Essays on Salad Bowl

Abstract

The process that led to the formation of the United States is more of a salad bowl than a melting pot; ethnic communities were not softly absorbed to the umbrella of American culture, but they rather coexisted in their individual identities, like ingredients of salad on a plate. The struggle of the African American is pinned on his slavery and the fact that he was sold to America for labor. It has been very hard for the African American to get assimilated, and the situation is still dire today, as racism is still rife. The underrepresentation in the Congress ...

They are said to have to endure with the tribal definitions of women with the industrial and the post-industrial non-Indian women definitions.

Therefore, this comes as a struggle by trying ...

The newest metaphor for how one views the diversity of American society could be the National League Football fans. For years the metaphor for that diversity was the classic melting pot, where individual components are molded into one entity.
