Answer 5

take it easy @tester97

@esshotwired
Really though, try starting with Hispanics as your first one.

Answer 6

That is not where Americans learned Spanish. Think jobs...

Answer 7

And, how do they impact the jobs of natural born Americans?

Answer 8

Others may say that they take jobs because they are willing to work for less.

Answer 9

So my two ways can be:
1. 1/4 of immigrants have created jobs in America and some of them are Mexicans
2. mexicans are willing to work for less money
Is that good enough?

Answer 10

The part I do not get is the "two ways in which that group has impacted that group." The group impacted the group?

Next, every group other than Native Americans is an immigrant.

Answer 11

@e.mccormick the part is supposed to say "two ways in which that group has impacted the United States"

Answer 12

I am sure it is meant as how has the immigrant group effected our country. And, for the purposes of this question I am also nearly sure that it is referring to the modern landscape of nations.

Answer 13

1 doesn't really apply to hispanics in specific. 2 could work.

Answer 14

what about any towns that they may have influenced? i don't know any towns but if you do that would be great

Answer 15

Think California. Caucasians are a minority there now.

Answer 16

i don't know much about california. do you mean that caucasian population is decreasing?

Answer 17

Nope, the Hispanic population has increased enough that Caucasians are now the minority population there.

Answer 18

Anywho, I have to go now. @e.mccormick should be able to help I think. Have a great day.

Answer 19

do you think i should use caucasians instead of mexicans then?

Answer 20

No.... they aren't an immigrant group. Now I really have to go lol.

Answer 21

@e.mccormick can you help me now? i am still confused

Answer 22

Well, remember that Hispanics were the original settlers of California. Other groups were the later immigrants there. Also, every group has been the minority at some point. Went over all this in a sociology class. So I can answer on basically any group you pick.

Answer 23

A really good example is Jews. When they came to the USA they were ostracized. Then they took over one part of industry for themselves and changed it drastically. Look into the history of Tin Pan Alley and the particular industry it is part of if you want to know more.

Answer 24

hey, hey , hey!!!!

Answer 25

I am really confused. Can i ask you some questions that will help me? @e.mccormick

Answer 26

Sure. Ask questions.

Pick your minority group is the first thing. Then look for their contributions is the second. So, if you like Hispanics for a group, fine. I was just giving another example.

So what part are you having an issue with?

Answer 27

Well since I am Greek, i was wanting to do Greeks.

first, would a town(s) that they populate majorly be a way they affect the US?

Answer 28

Any people change a location, but they also tend to add to the culture as a whole. For example, My Big Fat Greek Wedding was nominated for an Oscar. There are other examples of Greek culture changing entertainment in the USA. The Gyro has become a huge thing in fast food. On and on, there are little bits and pieces of Greek culture that have leaked into American culture.

Answer 29

So for one way I could say, the Greek culture has influenced the American culture mostly because of the popular foods, and the Greek entertainment is also influencing America. Is this good?
That would be one way, but I would need one more. Also, like I said before, would cities have an influence. For exmaple, Astoria, NY, is heavily populated with Greeks.

Answer 30

Exactly. And then you give examples of how this has contributed to these things. Some may be good some bad. But all are things people bring to the DAC (Dominant American Culture) and change it with. When people make a community that is separate, it is both good and bad. It is good because it gives them a safe place to express their culture. It is bad if it leads to racial tensions.

Answer 31

For my second way would this work??
Greeks have been spreading throughout the states. They originate mainly in Astoria, NY, but can be found anywhere. Greek festivals are a big hit everywhere too. People go to Greek festivals, and they are influenced by the culture found there and the food.

Am i missing anything or do I need to add anything?

Answer 32

It looks pretty decent. Put it all together and make sure it sounds good side by side. As in that one point leads to the other. Which point is first might make it easier to go to the second.

Answer 33

Would the second way make sense to put first?

Answer 34

Try it both ways and read them and see which sounds better.

Answer 35

Thank you so much! I hope I didn't waste your day. I have to post another question up soon. If you are not doing anything, could you help me? If not, I totally understand, and I will worry about it tomorrow. Thanks again.

Answer 36

np. Have fun.

Answer 37

You too. I tagged in my other question just so you can find it easier.
