Immigrant Family Article Analysis
On my search on immigrant families I came across an article that I found very interesting. The name of the article is The 7 Biggest Challenges Facing Refugees and Immigrants in the US; here is the link if you want to take a look at it https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/the-7-biggest-challenges-facing-refugees-and-immig/. I found the article interesting because it explains the main challenges immigrants face in a way that’s easy to understand. I am first generation in the United States so I am very passionate about this topic, and I know that this article could give good information to those who are looking to learn more. Not only that but the article mentions a lot of the same things the book does, for example both the article and the

    Hi Brooke! This is a great response to all three articles and their use of ethos, pathos, and logos. Especially in your third paragraph about reading of the Syria Supper Club. The example with the real life stories from the refugees is a great use of logos. The use of real life examples is a great way to convince the audience. Also, I agree with your statement that the article “convinces the audience that it is important to help others no matter what their religion is.” Overall your responses really displayed the use of ethos, pathos, and logos in the readings.…

    One of the main reasons immigrants came to the United States was because of the industrial growth. This wasn’t the only reason immigrants came to the US. Part of the `reason was because of problems in other countries, such as political unrest in Germany or Anti-Semitism and draft in Russia(Doc.1). As a result of this industrial growth, America grew immensely. For example, one Irish immigrant woman that was interviewed was telling her story about her childhood in Ireland. “My mother kept house and my father had no work but just the bit of land we had, to work at it, and give the cream of the milk to England for everything.” Neither of her parents had jobs so they had a hard time paying rent on their house. There was no place for a bed in their…

    Every day, Americans of all races encounter the problem of walking into a store and hearing people of other ethnicities speaking other languages. It is frustrating to have to interrelate with other individuals and not be able to connect fully with them because of a linguistic barrier. In the articles, The F Word by Dumas, Mother Tongue by Tan and Aria by Rodriguez, the difficulties of being an immigrant are stated. Many immigrants have problems adapting to a new society and sometimes society does not understand. Every day, they endure many problems such as not being understood, having to learn a new language, and discrimination.…

    Many people feel it’s not fair that these "illegals" are receiving federal and state benefits that they don't deserve. When this child is born, the child automatically receives many benefits if he/she is an anchor baby. Their parent is illegal and cannot work and so they apply for food stamps and many other governmental programs. These anchor babies are a burden on schools, hospitals, taxpayers, and so on. "If there's abuse in the system where , pregnant women are coming in to have babies simply because they can do it, then there ought to be greater enforcement," Said President Bush "That's [the] legitimate side of this. Better enforcement so that you don't have these, you know, 'anchor babies,' as they're described, coming into the country."…

    My reading response focus is on the policy brief ? The Future of Immigrant Children? by authors Ron Haskins and Marta Tienda. The Latino population in the US accounts for a huge percentage of schoolchildren and many of these children are falling behind in school. Being bi-lingual creates a learning barrier that puts Latino children behind other racial groups in terms of academic achievement. There is a low educational achievement among immigrant children, which can be addressed with policy changes that would increase preschool attendance, improve teaching in English and increase their attendance at post secondary level of education. These policy changes aims to improve achievement of Latino children, which would ultimately lead to increased social and economical mobility and also productivity on a national level.…

    Children are raised in many different cultures all over the world. As we know, cultures differ from place to place. They have different rules, values, roles, and even communication patterns. An example of this would be a French person greeting someone, and an American greeting someone else. The French say hello by kissing each other on both cheeks. As Americans, we tend to shake hands. These things are what determine how a child will turn out after being brought up in that culture. Children growing up with Anglo-European roots are taught to value their independence, boldness, equality, achievement, self-help, and self-directedness.…

    I chose to look at the Hispanic culture. Hispanic families put the utmost importance on family. This means they support each other in any way they can financially, emotionally, and socially. Hispanic families tend to be very close and care more about the whole then the individual; older siblings will often take care of the younger ones. In Hispanic families, the males tend to take on the role of authority with the eldest in charge. Women in Hispanic families gravitate towards being the caretaker's; wife and mother. However, that job is changing into a working mother roll. In these families’ parents are inclined take a lot of pride in their kids. The parents want their children to get a good education but do not often contribute to the child's…

    No one wants to be the bearer of bad news. In my Mexican family, it is a type of taboo to talk about bad news because it brings bad luck. For my family, it is debatable whether being part of the LGBTQ+ community is a bad or insignificant thing. It is believed that it is better not to talk about this kind of sensitive topics to save others’ discomfort. I decided to come out of the closet with a letter. I wanted to be clear that I was not straight. The steps I took to “come out” to my parents were: brainstorming for my letter, going through many rough drafts, being satisfied with the final draft, presenting the letter, and living post-letter.…
