RE: Memoir Monday #16 (6/23-6/30) - How Has Your Country Changed During Your Lifetime?

in #memoirmonday5 months ago

This topic can be very controversial. Of the things you mention, the one that impresses me the most is how they were able to divide so much, how they went from being a society where they had a common purpose to one where there are groups so opposed that they can't understand each other. That is terrible and dangerous for any society.

In my country something similar happened, since the arrival of Chavismo we began to separate, suddenly one group became the enemy of another, there are families where one and the other do not even talk to each other. We had never known this division before.
Thank you for the initiative, dear. A big hug from Maracay.

Thank you @irvinc! This kind of separation seems to be happening worldwide. The US has always been a proponent of immigration, unless we're Native Americans almost all of our families came from somewhere else in the world. The thing I've noticed about immigration in the last couple of decades is they're not assimilating into American society, they aren't learning the language or mixing with other Americans as much. I think this divides us more as a country as well. I really appreciate the comment!

I find it hard to understand what you are saying. It is as if the newcomers are playing the loser.

If they arrived there, it is because they are better off than in their places of origin. It would seem logical then that they should be grateful to the country that receives them, they should integrate and do their best to keep that country in good shape. They should think that if things go well there they will benefit.

But sometimes people do strange things. Happy evening dear friend @ericvancewalton.

Thank you! I hope you have a great weekend.
