...Capstone Checkpoint Name Axia College of University of Phoenix Cultural Diversity ETH 125 Instructor September 16, 2010 Capstone Checkpoint This cultural diversity class has helped me to understand the social, cultural, and economic conditions that affect ethnic and racial groups in the U.S. Sometimes the fact that all citizens started as immigrants from other countries and faced similar struggles with assimilation is forgotten. The same struggles faced by the current influx of Hispanic Americans and other groups in America are the same social, cultural, and economic issues faced by previous ethnic and racial minority groups that are currently considered a staple of the U.S. population. My family is classified as part of the Japanese American cultural background; this was a particularly interesting learning area as it was something that I had never given much thought. I think the learning about the struggles my ancestors endured when they came to this country has helped me to view immigration and the treatment of immigrants much differently. The immigrant groups that are more prevalent today are part of America’s successful future and should be treated as such. Helping to make the average immigrant a contributing member of society through bilingual education and programs making the transition easier will benefit America as well as the immigrant. By the year 2050 America will continue to grow in racial and ethnic diversity, particularly with the...

...Joshua R Valentin 11/03/2011 Jamie Fox Eth/125 Capstone Checkpoint What information about race and ethnicity in the United States has helped you better understand or relate to specific minority groups? The information that helped me better understand different minority groups are the statistics that were reviewed about the influence these groups have on society. For instance just last week we reviewed statistics on the different trends Asian americans have on voting throughout the years. Along with a total income, how many Asians graduate from college, or how many Asians earn six figure incomes. These statistics made me get a better understanding of the influence and impact different groups have on the society. Have you learned something new about your own cultural history? Yes I have, when it comes to the history of Puerto Rico. Many people don’t realize that Puerto Rico has and still has a very rich Artful history. Many philosophers, writers, poets, and artists come from Puerto Rico. It made me understand more of the struggles my people have gone through throughout the years and helped me understand what came out of it. Trends in immigration will continue to shape the face of the United States. What will this face look like in the year 2050? I think that immigration will continue to shape the face of the United States but at some point in the future there will be a tighter hole to go through. As problems with the economy continue, more and more jobs will become...
