Cultural Exchange

The main Reason I choose these topic is because i know that immigration can lead to an exchange of values, an exchanges of knowledge, I know immigration has a huge impact on culture. In my opinion it’s very interesting how immigration pushes people to be exposed to cultural diversity and the different languages and ​​differentpeople with their respective traditions
What is Culture?
The idea of culture describes our common research but our conclusions are diverse, as our starting points were diverse, traditions are different and so people’s mentality
Even though Terry Eagleton has described culture in a more general way, he said:
“Culture is a set of values,​beliefs and practices that constitute the way of lifeof a specific group”
Why do people migrate?
Experts from various disciplines have multiple reasons why people migrate...
Financially Secured Future: When we see it from an economist point of view, its obvious – people immigrate to gain ‘Financial Stability and Better Future Prospects.
High Standard of Living: Now some people give high emphasis on ‘High Standard of Living.’ It is often seenthat parents send their children abroad to attain a better lifestyle. The reality is that they try their level-best to provide better career prospects and lifestyle to their children which they themselves might not have acquired in their lives. And ‘immigration’ is the perfect answer to their concerns.
Education: Other countries are attired with a huge range of educational opportunities. Be ittop-class universities, high schools, colleges, professional institutes or no matter what, students can get themselves enrolled in any of them in accordance with their preference levels.
Start of a Series: If sociologists are to be believed, it is a chain of events. The first person immigrates and sends “Happily Settled” information to his loved ones living in the native country. And then what…others also immigrate to the same country (or probably a better one) to enhance their future prospects.
Political Reasons: In addition, a wide range of political reasons are arrayed with the term ‘immigration.’ People immigrate to maintain a global presence amongst various countries. Moreover, few think that they are not decked with ample political freedom, so they immigrate to other countries insearch of the same. Some change their citizenship to gain a new identity, some to get political rights and others for a better living ambiance.
Environmental Problems: some natural disaster pushes people to migrate to places where they can be safer.

Effects of Immigration
Example: The urban political machine is one example of how immigrants helped shape the American political system. Many immigrants in the late nineteenth century were welcomed by political parties and given homes andjobs; in return, the political parties asked for the immigrants’ votes and political support. This trading of votes for services is known as machine politics, which dominated many cities for decades.
