ASA 2 - Section A03
November 8, 2015
I read “I
am a man with a heart” and it was basically about a man named Andrew who emigrated
from Cambodia to the United States. He settled in Hayward and was surrounded by
both good and bad influences. In my opinion, I feel like many immigrants go
through this problem of getting into trouble even if they are good individuals.
I think the reason for this happening is that they have a hard time transitioning
to the new lifestyle in the United States. They are still not completely aware
of what is going on around them and what to do and what not to do. In
situations like these, I feel like immigrants need guidance from someone who
they hold in high authorities or someone who has been in the same situation as
them, transitioning into living in the United States. It can be especially hard
for youth moving from one place to another just because they are experiencing
things they haven’t before and it takes them outside of their comfort zone.
Then they look for new methods of coping, which may include bad behaviors that
are not completely intentional.
What are other factors that contribute to immigrants performing
bad actions?
