In the nonfiction story "familiar strangers" the author writes the following quotation: "others, particularly in civil rights something different is happening. having the old country two hours away by jet, instead of across an ocean, means these new americans don't have to slam the door on their new place of origin as other immigrants have." the above quotation best describes what events currently occurring within society?

The act of new immigrants moving to America from closer countries has changed the way families associate with their heritage.

Explanation:

The author of this excerpt is contrasting two different waves of immigration. On the one hand, he talks about immigration from an "Old Country" that is across the sea. This refers to the original immigrants that arrived in America: Europeans. However, the author tells us that this is different from the way immigration operates nowadays. He tells us that now, the "Old Country" (the places of origin of immigrants) is only a couple hours away by plane. This difference has been very significant, and it has impacted the way people relate to their heritage.
