Identity Recognition of Immigrants in European Countries
Abstract
With the development of technology, nations worldwide are strengthening their interconnectedness. In this context, an increasing number of individuals, particularly those from less developed countries, exhibit a greater inclination to migrate and establish new lives in other countries. However, several obstacles hinder their smooth integration. Therefore, this paper explores factors that contribute to challenges in immigrants’ recognition of identity. In this essay, the author primarily examines the substantial disparities between their traditional cultural backgrounds and and the novel cultures they encounter. While endeavoring to accept and adapt to new lifestyles, some of them may experience doubts regarding their original identities. Besides, host countries invariably establish regulations and policies for immigrants that can exert both positive and negative influences on issues pertaining to personal identity recognition. This study specifically focuses on inquiries regarding immigrants’ identification by reviewing relevant documents and reports while consulting official websites for data and surveys.
