Abstract
This essay discusses migration and integration in society, highlighting the critical perspectives surrounding mass migration. It distinguishes between voluntary migration for reasons such as work or pleasure and asylum-seeking migration, which often involves escaping danger or persecution. The essay explores how migration can offer opportunities for personal and societal growth, such as the pursuit of the American Dream and freedom. It also examines the concept of integration, contrasting it with assimilation, and emphasizes how both migrants and their host societies can benefit from cultural exchange. The author argues that integration is more beneficial than assimilation, as it fosters diversity and innovation. The essay concludes with a personal reflection on the importance of helping immigrants integrate into society for mutual enrichment.
