America-the most diverse country in the world has hundreds of different cultures and different languages. With so many nationalities and languages, a person from another country might think that there can’t be just one national language in the United States. In fact, English is the primary language in America and its most likely not going to change. Or is it? Most immigrants that immigrate to America come with the belief that they won’t lose their primary language and easily balance their foreign language with the English language. Unfortunately, American culture believes in something called “the melting pot” where we melt all cultures that come to America into one super culture. Conservatives believe in having English as the only language…show more content… Nguyen is an American novelist who emigrated from the Vietnam and used her life story to write about “the melting pot” in her article “The Good Immigrant Student”. A third author who also spoke out in light of America’s “melting pot” is Manuel Munoz. In Munoz’ article “Leave Your Name at the border” he talks about the issue of code-switching in a town that is only whites and Mexicans. Bich Minh Nguyen complicates Robert King’s argument on how the melting pot is a good conception by using pathos showing how Nguyen assimilates and gets over the fact that she was an immigrant.

King uses unique otherness because Americans share values such as English, education, justice, freedom, patriotism, and democracy. Although a majority of Americans still speak a different language, America as a whole is unified by the American values stated above. Bich Minh Nguyen supports this part of King’s argument by using bilingual education and television. For example, Nguyen states that “bilingual education is supposed to have become both a method of assimilation and a method of preservation, an effort to prove that kids can have it both ways” (Nguyen 460). Nguyen uses this as a means of proving that the melting pot is good in the way that it keeps some culture and doesn’t complete throw it away.
