Why does schorr think that views of history help to sustain prejudice against Mexican Americans?

History

Scrat [10]2 years ago
8 0

1. In his text "Revonverting Mexican Americans," the author Daniel Schorr talks about the ways in which Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were welcomed back to the country after WWII. He tells us that they are often the last people to be hired and the first ones to go. He also tells us that prejudice against Mexican-Americans is sustained by the views that Americans have of history, for example, in the battle of the Alamo. He thinks that such stories view Mexicans as inherently lazy and dishonest, which perpetuates discrimination.

2. He believes that resentment among Mexican Americans will not be contained because people will eventually begin to demand rights and equality. He argues that they "can be trodden on just so long." This is based on the fact that Mexican Americans are an essential part of the country, and they deserve the same rights as everyone else.

The Welfare Reform Act of 1996 ended the concept of entitlements by requiring recipients of welfare to find work within two year
GalinKa [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The goal of the welfare reform act is to reduce the number of individuals that are dependent on government for sustenance.

On August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed into law "The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996". The law stipulated that people could receive no more than five years of government benefits in a lifetime. The law required a certain population of welfare recipients to be working and others who could not get a job to participate in community service. Recipients who did not belong to any of these two categories would be stopped from enjoying any welfare assistance.

The program was targeted at promoting the work culture among the Americans. Transiting from a totally welfare based system to a work based system. This welfare reform forced some poor Americans to find work to do and stopped being dependent on the government while some who could not get work or who are not educated enough to get involved in community services remained in poverty. The only flaw of this reform was that it did not find work for these people, it only made it a requirement to benefit from the welfare system,

. Which of the following statements about President Andrew Johnson is true?
spayn [35]
The correct answer is D. : he was raised under the conditions of extreme poverty.  An example showing his poverty was the fact that he was born in a log cabin, which he could use to gain people's favourable opinion of him.

Being this poor, he could not afford a good education (option A is false), and favoured smaller farmers rather than planter aristocracy (option B is false). He was not impeached, but failed to secure a nomination for re-election from the Democrats.(option C is false)

Why are some of President Lincoln’s ideas considered contradictory?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Some of President Lincoln's ideas have been considered contradictory because, during his presidency, he made many decisions that were different from what he had previously expressed on the subject.

Thus, for example, although during his discussions with Senator Douglas, Lincoln defended a gradual limitation to slavery in the country, he flatly refused to be abolitionist; but in 1863, through his Emancipation Proclamation, he abolished slavery in the territory of the United States.

To understand these contradictions, we must take into account the greatness of President Lincoln as president and as a human being. Without a doubt, it was a president who tried to maintain the unity of America as a nation, and made decisions that he did not ideologically share but understood necessary to maintain that union.
