America: A Melting Pot
.... been words or types of agriculture but these do not begin to relate to the true meaning of the melting pot theory.
In today's society most ethnic groups have to become accustomed to an American way of life which means the English language.

Qualities That Distinguish Successful Leaders In The Community
.... I would go into my third issue by explaining direction that in order to reach your goals and be leader, you have to become an expert in finding options and picking the best one for each situation you are in.
