    This document outlines the cultural diversity of ethnic groups in the United States and discusses whether the country functions more like a melting pot or a pot of stew. It describes the main ethnic groups - African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans - and their contributions to American history and culture. It then explains the melting pot theory, which envisions immigrants assimilating into one dominant culture, versus the pot of stew analogy, where different cultural influences retain their identities while contributing to the overall ensemble. The document concludes by thanking the audience.
