WHY DOES ONE LEAVE HIS/HER COUNTRY?
And settles in other country
Far far away from their homeland.
Identity crises does not nessecairly mean that the person going through it does not know who he/she is (DUH)
But it also includes people who are struggling to maintain a balance between their past identity, and their new identity,
1. PAST ID. means origin of people.
2.PRESENT I.D. CURRENT COUNTRY.
Some of the things they go through ,
mother tongue becomes your second language, now as to communicate you have to adopt. English as your first language.(or the language of the country you are in).
Food change( getting use to local food),Taste buds have to be trained.
MORALS. There is a constant battle with your inlaid morals grinding against western morals.Religions practice change(PRACTICE IN MODERATION)
.These my friend are only some of the things he/she has to deal with or experience if one is, nor here nor there.
Now to the realty coming to term with new sense of ethnic and national identity.
The problem is ,IF one goes back if possible, Would one feel he belongs there,???? have the feeling of, not belonging anywhere anymore.
Hmmmmmmm???????
