Yes, well, quite. Not much to be said to that is there.
I agree...
And besides, somebody can learn English and still speak Urdu... or whatever their language is. Nothing wrong with still practicing your own religion, speaking your own language at home, or with other friends... But still understanding the culture of the place where you live.
For example... a family who refuse to integrate and learn English have their house broken in to... Or find themselves in some sort of danger... They can't speak English then it could be harder finding help for them. At the same time there are societal values that differ from other cultures...
For example homosexuality is legit and women are equal to men... whereas in some cultures women would be the second sex.
At the same time, it'd be nice to learn more about other cultures in school... seeing as we're getting more and more people coming over here (perhaps 'cultural studies' classes, or something similar). Also we have to remember that the 'problem' (if indeed there is one) is only temporary.
I mean their kids will be educated alongside ours and will have to do integrate to learn our values, whilst still keeping theirs at home.
