Conformity Part 2
As mentioned in my first blog, I want to focus on my parents' conformity rather than my grandparents. I feel that because I am closer with my parents, I can further understand they're emotions while growing up in America from another country. Originally, I wanted to just focus on my mom's journey as a first generation American from Czchekoslovakia with immigrant parents, adjusting to american cultures while her parents fell behind. But now, I want to compare the journey's of both my parents. My dad grew up in Morocco and later moved here with his family. He was more affected by the culture shock as my mom was born here in Wisconsin. I think the comparison between the two upbringings will be incredibly interesting, along with the conformity struggles they overcame as non-American families.
