Final Project 2 Over the course of the class, I learned and understood new terms associated with ethnicity and forms of discrimination. In week one table 1, my answers were inaccurate and at random because of the lack of knowledge. After retaking the survey my answers were mostly correct 9 out of ten were right. This is because all the projects and assignments completed in past days, allowing us to learn about genocide, immigration, faith motivated hate crimes, religious groups, stereotypes and misconceptions. One of the biggest misconceptions that people face on a daily basis is the official language of the land. Some of the elderly keep the conception of white man rule the land and those who do not belong to that group have to adhere to their rules. They also make statements, such as, “speak English this is America”. There is no dought English is an important language to know, but there are also others that come with immigrants from different parts of the world. During the Interview with Hector Garcia, he was able to express his ideas on diversity. The result of the interview help me analyze how others ideas as similar as well as different in some aspects. The United States has been facing many obstacles because of diversity. The differences in people which make one person differentiate from another create difficult circumstances because of the lack of understanding among them. As Mr. Garcia stated everyone should get along, and there should not be any obstacles because an Indian fails to understand an English man. Another example of a challenge would be the result of the war in Iraq. Because of the attack, people became defensive and started to classify every person as the enemy as long as it fit the description. Many have been discriminated against and even gotten hurt
