Trans-national America

I really liked how Bourne said that we are all foreign born. No one in America has family that was been here from the beginning of the world. We are all technically on a level playing field and to say to someone else that they are foreign is wrong. Every person who came here wanted the same things: to get away from their mother country and begin anew in a world that will let them be who they want to be. I also like how Bourne said that if we did not have every culture we would not be the same America we are today. Every different culture represented in America has made it the way it is if one did not decide to come to America than we would have a totally different nation. It just is really cool how Bourne throws information about how these people needed to come to America to make it more predominate than other countries. Also to keep these different cultures and not become "a tasteless, colorless fluid of uniformity" (4). I love learning about my friends' different cultures and why they celebrate different things than I do. I feel that this sets this nation apart because many other countries do not do this.

How would you feel if the United States of America was assimilated and did not allow other cultural celebrations throughout the year?
