1.) Small Businesses vs Big Corporations
Question: How are small local busninesses being affected by big corporations like Walmart? What struggles do small businesses go through to compete against other larger corporations?
2.) Minority Communities in NYC
Question: How do these groups (people of color) learn to assimilate and keep their cultural components simultaneously?
3.) Native Americans and reservation inequality
Question: How do their scarce resources and land affect their way of living? How do they maintain their culture going despite their struggles of poverty?
I have decided to settle on topic #3 which exlpores more into depth about Native Americans and their displacement throughout history and in today’s society.
Question: How has the displacement Native Americans undergone (having limited land, natural resources, and facing cultural appropiation) affect their way of living currently? How do they maintain their culture going despite these struggles?
Yesenia,
This is a really important and complex topic. I think you may want to narrow your focus somewhat. I see three different topics here, potentially: How have Native Americans been displaced historically? How are the effects of that displacement still being felt today? How have Native American communities dealt with the challenges posed by their displacement? I think it’s too much to try to take on all three in a project of this length/scope.
