Welcome to Cultural Awareness
Welcome to the Cultural Awareness blog! The United States has been referred to as the "melting pot," and most of our country's inhabitants are immigrants from one place or another. We are hoping to explore the roles that different cultures play in our everyday lives by keeping a live journal of what we see and do.
Today, we met our group and talked about what the Cultural Awareness JUA could be about. These were some questions we had:
* What is the definition of America?
* What are the similarities and differences between cultures?
* Are 'we' getting more hostile or more tolerant towards other cultures?
Possibilities for researching these questions are: visiting a multi-cultural high school and interviewing students from different cultural backgrounds; learning what cultural groups are represented in the Boston-metropolitan area; visiting local art museums; interviews with people in Boston. The options are endless! Please post any of your ideas or comments so that we can continue to explore ideas even further!

My essential question:
Immigrants come to America to live a succesful life even though they face difficulties with racism every day.
How do all the racism prohibit them from excelling in American society?
Do immigrants feel that the exposure to American oppurtunities is worth all the racism that they face?-Ryan J.
