I chose Cuban people as the ethnic group

Research the immigration of one distinct cultural or ethnic group into the United States. Choose one of the groups discussed in Ch. 6-14. You must request permission from your instructor if you want to research another group not included in the text.

Create an 8- to 12-slide presentation of your research that includes the following:

• What is the history of the group’s immigration into the United States? Is immigration from this group on the rise or declining?
• Historically, where has this group settled? Is this changing?
• What is one social issue related to the rights of your selected group? What obstacles have they encountered either in the past or present? Be specific. Research one incident that led to a court case.

Include detailed speaker notes and images that support your content. Each slide should have three to four bullets of text which are a high-level overview of what is included in your speaker notes. You may write the speaker notes in the notes section of your selected presentation tool or in a separate Word document.

Note: Arab American population excluded from White total. All data are for 2010. Percentages do not total 100 percent, and when subcategories are added, they do not match totals in major categories because of overlap between groups (e.g., Polish American Jews or people of mixed ancestry such as Irish and Italian).

The United States is a diverse nation and is becoming even more so, as shown in Table 1.1. In 2010, approximately 40 percent of the population were members of racial minorities or were Hispanic. This represents one out of three people in the United States, without counting White ethnic groups or foreign-born Whites.

As shown in Figure 1.1, between 2010 and 2060, the Black, Hispanic, Asian, Arab, and Native American population along with those identifying as biracial or multiracial in the United States is expected to increase to about 63 percent. Although the composition of the population is changing, problems of prejudice, discrimination, and mistrust remain. This trend toward “majority-minority” got underway noticeably in 2011 when Latino and non-White babies outnumbered White newborns for the first time in the United States (Bureau of the Census 2012d).

FIGURE 1.1 Population of the United States by Race and Ethnicity, 2010 and 2060 (Projected)

According to projections by the Census Bureau, the proportion of residents of the United States who are White and non-Hispanic will decrease significantly by the year 2060. By contrast, the proportion of both Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans will rise significantly.

Ranking Groups

NOTE: You MUST cite your sources. When you quote the textbook or any other source YOU MUST use “quotes” around the text you use when NOT WRITING IN YOUR OWN WORDS. (Include the author’s last name & pg. no. in parenthesis immediately following the quote.)

For the third and final essay you are required to either visit a museum and discuss two works of art that you have observed in person.

You may visit a museum where you will have access to art works from the time periods/cultures addressed in this class (art history from the earliest civilizations through the 20th Century) or, you also have the option of discussing contemporary art viewed at a museum or gallery.

*This essay is meant to give you freedom to use the skills you have developed in this course to select and discuss any work you like. The ***Introduction to the text book*** identified and defined several ***terms for discussing art*** Discuss two works *in these terms*. Where possible, please be sure to include a link to the museum’s website. (at least 3 Pages) plus references.

Essays, however, a high standard of writing is expected, including structure (Introduction, body of text in paragraphs, and Conclusion), use quotes were necessary, and submit a simple WORKS CITED page. Write essays with integrity and originality. No plagiarism!

Fred S. Kleiner

Scenario:

You are the director of safety and security at a major manufacturing plant. The plant has 1,800 workers and runs three shifts a day. The night shift has about 400 workers on it and runs from midnight to 8:00 AM. The security supervisor for the night shift reports to you that there are some unusual activities going on during the night shift involving three of the younger male employees. You decide that you will visit the plant during the night shift to observe this behavior for yourself.

The night you arrive, you realize that you know one of the three young men involved, and he has always been a good worker and a very serious person. You note right away that all three men have an extraordinarily high energy level. They are having a hard time settling down at their assembly points on the line. They are whooping and hollering all the time over the noise of the shop. They are aggressive to the point of pushing other employees around physically. You notice extreme cases of acne and body odor on all three men when you walk by them. Their eyes are glassy and dilated.

At their 3:30 AM lunch break, they cross the street to an all-night diner. You notice that they sit with a man wearing a motorcycle jacket with local gang colors. They do not eat, but only have coffee. You see them pay cash to the man with the jacket and he hands one of the three men a small package. When the man with the motorcycle jacket leaves, he mounts a motorcycle and rides off. The three men go to the men’s bathroom in the diner. They are in the bathroom for almost 10 minutes. When they come out, they are boisterous, agitated, and overly animated with their movements.

In your paper, answer the following questions based on the scenario:

• How does the drug use in this company affect the coworkers, safety, and company production?
• What is the likely drug being abused by the three workers under suspicion?
• Why did that drug get identified?
• Would it be better to involve the police immediately? Why or why not?
• Should you refer the workers to the Employee Assistance Program? Explain your decision.
• Does the association of the motorcycle gang with the company workers impact the company?
• Why type of liability could the company face if it does not take definitive action concerning this situation?

PROMPT: The context that
had created and supported the Jeffersonian world view (that of the
yeoman farmer as the bedrock of American democracy and the American
economy) disappeared by the mid-nineteenth century, prompted by a shift
toward an economy based on commerce, manufacturing, and larger scale
agricultural endeavors. What is your best explanation for why this
change took place? What impact did this change have upon the ethics and
civics of what it meant to be an American? Be sure to consider change
over time and geographical differences in your analysis.

Hint: Think
broadly here as you scattershoot/concept map your essay before writing.
What were the economic causes of this change (think about markets,
productivity, trade policies, etc.)? What role did technological change
play? Consider social causes (conflicts between groups, classes, races,
genders), political causes (new voters, political parties, institutional
leadership, etc.), government (state, federal, various branches), and
expansion of the nation. Think also about intellectual changes (new
ways of thinking, religion, and conceptions what it means to be an
American and questions of ethics and civics) and changes in environment.
You need not answer all of these questions in your essay, they are
here to guide your thinking on the prompt.

Hint
2: Make sure that you integrate your discussion of Change over Time and
Ethics/Civics throughout your analysis, not just in one paragraph. This
means that Change over Time and Ethics/Civics WILL NOT be key points in
your rule of three thesis statement.

Requirements for the Final Essay

  thesis statement, 3 paragraphs of the body (each with their own thesis
