Part One: (15 Points) (5 pages)
In this essay, your group will be immersing itself in one of the ethnic groups prominent in the U.S. today. Included but not limited to are the specific European groups, Asian groups, and Latina groups. Identify the specific group you will be studying and submit the name of the group by Monday, June 24th, 2024
by email.
The first aspect of the assignment is to interview a person or persons from your chosen ethnic group. Your interview will focus on immigration experience, discrimination, assimilation and coping strategies. Here are some suggestions for interview questions. However, you are not limited to these questions.
• What, in their opinion, were the pluses and minuses of emigration?
• How did they adjust to the new society?
• Which norms and values were changed and which remained the same?
• When their families arrived in the U.S., were they surprised by anything they
found?
• Why did they choose to settle where they did?
• Did they feel that they were welcomed by the dominant society here?
• Were there any norms and values that created particular difficulties for them?
• Which customs from the old country do they continue to practice today?
• In your visit to their community what did you observe?
You should not merely report the questions and answers in a Q and A fashion. Instead, you should write a narrative of your interview that includes your observations and comments about the process of the interview. For example, was there anything that you learned from this interview that surprised you? Hopefully you will also have the opportunity to visit their community.
