Second-Generation Immigrants
Second-generation immigrants are individuals born in a new country to parents who immigrated from another country. They often grow up in a different cultural environment than their parents, which can lead to a blend of traditions and values from both their heritage and the society they live in. This unique position allows them to navigate between two cultures, often influencing their identity and social interactions.
These individuals may face challenges such as balancing their family's cultural expectations with the norms of their new country. They often contribute to the economy and society, bringing diverse perspectives and experiences that enrich their communities. Examples of second-generation immigrants include children of Mexican, Indian, or Chinese immigrants living in the United States.
