2 TOPIC: SOCIAL CHANGE
Social changes have resulted from the increased mobility around the world. Its a
phenomenon which has happened throughout the history.
People who lived in poor conditions have travelled to richest countries than their own,
to be living in better conditions.
Getting used to a new life, new language, new customes is very difficult and imply a
long time of adaptation. This can create Multicultural societies, which can get a lot of
advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage would be create a cultural diversity which
all together could live in peace. Its very important people open up their mind, encourage
tolerance towards others ways of life. So that, we can make the transition into a new society.
People have to be willing to accept to other countrys people who coming to living with
us. We can help them in order to create a much better society.
On the other hand, there would be other disadvantages too. Sometimes they dont
adopt the culture of their new country. Ghettos and run-downs areas created to them. They live
in it and they cannot integrate. So, it may appear xenophobia toward poorest migration, and it
can develope in big riots and violent acts.
As for the Opportunities. We live in a global society. At any time, the Company where
you work can send you to work to other country. You and even your family have to be ready to
this: open your mind, encourage to know other cultures, learning other languages.. you have
to see the positive side and thinking it is an enriching experience.
Apart from that, Governments have to get social measures in order to improving new
housing to them, healt care to them, free classes to study the countrys language
As far as Im concerned (I believe) that young people benefit greatly from living and
working abroad. Living in a multicultural society enriches our lifes.
