    Spare Parts: Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot, and the Battle for the American Dream by Joshua Davis is the retelling of the true story of four undocumented teenagers and their journey to compete in the MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) underwater robotics competition. Davis does an impressive job at telling this raw and brutally true story of these kids who are here illegally but have lived here more of their lives and had to constantly worry about being found out and deported. The book doesn’t just tell their struggles to even make it to the competition but there personal struggles of being illegal immigrants and how in the following years our country made it harder and harder for them to get an education for being here illegally. Oscar actually deported himself and was banned from the United States for ten years before he even had a chance to try and gain citizenship. Even though these kids won the competition and beat a team from MIT that had plenty of resources, it didn’t do much for them once they graduated from high school.…

    Immigrants are being disrespected by Americans by wanting them to assimilate to their culture and forget their original culture. Americans want immigrants to forget their traditions and celebrate the Americans’ culture. When immigrants come to America, they bring their cultures with them, which gives Americans the ability to assimilate cultures to shape their identity. Many Americans live in communities that share one culture, which will convince them to assimilate to that culture’s traditions. In the article titled, “ Blaxicans and Other Reinvented Americans” by Richard Rodriguez, states that “I am Chinese and that is because I live in a Chinese city and because I want to be Chinese” 91.…

    Today, we are members of a society that is more connected than ever on a global scale. The internet and social media have given us access to the world, quite literally, at our fingertips with the means to communicate with people living entire continents away at any given moment. A consequence of this exposure is an increase in ethnocentrism, “the practice of judging all other cultures by one’s own culture” (Kendall 61). Citizens of the United States of America display a particularly strong representation of ethnocentrism, both positive and negative. On the other hand, the realization of our global citizenship encourages people to see others in context, viewing the world with cultural relativism, “the belief that the behaviors and customs of…
