Discussion Post: Migration, Cultural Grouping and Othering
Prompt:
• To define and understand "What is 'America(n)'", social scientists employ terms and concepts to identify beliefs and values that are commonly associated with American society.
• However, scholars also employ terms and concepts to identify beliefs and values about what (and who) 'America(n)'" excludes - in other words, what America(s) is not.
• Migration is - and always has been - an embroiled social, economic and political topic in the United States. Discuss migration in terms of the "irrationality of ethnocentrism."
