Abstract:
Have you ever wondered why do people still desire to come to America? What are the main attractions of being in America and becoming an American? You might say America started as an immigrant nation. Of course America from its inception was an immigrant nation. This country was, and continues to be, a kaleidoscope of ethnic and cultural groups. Basically most people have come here through the years to realize their dreams. Freedom plays a huge role in that dream. We are a multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multilingual nation, better known as the "melting pot." Come learn about the culture of the USA, how to succeed in business, and why is it important to learn English!! We will discuss the American character and how the culture and language has affected life and liberty in this great nation. What are the positives and negatives of the American life? How does diversity enrich our culture? What does it mean to be living and studying in the heart of "Silicon Valley"?
