Presentation transcript:

Over the years, historians have developed different theories on how immigrants were absorbed into larger society: “Melting Pot” Theory: people from different cultures have met in the United States to form a new American culture. In other words, cultures “blend” together to become one making it difficult to distinguish between different cultures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aYnNrTnXhk Assimilation: immigrants “disappear” into an already established American culture. They become “Americanized” by giving up their culture and adopt the appearances and attitudes of a larger society in order to be accepted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDG0-Z8ruuk
