Band 7

Some people claim that immigrants should adopt the local culture when immigrating to a new country. While others think that they can establish a minority community instead. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #immigrants #culture #country #minority #community
As the world population grows and
people
 become increasingly mobile,
people
 are divided over the extent to which
immigrants
 should attempt to assimilate into the local
culture
.
This
 essay will look at the main argument from each side of the debate and
then
 suggest that a compromise is needed, wherein
immigrants
 both assimilate and form a strong community. The
people
 who argue in favour of
immigrants
 assimilating into the local
culture
 often point out that it increases the number of job opportunities available to newcomers.
Immigrants
 often find it difficult to find a job when they move to a new country, but by becoming part of the wider community, they open themselves to more possibilities. The immigrant will be able to improve his quality of life,
as well as
 to contribute to the economy, so there are clear benefits from both the perspective of the immigrant and the local society.
On the other hand
, the
people
 who think
immigrants
 should form minority communities point to the preservation of cultural traditions and language. They believe that adopting the local
culture
 would cause a loss of the
immigrants
’ original language and
culture
. Indeed,
this
 is something that has happened all around the world, and it is not hard to find a Little Italy or Chinatown far from Italy or China.
Therefore
, it makes sense that
immigrants
 form tight-knit communities in their new countries. In conclusion,
it is clear that
 a balance needs to be sought between these two approaches to immigration, and so neither is entirely correct. Without assimilating into the local
culture
,
immigrants
 may find it difficult to get ahead in life, but if they become completely immersed in the new
culture
, they might forget their roots and their language may disappear.
