While those who argue in favor of assimilation possibly argue from a position of National preservation, those who argue against it potentially argue from the perspective of immigrant preservation. However, in his essay “Assimilation & the persistence of culture”, James Bennett suggests that anti-assimilation sentiments can also originate from a place of Nationalism in that, “By global standards, the culture and social systems of the English-speaking nations are some of the most individualistic. Interactions with other cultures therefore inherently involve a challenge to those features of our culture and a challenge by our culture to the less individualistic, less free features of theirs” (Bennett). Further anti-assimilation arguments claim

On the one hand, some do not recognize AAVE’s existence but tend to describe it most of all as a colorful slang or an English dialect. On the other hand instead, some believe that AAVE is a separate language from Standard English. Beyond this opposition, many linguists and scholars wonder themselves whether AAVE is to be considered as a creole or as a variety of a language separate from the North American varieties of English.

The concept of multiculturalism in relation to immigrants in America is distinctly opposed by a pressure to assimilate into American culture. This want of Americanism prevents the ideal of multiculturalism in America and disagrees with the concept of America as a “melting pot” of nationalities and cultures. Americanism is becoming an increasingly central idea of American society, and both social pressures and an increasing sense of the benefits of nationalism when examining European states and their immigration policies have led to the diminishing of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism and cultural diversity can be argued to be seen in conjunction with Americanism, but personal experiences of mine, as a member of a cultural minority group,

However, in this case the argument he provides does not sound valid as he uses the kid’s example to generalize all the people overseas of all ages who are against American media. The article also makes certain inaccurate assumptions that does not justify Medveds’ thesis. The article makes an assumption that a rational person overseas cannot differentiate between reality and what is portrayed in fictional movies. Medved (2004) also seems to generalize all American directors by saying that they only focus on producing Hollywood movies that show an inaccurate portrayal of American cultural

Immigration is deeply rooted in the American culture, yet it is still an issue that has the country divided. Marcelo and Carola Suarez-Orozco, in their essay, “How Immigrants Became ‘Other’” explore the topic of immigration. They argue that Americans view many immigrants as criminals entering America with the hopes of stealing jobs and taking over, but that this viewpoint is not true. They claim that immigrants give up a lot to even have a chance to come into America and will take whatever they can get when they come. The Suarez-Orozco’s support their argument using authority figures to gain credibility as well as exemplification through immigrant stories.

Racism has incredibly influenced the human culture, and the effects of it in groups are various and broad. How would we discuss chauvinism, which we should, given its inescapability, without deleting huge changes that recognize the present from the past and, much more critical, without adding to advance racialization of the dialect of social and social investigation—and, by suggestion, to supremacist talks? Much has changed in the course of the last 50 years in the cognizance of bigotry and in endeavors to defeat it. It is obscurantist to disregard these progressions and talk about prejudice today as though it were the bigotry of prior circumstances. Then again, late decades have seen the globalization of prejudice, the racialization of social

From country to country, the spread of pop culture has had its negative effects, formulating decreases in formal language, leading on to potential racial conflicts and generally forming rebellions against this progressive spread of culture and language. However, English specifically has its structural benefits, and he very notion that a large majority of countries are so open to a change in culture and language begs the question as to whether or not this change is in fact beneficial, and is what the world wishes to change into. As change is the only thing constant in life, yet the way in which we change is still debatable. Though a certain amount of influence within countries can be new, exciting, and beneficial to economies, certain courses of action must be taken in the preservation of languages and history to a certain degree. This can be seen with the French organization of “Organization International de la Francophone”, whose general ambition is to benefit the 77 countries that French as on official language, and to sustain and preserve French as a language.

After World War II, Europe’s culture began to modernize and shape to the condition it’s evolved to today. Most Europeans believe that the negative connotations associated with this change are the direct effects of Americanization. This was the idea that the United States was imposing its economic and cultural intent on Europe without their encouragement. The new trends in Europe seemed very “American” to the locals and they were discontent with these ideas. The opinion of Europeans reflects the fear of the United States exceeding Europe’s standards and becoming the dominant country.

Upon the first colonial establishments, the Europeans viewed Native Americans as uncultured, unintelligent, and uncivilized. The first colonizers found themselves ultimately superior to the perceived rudimentary cultural and societal customs that were observed.

Upon the European's first impression of Native American culture, the first notable aspect of their "species" and society was their promising outlook as potential slave laborers.
