he maintains a strong affiliation with his Filipino heritage and culture.

From the Paper:

"Apart from the world wars, the seemingly prosperous image of American society to countries all over the world that are experiencing either socio-political or economic strife is an enticement for people to aspire to live in the US, and be able to realize their dreams as individuals. That is why immigrating in the US has become a common occurrence, and at present, the country is home to a mixture of cultures of immigrants, ranging from white and black Americans to the already increasing number of Asian and European immigrants."
