...Activity: “Spirit Season” Spirit season is a school event that lasts 3 consecutive months. Each month will have a variety of different religions from a single geographical region participate in the event. Each month will represent a distinct geographical region. For example, each month will be: the eastern religions, the middle-eastern religions, and the western religions (aboriginal religions) respectively. Within the first month, the eastern religions, the religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Sikhism, and etc. could participate. The end goal or product is to “make-over” the entire school so that it provides the cultural “feel” of the region of the month. This could be done visually, audibly, or in another way that appeals to the senses.For example, when Western religion is the region of the month, the group will decorate the school with accessories, items, or other material that is from the aboriginal culture (since the aboriginal religion is of the western hemisphere). This make-over should include all religions each region includes. Prior to the event, several visual, musical and performing arts classes could be notified of the events. They would then lend their services to making this event possible. The food prep, business, religion, history, construction classes and any student could also volunteer to help assist with the event. Once the volunteer group and the arts classes are chosen, several dates are chosen for these groups to attend and discuss ideas and form...

...Hungering for America Rendering on a large collection of bases, Hasia Diner's Hungering for America "explores how the memories of hunger and the realities of American plenty merged together to shape the ethnic identities of millions of American women and men from Italy, Ireland, and Jewish Eastern Europe" (p. xvii). Sensitive to the physical and the existing predicament of hungry people, Diner strengthens our understanding of the influence of American abundance on immigrants by arguing that culturally specific memories of the European past determined Italian, Irish and Jewish food ways in the U.S. In this essay I will discuss how the European Jewish immigrants and the Italian immigrants dealt with the issue of identity formation. For the Italians food was a significant factor in strengthening ethnic identity and community in the United States because to them food was very significant. Family and food play a large role in Italian life. Diner says, “The matrix of food family-sanctity served as an Italian peasant ideal, in part because it is so often lay beyond the grasp of the poor.” (p. 35). In other words, even the poor people of Italy found the appreciation of food to be a very important part of Italian culture. When the Italian immigrants entered America they impacted communities in the United States by the way of food. The most prominent Italian food is macaroni. Many macaroni factories were opened in America and represented the Italian culture. America changed Italian...

The German Americans settled in the United States in the late 1700’s, they came because of their religious dissenters such as the Amish who were attracted by the proclaiming of religious freedom. Even though the German Americans started coming in the late 1700’s it wasn’t until the 1830’s through 1890 the German immigrant population represented one quarter of the immigration. During World War I most of the German Americans distanced themselves away from their home land, by the ending of the twentieth century the animosity that was towards Germany fell distant. That is because of John F. Kennedy being in Berlin in 1963 and Ronald Reagan in 1987 and they both spoke of uniting Germany. Present days the immigration from Germany is between 5,00 and 10,00 annually. Some customs that the Germany Americans may practice still while...
