Many cultures from different countries have come over to America and made it a “Melting Pot.” Each year in America, many immigrants come from different countries and shares their unique cultures with America. As Marin used the term Melting pot in his essay “Towards something American,” it describes as an unused furnace that does not burn until imported values and lives stop being fed into the system; moreover, Marin mentioned that Americans have no culture. On the other hand, Taylor describe in her article “Analogies for America: Beyond the Melting Pot “that different melting pot is actually a blend of our different cultural and ethnic background because Americans can and do come from all ethnicities and races; therefore, we all…
“God is making the American.” In Israel Zangwill’s The Melting Pot, America is concerned as the new world. Zangwill wrote the play in the early nineteen hundreds when immigration to the Americas was sufficiently increasing. Many Americans were against the idea of so many different people entering ‘their’ country; while immigrants saw the Americas as a place to which they had spent their whole lives coming. In The Melting Pot, immigration causes a rift in those residing in America.…
In discussions of tossed salad and melting pot, a controversial issue is whether or not tossed salad is better than melting pot. Tossed salad represents multiculturalism. The tossed salad is colorful and it has unique and different ingredients it has the tomatoes, the lettuce, the cucumbers, the red and green and orange bell peppers and other ingredients. Each ingredient has its own unique color, texture and taste. What unites all these ingredients though is the dressing whether it is Italian, French or Ranch. They all come together to be able to form one thing. It is the same thing with a tossed salad society. Being part of a tossed salad means that one lives in a multicultural society in which one could find people of different races and ethnicities. People are of different skin colors. Each culture has there own unique language. Each culture has different ways of dressing and eating. They are able to maintain their culture and grow and become stronger but something still holds all these cultures together. The dream to be able to have a strong and united society. Melting pot on the other hand is a cultural assimilation it is like tomato soup. Many ingredients are used to be able to create the tomato soup but in the end it just has one flavor. All these ingredients are unique in their own way just like the ingredients from the tossed salad. They each have their own texture, taste and color. In the end though all these ingredients just come together and create one flavor that is unique. All the ingredients in one way or another loose their uniqueness, their color and texture and taste. The same thing happens with a melting pot society. Cultures come together to be able to form something new and unique. Each culture, in the beginning, has its own personality. They each have their own believes and languages. Slowly, they joined the melting pot and started to lose their cultural identity and form a new one. They are no longer unique…

Modern America is considered to be a melting pot, in which a variety of races, cultures, or individuals gather into a unified whole. The ideas of being a new American for people who have migrated from their homeland to America are to leave behind all their past cultures and practices and embrace their new American ways. Is that what really happens? If it was, would there be still racism in America? The number of people immigrating to America has risen over the years, but so has the number of active hate groups. The idea of unity in the melting pot of America is a myth because of racism, stereotypes, prejudice, and cultural segregation of its people.…

The melting pot is a theory in which came about in the Revolutionary period by Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur. His theory envisioned that America was a “melting pot”, where individuals of all nations are melted together to become a new race of men. The term melting pot refers to the idea that societies formed by immigrants of different cultures, religions, and ethnic groups, will produce new hybrid social and cultural forms. The notion comes from the pot in which metals are melted at great heat, melding together into new compounds.…
America is called the “Melting Pot” because of the diversity of the American culture. The migration and immigration of different cultures and people created America’s identity and its nickname of the “Melting Pot”. The American identity began developing in the 1600’s with the construction of colonial America. Throughout the 1800’s, America’s identity was developed by thousands of immigrants who entered America and the migration of people within America. Between the 19th and 20th century, and even in modern times, America’s culture and identity is developed by the movement of Americans and immigrants. The migration of people has helped create an American identity. During three periods of history, significant changes happened that helped frame…
America is a country born from immigrants; most citizens can trace their origins back to ancestors who came to America as immigrants. Throughout America there are cities that are so diverse in culture; it is hard to believe that we are one nation. An example of this would be New York City. New York City was an original entry point for many European immigrants and has more than eight hundred languages being spoken in the city. (CNBC) There is such a diverse range of people in New York City that one could lose themselves by turning the wrong corner and end up being in a place like Chinatown, where they still wouldn’t believe that they are in America. New York City has been referred to as a “melting pot” of different cultures. Kwame Appiah, a philosopher and writer, states in his work, “Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers” that, “Because there are so many human possibilities worth exploring, we neither expect nor desire that every person or every society should converge on a single mode of life.” (Appiah 59) What Appiah is saying is that because everyone and every culture are different, we shouldn’t shun those differences but rather accept them and try to understand…
What is cultural tolerance? A formal definition would include something along the lines of “A disposition to allow freedom of choice and behavior, no matter what the color or creed.” However, I believe it is much more then a simple definition. I believe it’s cultural diffusion, something much more then just tolerance. Not only is it just tolerating someone, or a group. It involves working with them, and holding and learning so much history.…
