In the Shoes of an Irish Immigrant
Consider the following:
You are an Irish immigrant fleeing crushing poverty to find prosperity for you and your family in New York. You speak both English and Irish and follow the Roman Catholic faith. While it was relatively easy immigrating to the United States, you are surprised by the amount of discrimination you face because of your ethnicity and religion. Eventually, you get a job at a factory making just enough to get by. If you speak out against the conditions at your factory, you may get fired and if you become politically active, there may be further hardships imposed upon you. How would you react to being placed in this situation?
Also, respond to what two other individuals. One response should be supportive while the other should discourage the course of action taken by your fellow classmate. When responding to your fellow classmates, any form of cyber-bullying or inappropriate commenting will be grounds for an automatic zero.
Your initial answer should be at least one paragraph (5-8 sentences) while your subsequent responses should be at least 2 complete sentences.
