ABSTRACT
The article is based on two important questions concerning the act of migration and the troubles the immigrants encounter after World War II: how can migrating from hometown/ native country to another place be examined under the circumstances of civilization? How the problems of identity, assimilation, integrity, hybridism and hopelessness can be explained within the impacts of migration or Diaspora? The study focuses on the paradoxical word civilization itself and the victims of the civilized hunters. It includes the memories told by the immigrants themselves, the interviews made with them and social analysis done by the Professional sociologists and psychologists so as to justify the thesis statement; Adapting to a new and different culture is so difficult that people encounter various troubles during getting accustomed there. The consequences of migration incorporating children in particular within the frame of generational conflicts and contradictions are emphasized as well. Additionally the study presents the family life of the couples having hybrid children and expresses the seriousness of the troubles faced after migration. Finally, each essential point described above is so significant that they justify the argumentation based on "being outsider inside the outside" is to say "becoming the slave of the freedom which is valid just for the natives".
