A foreign environment might dictate or heavily influence how an immigrant defines their identity and how they see themselves in their environment.

The foreign environment intrigues the migrant to make certain changes within themselves which eventually changes their identity that they don’t realize in order to assimilate. MA

Immigrants are influenced by a foreign environment because it often forces them to abandon parts of themselves in order to assimilate.

Shows how immigrants struggle and “climb upwards” to reach America which is seen as a top destination. -G.C

I think that a foreign environment can cause an immigrant to feel more vulnerable and create an identity that may not be true to who they really are in order to fit in. M.S.R

A foreign environment may feel very overwhelming and daunting to an immigrant, because of how unfamiliar it is.

A foreign environment is incredibly impactful for immigrants because it’s an insane culture shock to go from one country that you’re comfortable in to being in a new and different place that might not except you for how you are and make you feel like an outsider.

A foreign environment can influence an immigrant’s action by pressuring them. The immigrants can feel like an outsider to the other people and feel pressured to fit in so they might influence their actions to try to fit in.

2024-04-05 13:19:21 UTC

An immigrant and his/her experiences will be reflected by foreign environment and foreign people. People need to adapt to where they are and who they are around, so as an immigrant they might feel unwelcome which can drastically change their personally and sense of self. Sometimes in order to feel comfortable in their own identity again, they have to change it. -HR

The environment could affect the immigrants action because when they arrive to a new area they are unsure of what to do, and can stand out from others.

A foreign environment can influence an immigrant’s actions because being in a new place changes who you are, especially for immigrants, who must assimilate to gain a higher social status.

I think ones environment influences their actions because they world around them perceives in a different light and that affects the way one sees themself. SR

A foreign environment can affect an immigrant’s actions in my many ways. For example, if they feel left out they might be more closed off and conceal their true selves.

A foreign environment might dictate an immigrant’s actions as surrounding can control the behavior, habit, or way of living everyone, regardless if you’re an immigrant or not.

The environment that an immigrant finds themself in can influence how they view their identity. For example, they can feel pressure to assimilate and let go of their culture in order to fit in. Or if they’re in a more accepting environment, they might want to keep a stronger connection to their culture.

The actions of the immigrants, even the tiniest, will be examined and judged by others who have already conformed into the American society. - M.Z

A foreign environment urges migrants to assimilate into their new life, but how well they assimilate is dictated by how old they are when they migrated.

In foreign environment, people would change their identity in order to fit in with others. It can also influence how they see themselves and their past.

The environment affects a persons experience within their identity. An immigrant in an environment full of xenophobia and hate may feel more uncomfortable in their identity, even scornful.

The environment immigrants find themselves in can feel grey and lonely, but the aspects of their identity are what being color to their lives.
