Answer to #1

family, and they send for more and more relatives and friends. In this way large groups of
people from one area in the old culture are re-settled in the new culture. As they establish
social relations with others of same ethnic background, a ghetto like situation arises. This
happens easily in cities, but is also noted in the ethnic patterns across the U. S., even in
small towns and farmlands.
