La juventud está tan cargada de deseos, metas y esperanzas que motivan, no solo el desarrollo pleno del individuo, sino también el devenir de las comunidades. Bien sea por amor o por rebeldía, los jóvenes multiplican lo aprendido en una gama amplia de posibilidades, intentando siempre superar para bien a sus antepasados. Pero, ¿qué ocurre cuando los senderos se encaminan hacia tierras distantes, en donde la cultura y la lengua son mundos desconocidos? ¿Cuáles son las necesidades de un joven hispano que emigra por decisión de su familia? ¿Qué obstáculos enfrentan? ¿Cómo se adaptan a la nueva cultura? ¿Cómo describen esa experiencia de aprender un nuevo idioma y una nueva forma de vivir? ¿Mantienen contacto con su país de origen? ¿Cómo se cultivan las relaciones familiares en la distancia? ¿Cómo se transforma la relación que tienen con sus padres? ¡Únete a nosotros en este video para descubrir la experiencia de aprendizaje y adaptación de seis inmigrantes hispanos en los Estados Unidos!

Translation: Youth is so loaded with desires, goals and hopes that motivate not only the full development of the individual, but also the future of communities. Whether out of love or rebellion, young people multiply what they have learned in a wide range of possibilities, always trying to surpass their ancestors for the better. But what happens when the paths lead to distant lands, where culture and language are unknown worlds? What are the needs of a young Hispanic who emigrates because of his family's decision? What obstacles do they face? How do they adapt to the new culture? How do you describe that experience of learning a new language and a new way of living? Do you maintain contact with your country of origin? How are family relationships cultivated in the distance? How did your relationship with your parents change?

Join us in this video to discover the learning and adaptation experience of six Hispanic immigrants in the United States!

Immigration is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, full of uncertainties and desires, but when the journey ends, and the speed of the machine settles, there is an important decision that everyone must make: embrace the new culture, abandoning the previous life or conjugate the past, the present and the future in a new, augmented version of themselves.
​
Join us in this video to explore the experience of culture shock and adaptation of five Hispanic immigrants in the United States. We will learn about the customs and traditions that they preserve from their country of origin and which ones they have adapted from the United States.

Metamorfosis del inmigrante / Metamorphosis of the Immigrant

1/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Migrating is one of the most important decisions a person can make. It implies abandoning the previous sowing, and perhaps the first harvest, to embrace a new land, full of possibilities. Whoever emigrates starts from zero and sharpens his learning process and personal growth. This process, so loaded with desires, modifies the human experience, enriches it, transforms it.In this video we will listen to the testimony of six Hispanic American immigrants who are reborn every day in the United States. How have their lives changed since they set foot in the Northlands? How has the United States changed their vision of the world and their desires? What have they gained in this process? What have they lost? Are their personalities the same or different? What do they keep from their cultural heritage? What new customs have they added to their repertoire? What would their ancestors think about this transformation? Join us on this intimate and personal journey of human transformation, where the metamorphosis of the immigrant unfolds.

The topic of immigration generates enormous debates in the United States, especially when it comes to the issue of working. Some citizens are convinced that immigrants represent a threat to the economy as they displace the citizen workforce. Others think that immigrants who cross the border come seeking government assistance without paying their taxes. All these ill-founded myths have made the headlines of certain political pamphlets in recent years. The truth is that many of the immigrants who come from Latin America and the world are highly trained people either in professions or trades, and they strengthen the country's economy. The United States is a multicultural and multiethnic region due to the immigration of workers. In this video, we will meet six Hispanic workers who emigrated from their country for different reasons and have decided to develop their careers in the United States. You will discover what they do and what they think about their professions. They will also compare their academic experience in their home countries with the experience in the U.S.A. Stay with us and find out what Hispanic migrant workers have to say and contribute.
