When a person moves to a new country, they are often forced to choose between one of two cultures. When I say this I speak from experience because on many occasions I have had to choose which side I wanted to be on. Some people choose one culture over the other, but most become multicultural. People have many opinions on weather its good or bad to be multicultural.
Few people believe that being of two cultures is negative.
I however, believe that coming in contact with two cultures can have an extremely positive effect on a person. Some people believe that being multicultural is a mostly negative experience. Being from different cultures can also expose a person to some forms of discrimination. People can loose jobs and other opportunities because of their background. When I first moved to this country, I often received pressure from my grandparents to keep my Bulgarian culture in front of everything else.
