Do you think American's should follow the model of assimilation or cultural pluralism

I think American's should follow the model of cultural pluralism. No one should have to leave there culture. We should allow people to do whatever they want, and we can all get along. Everyone should learn each others culture it will give you more education about the world to. They don't have to believe or celebrate what they do but learning about could make it better. So in conclusion everyone should be able to practice there own culture and believe what they want to.

texting and driving

I think there should be a law passed about texting while driving. The punishments should be having there licence suspended and if they get caught again then they should have to spend a few days in jail. I think this is a serious issue. So many people have died because of texting distracting the driver and it needs to end. I know I hate it when my sister does so if theres a legit rule it will help lessen the amount of people who do it. There should definitely be a law passed about texting while driving.

should Bush be charged with war crimes?

I don't think Bush should be charged because he didn't really brake any laws. I know a lot of people don't like him but that shouldn't be a reason to charge someone at all.

“Which was worse, to walk around with everything held inside so that no one really knew you? Or to have these feelings exposed to the whole world?”


“Which was worse, to walk around with everything held inside so that no one really knew you? Or to have these feelings exposed to the whole world?” I think it's better to have you're feelings exposed to the world. I think this the better choice because holding everything in can make you sick and depressed. Maybe not for everyone but I know thats how it can make me feel. Even if everyone knows it will be okay because you are who you are and no one can change that.

Most people think that alot of the immigrants would cover most of the society of the US, then there would be room for all the people who want to come to the United States.

some challenges teen-immigrants face when adjusting to American culture

Some challenges teen-immigrants face when adjusting to American culture are the have rigid backgrounds that struggle with the burden of a global awareness while dealing with a culture that is very set in it's ways.
