Cultural Diversity and Americanization in the United States of America.

不同民族和文化融合成一个国家一直是美国面临的问题。20世纪90年代的S见证了全球政治舞台的剧烈变化，冷战的结束给东欧带来了一种新的趋势。一方面，前东欧民族冲突加剧，另一方面，欧洲共同体正在形成世界上一个巨大的政治、经济封锁。在社会经济不稳定的当今世界，多种种族群体的和谐共存对世界和平至关重要。美利坚合众国自成立以来一直面临着多样性。因此，我们将美国视为21世纪全球社会的潜在领导者，并考察了美国在三个领域的多元化和美国化管理方面的进展，即在城市地区、在迎合少数族裔和在美国艺术方面。许多问题，如平权行动、双语教育和多元文化主义，目前正受到公众的激烈辩论，我们仍需拭目以待。

Integration of diverse ethno-racial groups and cultures into one nation has always been an issue for the United States of America.The 1990's saw the drastic change in the global political arena with the end of the cold war bringing a newtrend in the Eastern Europe. On one hand the ethnic conflicts aggravated in the former Eastern Europe but on the other hand European Community is moving forward to form a gigantic political-, economic-block in the world.In such socio-economically unstable world of today, harmonious co-existence of diverse ethno-racial groups is crucial to the world peace. The United States of America has been facing diversity since its foundation. Thus we regarded USA a potential leader in the global society of the 21st Century and examined th progress in its management of diversity and Americanization in three areas ; i.e., in urban area, in catering to the minorities and in American art. Many issues, such as affirmative action, bilingual education and multiculturalism, are currently under fierce debate by the public and we still have to see how they will unfold.
