Majority= the big part of a group so the opposite of minority(White people in The US)
Members of minorities accept the values and lifestyles of the majority's culture. They want to assimilate into the majority and express positive attitude towards it. Often these individuals have an negative attitude towards minorities like themselves. This attitude changes when the person encounters situations such as discrimination which make him/her question the values of the dominant culture.

Culture shock is the difficulty people have adjusting to a new culture that differs substantially from their own. The shock of moving to a foreign country often consists of distinct phases. It is not everyone who passes all the phases.

Stage 1: The honeymoon stage. During this period the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic light. Everything about the host culture seems wonderful and new. For example you can love the new food or the people habits in the new country

Phase 2: Anxiety and culture shock. After some time the differences between the old and new culture apparent and create anxiety. You might keep having negative experiences. They often feel lonely and homesick.

Phase 3: Adjustment phase. After some time you get used to the new culture and develop rutines, you know what to expect in most situations, and the country no longer feels strange.

Phase 4:Mastery phase. Here are you able to participate fully and comfortably in the new country and their culture. It does not mean that you are completely converted. This phase is often referred to as biculturalism.

Phase 5: Reverse culture shock. It can happen on returning to your country and culture. After staying away from your home country for a long time you have to make adjustments to be able to function normally in their home culture.

The statue of liberty is a symbol of freedom and rights.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

This documentary is about Mexican and Asian immigrants in the United States, and the battle of Texas and the story of Tuskee. Texas used to belong to Mexico, but then the Americans came along and wanted to "help" the Mexicans by cultivating it. But after a while they felt too comfortable and wanted to take over the state, so they attacked/went to war with the Mexicans, while they were taking a nap.

Asian immigrants in Tuskee:
The Asian immigrants in Tuskee helped build the city out of nothing. But the people of the town still weren't satisfied, because the Asians were different than them, so they drove them out, by telling employers not to hire Asian people, so they couldn't make any money.
People often forget that Asians had a hard time during the immigration as well.
