Society, Migration and the Trans-Cultural Impact: A Hermeneutic Perspective

What does the impact of migration mean in a social context? This article aims to see migrants by taking their stories into account. Through the individual stories, the readers can see the way in which a bigger picture is emerged in terms of community, society and nation. By doing so, the authors want to show the way in which migrants integrate into a society, including both migrants having a residence permit and those who are undocumented, as these two groups of people do differ greatly. The cultural clash does mean the inner struggle and the outer struggle that a society has to confront with.
