SOC 1101 LAB EXERCISE #5 (VIDEO ASSIGNMENT): "RAIN IN A DRY LAND"
Instructions: After viewing the video, please answer the following questions in the space provided below.
1. What is the impact on parent-child relationships when parents rely on children to serve as translators or sources of information about American customs?2. In 14-year-old Sahara's view, "America is better. You can focus on your education. You don't have to worry about cooking. You can go to school, read books and just go to bed. When I turn 18, nobody can boss me around. I can go anywhere I want. I'm free. This is America." If you were Sahara's parent, teacher, counselor or friend, how would you respond?3. Arbai seems unable to address Sahara's behavior. (Sahara has slapped her mother, stayed out late, acted up in school, and insists on seeing a boy against her mother's wishes), if you were Arbai, what would you do?4. What might case workers or school personnel do to help Sahara and Arbai? What would be the likely consequences of traditional school discipline such as suspension?Ali refuses his teacher's request to talk about his life before coming to America. How might a teacher distinguish between a student who is merely uncooperative and one who does not want to deal with past trauma or potential embarrassment?
