  1. MULTICULTURALISM excercise

  2. Multiculturalism • It is constantly highlighted in the media that there is a “special relationship” between the US and Britain. The two nations have a historical link, they both speak English, and they both share common values. In spite of these similarities, you have iconic artists such as Sting singing: “I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York…” which clearly highlights that being a former colony, speaking the same language, and agreeing that freedom and democracy are essential is not enough to be classified under the same label. • From my experience American students sometimes find it a little difficult to settle in the UK. They have to cope with beans on their breakfasts, butter on their sandwiches and all or nothing final exams that count for 100% of their grades (although this is not true for all breakfasts, sandwiches and universities in the UK). Americans are indeed part of a different tribe that separated from Britain the moment the first colonies in North America started to have different experiences and mixing with other cultures. A good example of this is that during World War II American troops based in England were given manuals on how to behave to avoid upsetting the locals. • If American students find it difficult to settle in the UK, imagine a student that comes from a country that has nothing to do with Britain and whose first language is not English. As you can imagine things are a little more complicated for him or her. Leaving aside cultural differences, which affect the total population of overseas students, language can be a serious barrier to thrive for non-native speakers. • Takenfrom: http://www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/showcase/forguespuccio_diary
