Reflection Exercise 1

My professor gave us a list of questions to answer for this reflection paper, and we have to answer two. These are the two that I want to answer:

What is the most important antecedent (or reasons) that youth join gangs? Why do you think this? Do you think that the reasons differ for blacks or Latinos or Asians (or different types of Latinos or Asians)? Explain.

Tell me about Latinos and gangs. What similarities do they share with African Americans in terms of gangs? In which way is the Latino experience with gangs different from African Americans? What would you recommend to help stop gangs in Latino communities? Explain.

he explained that he wanted 1.5 pages for each question which results in 3 pages total. These questions relate to Chapter 2, 3, and 4 of our textbook which I have attached below. Students are not to use direct quotes from the book or any other source. Instead, paraphrase – put it in your own words. Students will get docked points if they use direct quotes.

Do not write the question. Rather, respond in complete sentences. Students will get docked points if they write the question.

Students who write three complete pages, follow general grammatical rules outlines in the syllabus (e.g. answer in paragraphs, each made of between 4-8 sentences), submit on time in a Word document attached in an email to me will receive full credit.
