Question

With increased immigration and greater diversity in the U.S. population, evidence of cultural diversity can be seen in many homes. This map shows the regional differences in the percentage of the population over age 5 who speak a language other than English at home. For the United States as a whole, 17.9 percent of the population—almost one-fifth—fit into this category. Eight percent of the population say they speak English less than very well. What implications does this have for the regions most affected? How might it influence relations between different generations within households?
