　　1. 探索家族历史的直接动因是，在一个全球移民潮的大背景下，越来越多的人会远离家乡，住在一个新的文化环境之下。举例，在美国的亚洲移民后代会感觉他们和社会主流人群不一样，这就催生了他们的好奇心，想搞清楚自己的家族起源和身世背景。 2. 这样的做法同时带来了好处和坏处。首先，这有利于人民搞清楚家族有没有遗传病，并尽早进行防备和治疗。第二，对于那些移民二代们，了解了自己的身世和来历有利于他们找回自我肯定。 3. 当然，这也有可能带来麻烦。举例，如果美国黑人一天过于痴迷祖先的历史，他们就会发现他们的前辈们被白人奴役和折磨的血泪史。这样一来，他们对于白人，甚至是整个社会的愤怒和敌意就会点燃，这就是俗称的种族主义。

　　In the contemporary society, there is a tendency that more people have a desire to trace back their family history. Personally, I believe it is a natural response in an era of immigration, and its merits override the demerits. The main reason why people have a big motivation and curiosity in looking for the root of family is about the population movement in a deep globalization, which is called the thriving of immigration. For example, today, there are a large number of descendants of Asian migrators born and living in the America. In this society whose population mainly consists of white and black men, they gradually find that their physical characters like colors of skins, hairs and eyes are distinctive from their peers around. Such difference drives them to consciously explore their origins of family, for the purpose of answering their question of “who am I?”. The efforts of mapping out the family tree bring benefits and risks simultaneously. On the one hand, from medical point view, it helps us to be aware of certain medical conditions which are proven to be genetically-linked, for example, diabetes, asthma, obesity and various other diseases that run through the blood line. By understanding our genetic make-up, it provides us an opportunity for an early lifestyle intervention to mitigate the adverse effects of these diseases. In addition, the discovery of family history is an ideal means by which people, especially young migrators in an exotic environment can recover the self-identity and self-esteem. On the other hand, the main worrying aspect of this trend is about the racism. For example, if African-American citizens laid too much emphasis on tracing their clan origins, they would be irritated with the history of their ancestors who were enslaved and mistreated in the past centuries. Consequently, the social rebellions and conflicts between the black and white populations in the U.S would reoccur inevitably. In summary, the primary reason behind the phenomenon is personal desires of immigrants to seek self-identity, and generally speaking, this is a positive trend, which is applicable in the detection and prevention of hereditary diseases, as well as boosting self-esteem.(354字)
