Just enough theory to use it
The English-speaking world was built by migration – voluntary and forced. To discuss it you need the mechanics: push and pull factors explain why people move; assimilation, the melting pot and the salad bowl describe what societies expect of newcomers; and diaspora and hyphenated identities describe what migration does to belonging. The American Dream is the promise that pulled millions – including 800,000 Norwegians – and testing that promise against reality is a classic exam discussion. The curriculum asks you to explore diversity and social conditions from historical contexts: today's debates about immigration are the old story, continued.
