Hispanics
The U.S. is confronted with major demographic changes
today. For instance the Hispanics will be the nations largest minority in 2050.
They will make up 1 quarter of the population. In some regions they will be the
majority. Hispanics have their routs in 21 differnet countries, they prefer
beeing called "Latinos". The question today is, if the Hispanics will integrade
into the American society like all the past immigrant groups. America is a
melting pot of nations. Pesimists say, they will remain seperate, because of
their language they will reject citizenship. They will form islands of alien
culture. The Republicans are for a 70% reduction of immigrations. America has
to absorb and to intigrate Hispanics and
to teach them the language, culture and
traditions. The Hispanics themselfs are not sure, if the group will develop in
the future. Some of them say that in future generations the feeling of seperate
identity will fade. Others say they will always identity as Hispanics. They
won't change or integrate! They will never melt into the mainstream. An other
obstacles keeping Hispanics from assimilating is the education gap. Other
reasons are racism, the need for kids to work and there is a lack of parential
education and also their living conditions. A better educations would be
helpfull to integrate them.
More over they will influence American life and
culture. They hold many positions in politics and important positions. They are
influencing American cuisine.
If the American don't accept them they will never
intigrate.
