Intergenerational conflict: children of immigrants and their experience between cultures q. Personal transformation =================================================================== The object is to find out what the lives of immigrants were like at home, what their value systems and cultures were, why they left their home country, how they adapted to a new way of life, how they managed conflicts about values and culture, including those affecting their sense of self, family and place. The idea is to get beyond the obvious, and get to the deeper issues of self, family, society and culture. Ideas about power, security, anxiety, success, failure, gender, trust, and so on are all part of what you are seeking to find out about, in the culture transplantation. In addition, this paper aims to shed light on the nature of culture of the United States, which may be seen more clearly through the conflicts and struggles of immigrants. Natives rarely see their own culture as clearly as new arrivals.
