Cultural Identity Wrap up

I have learned “America is Melting Pot or Salad Bowl, It was interesting for me. “America is a melting pot,” in my definition has little different in meaning from the book. People immigrated to the United States from different places. After they lived in here, some of their tradition cultures will be disappeared or combine with other countries’ cultures. For example, Giving red envelops to their children was Chinese people’s traditional custom. They always do it in the Lunar New Year, but, some people give it to their children in Christmas or New Year (January Fist). Some important traditional events such as Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival have no longer celebrated by Chinese people because they are busy. I think many years later, cultural identity will be lost or combine with other people.
