Abstract

In this work there is analyzed the experience of teenagers born abroad from Spanish families, and more concretely Galicians, emigrants and that have come to Spain on their own or with the return of his families, putting special attention on his incorporation to the Spanish society, the contrast with the values systems of our society and theirs of origin and assimilation, in his case, of the values and family habits, depending on they come from Latin-American or European countries. We can emphasize the language as a sign of identity an divide the cultural differences in two big groups; those who find a safer life, better infrastructures, more opened, but less human and that who perceives that there are more permissiveness but fewer differences between the host country and the country of origin. The first one come from Latin-American countries and the second come from European countries.
