Somali returnees adjust to their new home

Many Somali parents living in the UK say their children have lost their way, consumed by Western culture and are sending them back to their former home. Somali journalist Jamal Osman has met the returnees as they struggled to negotiate a very traditional society.

[@Downsolow]

It is the fault of the UK and every other country that give them everything. They're spoiled and feel entitled and their parents encourage that. If they treated them like they did my parents when they came to Canada,they would stay in their country. My parents had to be sponsored and they had to work. No benefits ,no help at all from the government. That's the biggest problem. If they had to work to keep a roof over their head and food on the table they would either work or go home.And the ones who turn to crime to make money,first offense,they get shipped back. I believe that no country should get involved in any other country's affairs. Take care of your own first. How many homeless are there in Western countries ? How many old people are unable to make ends meet because of shitty pensions? People who actually contributed and love their countries? Yet they spend millions to help people from other countries that their government won't even help. Would you let your kids starve to feed your neighbor's starving kids?

[@sarahstrong7174]

Be fair though. It is easy to make mistakes when you are young, especially if you have not had the right education & training from parents & teachers. It is necessary to introduce young people to choice- making gradually starting from when they are very young, starting with small things so that they gradually learn that it is important to go through the process, considering what positive & negative things may happen as a result of their choices. Sometimes let them fail in the small decisions so they learn that choices have consequences. "No, I am not giving you money to buy sweets today. Yesterday I gave you your pocket money & told you it has to last for the week. You spent it all, so now you have to wait till Saturday for more money." (If you want to be kind offer a piece of fruit instead.) Also if you forbid them to do something it is important to sit down calmly with them & explain fully what harm might come from doing that thing. Explain in a kind way why you decided that, so they get to see your decision making process & learn from that. Teach them that it is O.K. to tell friends that you want time to think about whether you want to join in with something before doing so. Maybe offer to do something they will enjoy with them instead sometimes, if the activity in question seems unwise. Tell them about decisions you have made in your own life & encourage them to ask you if they want to understand choices or want help making a decision.

If they prefer and are happier with their traditional Somalian culture, then they should stay in their own country where they would feel more comfortable. If they decide to migrate to other countries, then they must learn to assimilate into their new way of life and learn the new culture and have respect for the host country and its people.

[@Archiveofobscurity]

Prejudice and racism makes it much harder for people to assimilate. Scroll up this comments section and you will see a wall of racist abuse, just as an example. Its a two way process - show respect and you will receive respect, honour others and you will be honoured. And its not just about 'assimilation' anyway - people can bring their own culture with them and that culture can enrich the whole. A lot of the things you might take for granted today were brought over from other cultures (see the restaurants on any high street for instance). The diversity of a place like London is an example of this diversity in action.

[@Archiveofobscurity]

@Kazemi Groove basic respect has to be given though. Its the foundation of belonging and acceptance. You ain't going to be earning nothing if you are constantly disrespected for no reason!

@Kazemi Groove i do think migrants should learn the culture and language of the place they move to. But not just as a basic respect, for their own empowerment too. This is made difficult by racism, xenophobia, etc. Its a two-way equation always.

So should white Americans assimilate to Native American culture then? Immigrants adapt just fine, they follow the rules of traditions of the new country, but your racist brain can't stand people having their own beliefs and food that isn't yours, it's so simple it doesn't understand that you don't have to completely give up your culture to move to another country.
