Chapter 15

Chapter five teen has a lot of interesting information regarding the Caribbean's, Central Americans, and the Soviet Jews. The section of the chapter that drew interest to me was reading about the Dominican and Haitian people. I found out that Dominicans people had entered in the US  by tourist visas and many of them had came. The Dominican American population were high in the East coast areas mainly in Long Island and New York area. Most of them came here in by migration and most of them worked in garment factories. The book also stated that most women worked as maids. In our community, we do not really see many Dominican people, but in the East Coast is where most of them are. I remember watching MTV and some of the episodes of the TV shows are consisted of much more Italian people along with Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. 

The Haitian people are in contrast with the Dominicans. Haiti is known as one of the most poorest countries in our world today. It is described as one of the "desperate" countries. There is not very many Haitian people in the US, but the areas that there is the most are communities in Miami which is known as "Little Haiti". The Haitian community has grown much more than the 1980's in various parts of the US. The biggest natural disaster that had struck Haiti a few years ago was a very sad and traumatic event that had disrupted and damaged so many people in the country. Think about living in a country that is poor as it is and they don't have much resources, just got struck by a natural disaster. Thankfully, many countries including the USA at the largest helped the community with food, clothing, water, construction ,and rebuilding the country for the people to living in and be happy is the biggest change someone (s) can contribute.
