Many immigration countries set a borderline between natives and immigrants. I mean that many residents live separtely according to the region. For example, in the U.S.A,  there are residential segregation of black. In Los Angels, whites live along the beach where it is comfortable to live and blacks live aroud the center city such as Lennox regarded as dangerous place. The number of hispanics is higher than that of whites, and blacks. They spread and live. In Canada, there are Indian streets and Italian streets and so on. Why did they set the borderlines like this? Because of convinience? Because of others?

Personally, I believe it is better to live as individuals. Of cource, family is together. In case, the host countries accept them favorably and there are many immigrants. I need this idea to realize multi-cultural society. I think the ability of communication increases and people can understand each other.

I think to live as group create the wall. Someone could think that this area is dangerous, and I do not want to go or someone might say here is better than over there. It might show little interest in others. They might have ideas living as groups, not countries.

However, this idea have a lot of difficulties. It is natural that same race gather as same place and the standards of their lives are different dependent on races. Actually, the rate of hard jobs of whites is low, but Hispanic or Black don’t, so it genarates. It is regarded as a problem of differences of income. Further more, they have different culture and religion. It creates hate crime or discrimination. In Europe, there was some troubles that natives attacked immigrants or mosque. On the other hand, there are examples that get along with immigrants.

I know it is very difficuclt, but I wish the society would be better living together with  less difference.
