Natives & Immigrants

Immigrants are highly marginalize in these years, and they were also being marginalized those years from natives citizens because they disrupts the culture of their territory. Moreover, we must said that immigrants were fundamental during the development of England because immigrants contributed with their culture. At the same time, they also pushed natives to fight and search their own identity as a civilization.
England lived many fights, and most of the natives where descendants of previous immigrants but with a difference, that they respect each other and were used to their peace style of live.

So, as we know immigrants contribute with their culture in many ways like language customs, lifestyles and more. But many times they try to introduce or impose what they are which was the case in england, where different types of immigrants tried to control the Island and their people.
After saying this, I do believe that immigrants in some cases contribute in the construction and the search of a culture and a society, which was the case of many civilization which were invading england. But, at the same time were others which only contribute with deaths and power struggles.

My expectations.

First of all I was a little confuse about the subject, I didn´t know what to expect or think, but after our class on monday I realise that this will be a very demanding subject with a lot of reading.

After explain my first impression, I think that during this semesters I hope to achieve a connection with the subject, and feel me motivated to continue reading about the culture.
Moreover I expect dynamic classes, like have to work in groups, share our opinion and be free to express what we think.

I like my group of classmates because we have worked before, so I know that we can work excellent as a group. Also it is really motivated and I think that is essential to have a good enviroment in the classroom.
I hope that this will be a good semester for all of us, and personally my expectations are feel me confortable with the subject and have a conexion with it.
