Metaphor of the Melting Pot Peggy Ruth Geren The melting pot has been used metaphorically to describe the dynamics of American social life. In addition to its descriptive uses‚ it has also been used to describe what should or should not take place in American social life. How did the term originate? How was it used originally? How is it used in contemporary society? What are some problems with the idea of the melting pot? How is public education connected to the idea of the melting pot? How does

Research report Water is very important .We need water to drink‚ to wash our hands‚ to cook‚ to water plants and many other things. Without water‚ the plants would die and people and animals would go thirsty. What is water? Water is made up of two hydrogen atoms‚ and one oxygen atom. When these atoms come together‚ they form a strong bond that can’t be broken. What is Table salt? Sodium chloride Designed for cooking Has many ingredients 1. Potassium iodine- stabilizer

I found the symposium very interesting. I thought that David Kotter made a very good point. He told us first that the battle is coming to us and that we should not be surprised when we deal with the issue of religious freedom‚ for in 1 Peter‚ it says to not be surprised WHEN we are faced with trails. The word “when” implies that it will happen‚ it’s just a matter of time. If he had said “if” then maybe there would or wouldn’t be trials. So we know by this wording that as a Christian and a follower

The Culture Iceberg Theory‚ a theory that gives people a view of the most important part of a person‚ the inside. Just like an iceberg‚ people are on only able to see 1/7 of the iceberg (the top). The culture of a human acts strikingly similar‚ 1/7 of a human being gets seen by others. 6/7s under the water‚ the bottom of the iceberg displays the elements of who the person truly represents. Most people overlook the inside of a human being. They tend to make harsh judgements based off the outside of

The Melting Pot Is The United States of America the “melting pot” of the world? A melting pot is “a place where races‚ theories‚ etc.‚ are mixed.” (The Oxford Dictionary) Many immigrants come to the United States for the same basic reason: A better way of life. These same immigrants envision their dreams of success‚ freedom and happiness coming true. Without different cultures coming together learning from one another‚ many of today’s modern marvels would not exist. A good example of this is

Melting Point Determination Identity and Purity of Solid Organic Compounds Objectives • To introduce the technique of melting point determination. • To use the concept of melting points for identification and characterization of organic compounds. • Properly fill and use a capillary melting point tube. • Determine accurate melting point ranges for a wide variety of organic substances. Introduction The melting point of a solid can easily and accurately be determined

Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to determine the melting points of compounds using a Mel-Temp device. The melting point of naphthalene‚ urea‚ and sulfanilamide are found. This is then followed by the measuring of an unknown compound‚ and an impure sample (a small amount of naphthalene mixed with the unknown). Experiment In the lab‚ the height of the chemical in the capillary was set to 2-3 mm thickness. The voltage at the Mel-Temp started at a low setting of 1.5-2. The heat was

The Melting Pot Cultural assimilation is the blending or fusing of minority groups into the dominant society. There are many metaphors related to the concept of cultural assimilation in the United States‚ one being the melting pot. It suggests that all of the cultures that have been brought into America melt together and become the base material of the pot. This metaphor is considered somewhat accurate‚ but some people disagree with what it implies. There are some metaphors that better represent
