"Research Proposal:
Acculturation of Iranians in America
Background of the Problem
The United States has been variously characterized as either a "melting pot" or a society that reflects cultural pluralism (Hess, Markson, & Stein, 1990). The "melting pot" model suggests that differences among groups are "melted down" over time and cease to exist, creating a social system of a high degree of homogeneity. In the model of cultural pluralism, it is proposed that the special contributions of immigrant groups and cultures add to the diversity and vitality of American cultural life (Hess, Markson, & Stein, 1990). Cultural pluralism implies an acceptance of differences in relatively personal matters such as food, family, religious rituals, and community associations. Further..."

From the Paper
"The year 1880 marked the beginning of the third period of Jewish immigration to the United States. What began as a trickle became a virtual flood, whose headwaters were located in the countries of Eastern Europe. From 1987-1910 alone 449,000 Jews emigrated from Poland to start a new life in America.
Coming to America became a great drama of redemption for East European Jewish masses. After the Partition of Poland in 1793, part of the country came under Russian czarist rule; Catherine the Great was none too happy to receive these Jewish wards.
Russian policy was pervaded by very discriminatory patterns; the Jews were tightly circumscribed inside the ?Pale? (the area that was formerly Polish territory), which moved the .... "

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with the social problems and economic struggles experienced by Persian immigrants in the United States. The immigration of Persians to the United States was greatly increased following the 1979 Iranian Revolution in which the Ayatollah Khomeini took over leadership of the government from the Shah. Khomeini's new government was strongly based on the values of the Moslem religion. As a result, severe restrictions were placed on virtually every aspect of Iranian life. This change disrupted the lives and security of many of Iran's citizens. This was especially true in the case of the nation's nonMoslem minorities, such as the Bahais, Zoroastrians, Christians and Jews. As a result of the Moslem takeover in Iran, all men, regardless of their beliefs, were forced to adhere to Moslem religious customs and to abandon any elements of ... "

From the Paper
"The overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979 led to the establishment of the regime of the Ayatollah Khomeini in that nation. Millions of Iranian citizens who were opposed to the harsh, inhumane policies of Khomeini fled the country. over the years, a great many of those Iranian refugees have settled in the United States. Unfortunately, upon their arrival in the United States, the Iranian immigrants have faced a whole new set of problems. Because of these problems, Iranian immigrants require a great deal of support from their own ethnocultural community in order to become truly adjusted to the new way of life in America. Thus, it can be seen that the concerns of Iranian immigrants in America are an important advocacy issue. These concerns must be addressed in order that the experiences of Iranian immigrants do not have an entirely negative impact upon their lives."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination, written from a legal standpoint, of the treaty on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper concludes the U. S. is willing to intervene in other international problems, such as oil; and therefore, it should make a public statement to protect the world?s most precious commodity, children, by supporting the treaty.

What Is It
What It Protects
What about the Legal Standpoint
Why Is Treaty Needed
Why Won't the U.S. Sign?
Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

From the Paper
"Until the late 1970s, few Americans knew or cared much about Iran. Then, with the fall of the Shah's regime, the rise of the Khomeini revolution, and the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, Iran became a central preoccupation of the American public and of U.S. political life.
The chief source of news and opinion on Iran for most Americans throughout this period was the mainstream press. In principle the press was independent of both government policy and popular opinion, and broadly objective. In fact, however, the mainstream press shared the ignorance and the ideological blinders of the government it was supposed to be independent of, and of the public it was supposed to inform.
This study makes a qualitative comparative analysis of official positions on Iran through this period, as drawn from the..."

From the Paper
"According to the U.S. Census Bureau one in every five children under the age of eighteen years old is an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. Further the estimates are that between the years of 1999 and 2050 that the number of Americans that are foreign-born will climb from 26 million to 53.8 million. It has been shown through research that parental involvement is an important and key factor in raising the level of academic achievement of the children in schools. Further, research has shown that minority parents or disadvantaged parents are less likely to become involved in the education of their children."

Abstract
"This paper discusses an article from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a publication of The Economist, entitled "China's Economy: U.S. and E.U. Get Tough on Textiles" as it relates to the price pressures on apparels in the U.S. market. These issues are examined from a macroeconomic perspective with an emphasis on Keynesian and neo-classical macroeconomic theory.
From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

Acculturation and Transculturation, 2004.

Abstract
This paper briefly defines these two concepts and examines how they apply to the societies of Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, and the Dominican Republic. The writer defines acculturation as the process by which a culture is transformed due to massive adoption of cultural traits from another society. Transculturation is defined as a mutual sharing of cultures.
From the Paper
"Perhaps one of the most clear-cut examples of transculturation is that of Mexican culture. This culture evolved from the pairing of Spanish settlers and the native inhabitants of present day Mexico, particularly the Mayas and the Aztecs. Unlike many other attempts at European colonization, the Spanish settlements in Mexico did not (at least in the long run) attempt to ?filter out? native culture (?Mexico?). Instead, the culture of the original inhabitants were embraced, and likewise, so was that of their European counterparts (?Mexico?). The match resulted in a very unique identity that we know today as ?Mexican.? "

Abstract
This paper explores literature on acculturation and assimilation as it relates to the school system. The paper examines the successful coping of educational, family, and social factors of the Latino population in the school system. The paper contends that important factors are the perception of the school system by the Latino family, specifically in disciplinary issues with students of middle school age.
From the Paper
"The perspective of the teacher and school in their role of educating the Latino student is a role that must be cognizant to the fact that: ?Learning does not take place in a social vacuum. It takes place in a social, political, and psychological contest.? Empowering Families through Literacy, Arlington?s program focuses toward, some of the challenges in the education, of the poor Latino children from families with inadequate literacy in relation to skills and knowledge. This program educates the parents in reading and writing while, at the same time, educating their children in reading."

Abstract
This paper discusses the damage done to the Native-American people as a result of the efforts by the American government to replace the Native-American culture with the dominant white culture. The paper discusses the problems associated with confinement to reservations, limited access to a culturally sensitive educational environment and the unique legal position that Native-American tribes hold. The paper also briefly looks at how the tribal gaming and casino business has helped bring economic prosperity and self-sufficiency to the the Native-American tribes.
From the Paper
"All individuals, especially during the years from adolescence to early adulthood must come to terms with one's identity and the society in which they live. The process is frequently difficult and complex. For the Native American, especially the youth, it poses greater difficulty and complexity. They often feel pulled in different directions by two different cultures, including one, which has often to fail to accept them. The impact of United States culture and the combination of acculturation, pluralism, frequent segregation has produced results such as disorganized family life, geographic isolation created by remote reservations, educational deficiencies, alcoholism, to name a few."
