The Melting Pot Is The United States of America the “melting pot” of the world? A melting pot is “a place where races‚ theories‚ etc.‚ are mixed.” (The Oxford Dictionary) Many immigrants come to the United States for the same basic reason: A better way of life. These same immigrants envision their dreams of success‚ freedom and happiness coming true. Without different cultures coming together learning from one another‚ many of today’s modern marvels would not exist. A good example of this is

The Melting Pot Cultural assimilation is the blending or fusing of minority groups into the dominant society. There are many metaphors related to the concept of cultural assimilation in the United States‚ one being the melting pot. It suggests that all of the cultures that have been brought into America melt together and become the base material of the pot. This metaphor is considered somewhat accurate‚ but some people disagree with what it implies. There are some metaphors that better represent

The Melting Pot 1. Why has it been so difficult for Hmong refugees to adjust to life in the United States? It has been so difficult for Hmong refugees to adjust to life in the United States because lifestyle was very different from theirs. They didn’t know a telephone‚ an air conditioner‚ a light switch‚ etc. even existed. They wanted to keep their traditions‚ their culture. They were empty about new ideas and new experiences. This means that they were full of the past. Also‚ because they

Lab report: Viscosity of Liquids Introduction This experiment focuses on measurements of different trials of various concentrations. The collected data is used to compare and contrast to the ideal binary solutions and their components. The Ostwald viscometer is a useful laboratory equipment to measure the viscosities of many binary solutions. Background Molecules have the ability to slide around each other‚ result in a flow. Such a flow has a resistance called viscosity. Microscopically

-1Determination of an Unknown Liquid (2-butanol) Through Fundamental Analysis Lee Billips Department of Chemistry‚ Shippensburg University‚ 1871 Old Main Drive. Shippensburg‚ PA‚ 17257. Abstract: The identification and characterization of unknowns are an important part of organic chemistry. It is fundamental to know experimental methods to deductively identify compounds (1) . The determination of unknown #6 (2-butanol) was identified by a series of test; first taking the boiling point (94-96 C)‚ performing

spring and summer is the principal melting energy source. Most operational procedures for snow melt prediction rely on ambient air temperature as the index of the energy available for melt. The temperature index is usually used to characterize the level of the energy balance because it is superior to other simple methods for the full energy balance at the snow surface. As long as snow remains bright‚ the sunshine bounces off and is not retained to cause any melting. Two factors other than sunshine

Introduction The objective of this experiment was to carry out an elimination reaction on 2-methylalcohol with an acid to produce alkenes as a product. The product formed is separated through distillation. Because more than one alkene product can result from the reaction‚ Gas Chromatography is used to analyze the composition of the product mixture. IR spectrometry is also carried out to confirm the product. Procedure This experiment was carried out as described in Class Pak. The heat source

Lab 5Cellular Respiration Introduction: Cellular respiration is an ATP-producing catabolic process in which the ultimate electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule‚ such as oxygen. It is the release of energy from organic compounds by metabolic chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats can all be metabolized as fuel‚ but cellular respiration is most often described as the oxidation of glucose‚ as follows: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 kilocalories
