Cultural Tradtion &/or Expectation - Americanizing [ 4 page Research Paper]

I plan to write the essay on how immigrants who come over to America have slowly loss their tradition and/or expectations when they become americanized for examples : clothing, music, celebrations, language and etc.

I need help to develop an argument, maybe how it is necessary to become americanized to live in America and the cultural loss does not outweigh the necessarily of becoming americanized. Is this a good argument ?

Also I don't know how to start my main points [2-3 main points].

Good evening!

As for your thesis statement, you could sum it up with something like, "Cultural assimilation is unavoidable when an immigrant moves to America" or "Retaining a pure cultural heritage is not necessary when moving to America"; if I understand your argument correctly.

As far as organization, my advice is to start out with an outline; start in the middle and work your way out. Start with each of these main two to three points you want to touch on. For each point, list a fact or supporting detail, and then an example of it backed by research. When you have your main points and their supports down, then worry about your introduction and conclusion.

I hope this helps you get started.

wow thanks thats very helpful, but I'm still not sure how to create the main points - nothing I can think of is broad enough ? Things such as music, clothing, celebrations, language i can only write so much about.

Good morning!

Well, I think the topics you listed are great ones to start with. What is really going to give your essay the substance you are looking for is research. There is tons of documentation about assimilation out there, you just have to look for it. You can cite specific examples of the experiences of immigrants, along with research conducted by scientists on assimilation. Conducting an internet search on "assimilation" would give you a lot of information to get started with.
