Financial Changes

Question 1

Description BOOK: “The Distance Between Us by RENYA GRANDE”

We have addressed the issue of cultural trauma, the passing on of trauma from one generation to another, and the conflicts that arise due to adolescents’ immigration experiences. Discuss the effects of immigration on the defining characteristics of the Latino culture. It touches on drastic relationship changes, disruption of connection with support networks,

prolonged and adverse financial changes, severe discrimination and rejection, parents’ own psychological distress, and compromised caregiving

effectiveness.

The family members in The Distance Between Us exhibit some of these effects.

Our communities may exhibit those effects as well. In less than 750 words, tell me how you’re seeing the effects of cultural and immigration trauma in both the story and in our communities. Give EXAMPLES from the book and from your own experience.

Question 2

The Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act of the 21st Century form the foundation of the United States’ domestic response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Many legal and political voices have advocated that these acts have resulted in a reduction in the rights of citizens and a loss of civil liberties. Many other legal and political voices argue that in this “new world of terror” we must have more effective ways of preventing terror attacks.

With these differing perspectives in mind and after watching the required ABC Nightly News video segments, construct a paper that critically evaluates whether or not the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act unjustly and unreasonably inhibit individual rights, be sure to support your evaluation by addressing the US Constitution Bill of Rights and explain how they impact notions of social justice in the United States. The paper must be two to three pages in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style.
