Assignment: Why all states are multiethnic?



Abstract

The history of the United States of America is one of the most interesting of all time, because it can be seen from the different obstacles, difficulties and setbacks for those who have to cross its inhabitants to consolidate what is now the nation most powerful on the planet. Historically, people residing in other parts of the world were fed up because of the resistance they had to face in all hues of life. When the first wave of immigrants started to come to the states, they were mainly looking for Political Freedom, Religious Tolerance, Forced Immigration (Slavery) Economic Opportunity, Some want unconstrained atmosphere, Political Refugees fear for their lives, and Family Reunification. People wanted a better life, job and more money. The present times have witnessed an influx of new immigrants that are students coming from around the world to the United States for higher studies, and remaining here for better opportunities. The cumulative effect of all this is the formation of multi ethic states in the country. A study showed that Diversity is likely to have a modest effect on separation largely, though it does decrease African American isolation especially. Metropolitan regions with superior growth in Asian and Pacific Islander and Hispanic populations witness superior growth in Asian and Pacific Islander and Hispanic segregation, correspondingly, signifying that this populace growth expected to buttresses ethnic enclaves. Gallup survey conducted in 2009 ranked America as the most favorite country for the immigrating people.
