accommodation vs. assimilation
Does anyone else see a change in the United States from assimilation to accommodation? Back in the old days people who were different, whether they were immigrants or whatever, had to assimilate to fit in the nation. That is where many of the sayings of this country came from, such as "Of many, come one," and the "melting pot." But now it seems as if we are trying to accommodate every need of every different person. I have my own opinions about what this is doing to the United States, but I want to hear what others think.
