America has been named “the Melting Pot” because of the multi-ethnic society its become.  Societites all over the U.S. experience immigrants from many different countries.  Author Pico Iyer described America like this, ”America’s main role in the world order is not as a military superpower, but as a multicultral superpower.”  He tells the reader what it is like to wake up one day in Southern California, and what he experiences on a daily basis.  Having been to california twice myself, me and my family members felt like outsiders because for the first time we were surrounded by foreigners, instead of the other way around.  We have become increasingly diverse and now where ever you may be from, you can get a college education where ever you would like; doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you look like.  Every country is their own, and upholds their own values and traditions, but because we are becoming more and more global, no one knows what the future might bring.
