Essential Questions

We met as a group today and discussed what we already have planned, and we also brainstormed some of our essential questions. Here is what our group came up with.

* What difficulties do immigrants have when they are trying to begin a new life in the United States?
* Is the main reason people want to immigrate to the U.S. for a better life, or are there other reasons?
* Do immigrants like "America"? Why?
* How do different races feel about being in America?
* How do immigrant children adjust to the education system?
* How do immigrants overcome adversity?
* How many different cultures reside in the Boston area? What are their living styles?
* Do different cultural artists receive more or less predjudice? How is their art different from American artists?
* How are living habitats different among communities?

So...we have many great ideas. And, we have several plans of places to visit. Please post your comments to this blog, along with other questions you are wondering (about the topic) and see if you can add more to our discussion about essential questions.

My essential question:
Immigrants come to America to live a succesful life even though they face difficulties with racism every day.
How do all the racism prohibit them from excelling in American society?
Do immigrants feel that the exposure to American oppurtunities is worth all the racism that they face?-Ryan J.
