The somali culture is based on the islamic religion and is very interchangable. The roots of the culture originated from the muslim world. Therefore Its clear to see what temptations the first generation somalian youth have to face when living in a county such as America. The two cultures have completely different ways of life as do most opposing culures. The main one in my opinion is religion.
Seeing as America has an array of many different religions that people practice. Christian being the main one. Somali youth including me face tempations everyday and everywhere. From mainstream media, to the schools we attend, friends we obtain and the fashion trends. there is very little intrest in maintaning a balance between the two worlds among some. on the other hand we have the complete rejection on anything concerning "America". Even though many of the somali familes have made America their permentant home and many are U.S citizens. The connection between my story and 1984 is, although you know somethings don't specifically comply with your orders or morals sometimes you just break the rules. in order to satisfy your personal pleasure
