Recommended: Impact of immigration on culture

The world has become a global village due to fast developing technology.It has reduced or eliminated the boundaries as well, which in turn may have escalated cultural openness and co-operation. The quest for a better life has always enforced man to move from one place to another, often leaving his homeland. Such movements have turned into kinds of exile as dislocation from the homeland has always remained severe and painful. When the migration is voluntary,Face book, Whats App, Sky pe and other such means of communication serve a kind of closeness. But that remains in the realm of ideals for migrants and their descendants. Of course homesickness is lessened but issues like homelessness, settlement, identity, life style, etc. remain on the verge.

    ...ecause it depends so much on perspective and circumstances. Analyzing one’s social space as both a “community” and a “contact zone” can be detrimental to a previously established opinion or feeling one could have towards that space, making it uncomfortable. It is also true, that by thinking of your social space as a “community” and a “contact zone” help you learn a lot more about that space, and helps you mature as an individual. I support the idea of a “contact zone” because there is historical proof of it, but the historical proof for a “community is yet to be discovered. I propose to discuss a new phenomenon “contact zones” that seek to be a “community”.

  • Assimilation into the United States

    1819 Words  | 4 Pages

    The interaction between the immigrant and the citizens of the receiving country varies on whether or not their introduction into the new country is seen as a loss or something positive. These differing stances serve as a buffer for an immigrant’s desires, as they can either advance or stagger depending on how far their new situation allows them to advance. For this reason, the likely success of the individual depends on the descending community’s desire to embrace them. This acceptance or denial presents itself in the form of the resources available to “the other.” If these outsiders are not given the tools with which to function properly they will likely find solace in the ethnic specific networks that provide them with a means to survive.

Nonetheless, I believe this is a new form of organization with its advantages and disadvantages, but we decide if we assume it completely, assume only the best part of it, or if we resisted to it. Moreover, in our very busy lives we can recognize those others that suffer from the same system of oppression by social media and create new ways for resistance. Hence, social media by keeping everyone attentive can become our best instrument to generate critical thinking, discuss political action and start a revolution.

In the 1940s thousands of Japanese-Americans were forced from their homes and put into camps on suspicion of being possible spies. Today, through the many wars and battles that are fought, people have their homes taken from them. In recent history not much has changed. In Syria a civil war is waged.

  • Report: British Satellite Broadcasting Vs Sky Television

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    BSB should have been able to identify potential competitors, particularly News Corporation. News Corporation was successful in US (in the US TV satellite industry), had experience transmitting television programs to Western Europe with a low-powered satellite and they already had presence in the UK with newspapers, which could allowed Sky to realize economies of scope. These economies of scope are even more significant if we take into account that News Corporation owns 20th Century Fox Studios. After purchasing 69% interests in SATV and renaming it to Sky Channel, this was a clear signal of a potential competitor to BSB. Adding to this, other signal was Murdoch’s personality, characterized by being aggressive and used to risk and make big bets. After all, he had bid against BSB to the British DBS franchise and lost, and given his personality, it’s normal that he would not go away after the first round. News Corporation is a global company and UK is one of the wealthier nations in the world, with high potential advertising revenue, which would make Murdoch want to be the leading player.

As a result, culture, population, and labor has changed dramatically, resulting in policies being created in order to maintain order in the connected global world.

Migration is the process or means by which people move from one geographical location to another geographical location (Castle and Miller, 2009). However, migration plays a key role in the development of both developed and developing countries. According to (Castle and Miller, 2009), “we are well into a post industrial, post-cold war world and about to embark on a brand new century within which immigration will play a central role”.

  • Countries Can No Longer Exclude Immigrants

    2720 Words  | 6 Pages

    In today’s world migration is a social phenomenon that affects a variety of countries. Nations are either experiencing an influx of immigrants or have the problem of individuals exiting their country. This movement of people between nations gives rise to a multitude of problems. The issue that this paper will explore, using examples from around the world, is that of incorporation. How are immigrants incorporated into their new social and geographic setting? Is this a smooth process or are immigrants locked in a period of liminality (transition stage) where they are literally and figuratively neither here nor there? In addition, are there possible solutions that can better facilitate the incorporation of immigrants and the movement of people between nations?

  • The Impact Of Globalization In The Digital Age

    1425 Words  | 3 Pages

    For all intents and purposes, the digital age has had the effect of revolutionizing how we live work, and play (Davidson, 2011). In essence, as Davidson (2012) continues to assert, the digital age has presented possibilities where old habits can be unlearned so as to accommodate new habits that are consistent with the 21st century. Globalization is one of the central aspects that characterize the digital age, where countries are interconnected politically, economically, and socially. The focus of this paper is more or less concerned with the latter aspect of globalization, whereby world cultures interconnect on the global arena through international migration. No one sector has been greatly impacted by this phenomenon than the

    Consider a situation where a family is sitting at the dining table, the son pull out his iPhone, connects to Wi-Fi, and starts chatting with his friends on “Facebook”. The father has a Samsung Galaxy S4 in his hands and he is reading the newspaper online and using “Whatsapp” messenger while having his meal. The mother is busy texting her friends. They are all “socializing” but none of them has spoken as much as a single word to each other. This situation can be commonly seen nowadays. Technology has brought us closer and squeezed the distances but in reality, it has taken us away from each other. The rapid growth of technology has brought about significant changes in human lives, especially in their relationships. The latest technologies have turned this world into a “global village” but the way humans interact with each other, the types of relations and their importance has changed a lot. The advancement in technology has brought us close but has also taken us apart.
