Few days ago, we talked about culture and immgrants in class.

Culture has important meanings to everyone today as a part of people’s life and a part of our society. With different culture background, different people get their different ways of living. Even in the same culture and the same society, there could be many identities. Today, in a county, you can easily find the cultures of the rest of the world. People take the different identities from many different original cultures and add them to their own culture. There will be billions of different combinations. In this way, there are many now cultures coming out. But it is still under a particular macro culture.

The best example is New York. As everyone knows, New York is an immigration city; there are so many different cultural groups. Different color of skin, different languages, different food and different styles…so many more are adding to the original culture everyday. People make up their own cultural identities as they like with those above. For myself, I am from Asia. As an international student in New York, in one hand I try to learn as much as I can from the other cultures to find my own culture identity of America; in the other hand, I still proud of my original culture. In a word, there can be many different identities within a particular culture.
