to assimilate,
they have to.
settled with their own ethnic group.
Probably parliamentary government, although looking at our own government that may not have been a good thing.
During around 1970 when about 7 million immigrants rushed to America.....each country had it's own quota that could only be reached...
They heard that America was a free country. They would be able to practice their own religions, maybe have an education, and have their rights to believe in whatever they wanted.
Modern? the Italians and Irish immigrants (and even Jews had their own gangs), before that would be the outlaws of the west
Russian immigrants to America were treated like other non-English speaking immigrants. Unless they started their own business, most of them would live on the edge of poverty.
freedom of religon,freedom of speech, a new start, to own land, and to escape the church of England
One factor that drew many immigrants to the U.S. and allowed people to prosper by relying on their own resources was the type of government the U.S. has. In a democratic society the people are free to choose their career. Many immigrants also came because America was considered to be the "promised land".
German immigrants have had many successes. There are many German immigrants that own their own businesses and have made successful careers for themselves. Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira are German immigrants that have become great footballers.
Many immigrants created tightly knit communities after arriving in America where they could practice their traditions, religion, and speak their own language. Sometimes these communities, especially when oppressed by police or societal prejudice, would create their own systems of governance and policing. Rarely, these systems might eventually turn into crime organizations after they became less necessary for protecting the community.
Society often benefits when immigrants assimilate to some extent, such as learning the language and understanding local customs, to facilitate integration and harmony. However, it is also important to preserve cultural diversity and allow immigrants to maintain aspects of their own heritage and identity. Striking a balance between assimilation and cultural preservation can lead to a more inclusive and respectful society.
One should be familiar with his own literary heritage. Its who he is, its like where he came from.
