In den USA sind es hauptsächlich Immigranten aus Mexiko, darunter auch viele illegale. Diese sind allerdings für die US-Wirtschaft als günstige Arbeitskräfte sehr wichtig.

Immigration auf UK bezogen steht in den Richtlinien meines Wissens überhaupt nicht drin und ich schreib auch das gleiche Abitur (allerdings im LK).

Hiho

Ich schreibe P3.
Von welchen Büchern hast du denn Inhaltsangaben? Wenn die wichtig sind, dann stell sie bitte mal online bzw. schick sie mir ([email protected])

Ansonsten habe ich mir nur gedacht (aber noch nicht ausgeführt Augenzwinkern

), dass ich mich über das englischsprachige Wikipedia in Bezug auf "Immigration" noch mal informiere.

Hat irgendwer dazu evt. Infos?

ich habe für englisch noch GAR NIX gemacht, also echt rein nichts...
kann mir nich vorstellen dass nach den büchern im abi gefragt wird.
aber wir haben nichts zu "changing lifestyle" in britain gemacht, wäre nett, wenn jemand was dazu weiß

sandra · Gast

wir haben doch nur zwei rahmenthemen, die sich jeweils auf die bücher beziehen, da denke ich schon dass da was von dran kommt.
changing lifestyle:
da sist dich so dass die industrie sich dezentralisiert und auflöst, mit ihr arbeitsplätze verloren gehen, classes

Vor allem nützt die ganze inhaltliche Vorbereitung nichts, wenn das sprachliche Niveau nicht stimmt. Die Sprache zählt schließlich doppelt und wenn man die beherrscht, sollte man sich mit inhaltlichen Sachen nicht verrückt machen (normal damit befassen aber schon).

Ein paar Sachen habe ich schon:

TS1: The American Experience

America: Vision of a New World:
The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was drafted by the Puritan pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. It was signed on November 11, 1620 in what is now Provincetown Harbor near Cape Cod. Having settled at Plymouth (thus named by Captain John Smith earlier), the pilgrims recognized that their land was outside the chartered territory of the London Company. Thus, the Mayflower Compact was signed to establish a civil government based upon a majoritarian model and to proclaim the settlers' allegiance to the king. The compact was referred to by John Adams as the foundation of the Constitution of the United States, but he was speaking figuratively, not literally.
The settlers were well aware that earlier settlements in the New World had failed due to a lack of central leadership, and the Mayflower Compact was essentially a social contract in which the settlers agreed to abide by the rules of the government for the sake of their own survival. The government, in return, would derive its power from the consent of the governed.

The Declaration of Independence is the document in which the Thirteen Colonies in North America declared themselves independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain and explained their justifications for doing so. It was ratified by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This anniversary is celebrated as Independence Day in the United States. The handwritten copy signed by the delegates to the Congress is on display in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Background:
Throughout the 1750 and 1760s, relations between Great Britain and thirteen of her North American colonies had become increasingly strained. Fighting broke out in 1775 at Lexington and Concord marking the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Although there was little initial sentiment for outright independence, the view of the British as oppressors widened after the passage of the Intolerable Acts, which struck strongly against Colonial self-rule. The rising tide against British rule was exemplified and strengthened by works such as Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense, released on January 10, 1776, which had a substantial impact on the hearts and minds of colonial Americans.

Manifest Destiny is a phrase that expressed the belief that the United States had a divinely inspired mission to expand, spreading its form of democracy and freedom. Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good, but that it was obvious ("manifest") and inevitable ("destiny"). Originally a political catch phrase of the 19th century, Manifest Destiny eventually became a standard historical term, often used as a synonym for the territorial expansion of the United States across North America towards the Pacific Ocean.
Manifest Destiny was always a general notion rather than a specific policy. The term combined a belief in expansionism with other popular ideas of the era, including American exceptionalism, Romantic nationalism, and a belief in the natural superiority of what was then called the "Anglo-Saxon race". While many writers focus primarily upon American expansionism when discussing Manifest Destiny, others see in the term a broader expression of a belief in America's "mission" in the world, which has meant different things to different people over the years.

Immigration: Opportunities and Problems
The United States has a long history of immigration, from 1600 to the present. Millions came from Europe in the 19th century, from Asia, Africa, and Latin America in the present day. Throughout American history, immigration has caused controversy regarding the political loyalties and values of people who have moved from one nation to another. The British settlers of the colonial era moved from one part of the British Empire to another (as did the Dutch), and did not change their nation, but the Germans did and nearly everyone else did so. Given the geography, most immigrants came long distances. However the French Canadians who came down from Quebec after 1860, and the Mexicans who came north after 1911, found it easy to move back and forth. Indeed with cheap jet travel after 1965, a return to the country of origin became fast and fairly inexpensive.
With proposals to criminalise illegal and undocumented immigrants and to build a wall along the 2,000 mile border between the US and Mexico in early 2006 the country saw itself immersed in a debate at the end of March and beginning of April about these laws and the role of immigration post 9/11.

The melting pot is a metaphor for the way in which homogenous societies develop, in which the ingredients in the pot (people of different cultures and religions) are combined so as to lose their discrete identities and yield a final product of uniform consistency and flavor, which is quite different from the original inputs. This process is also known as cultural assimilation.

Ergänzung zum Melting Pot:

However, this does not show the reality in the USA. Today immigrants do not assimilate as easily as the settlers from Europe, but form their own societies within American society. Besides, not even all Americans melt into one homogeneous society, since it is greatly split up due to factors like wealth and the resulting class divisions for instance.
