The event currently occurring within society as described in the nonfiction story "Familiar Strangers" is:
- The act of new immigrants moving to America from closer countries has changed the way families associate with their heritage.

In the provided quotation, the author highlights that new Americans, due to the proximity of their home country, do not have to completely disconnect from their place of origin as previous immigrants did. This suggests that the geographical closeness allows for a different relationship with their cultural heritage compared to immigrants who had to cross oceans, emphasizing a shift in how families maintain connections with their roots.
