Black citizens were the only group that did not all come to Texas willingly. In 3 sentences, describe the similarities in their experience to other immigrant groups.(4 points)
Despite not all coming to Texas willingly, black citizens and other immigrant groups share the experience of facing discrimination and marginalization upon arrival. They also had to adapt to a new culture and often had to work low-paying jobs to survive. Additionally, many faced challenges in preserving and passing down their cultural traditions and heritage in a new environment.
In 3 sentences, analyze the transportation infrastructure in your town or city. Do you think it is adequate enough to support the population? Explain.(4 points)
The transportation infrastructure in my town includes well-maintained roads, a network of public buses, and a few bike lanes. While it generally supports the population's daily commuting needs, there are challenges during peak hours with traffic congestion and limited parking spaces in certain areas. The town could benefit from improved public transportation options, such as increased bus frequency or the introduction of a light rail system, to better support the growing population and reduce traffic congestion.
In 3 sentences, differentiate between cultural assimilation and cultural accommodation. Focus on how Tejanos reacted to the newly dominant Anglo-American culture after Texas became a U.S. state.(4 points)
Cultural assimilation involves adopting the dominant culture's norms, values, and practices, while cultural accommodation allows for the preservation of one's own cultural identity while also adapting to the dominant culture. Tejanos in Texas faced pressure to assimilate into the Anglo-American culture after Texas became a U.S. state, leading some to adopt English language and customs while others chose to maintain their Hispanic heritage and traditions through cultural accommodation. This dual process of assimilation and accommodation among Tejanos demonstrates the complexity of cultural interactions in a changing social landscape.
