Why America a salad plate instead of a melting pot?
im writing an essay and one after the different cultures I have no idea!
A salad bowl has a variety of different elements, although mixed maintain its own identity. A melting pot has a variety of different elements which when mixed change in the way and become an element of many. Culturally speaking, a melting pot is better because what that means in practice is that people from many ethnic backgrounds come together and develop a common identity – this is what happened when the immigrants came to this country and everyone worked together to become in Americans. What we have now is a salad bowl, where immigrants are coming in retaining their ethnic identities are diverse and work to form a link common. For this reason many people are worried about English not being designated as the national language. If everything is done in different languages can not understand one yes. Think of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel.
