Week Six Discussion Questions

Here are some starter questions. Please answer one, or make up a question and answer it yourself. If you happen to think of a really good question, we might answer. :-D

1.At one point in the reading, N noted that many female workers feel obligated to remain “inside” and stick to domestic work in the manner perpetuated by their cultural traditions. What other factors might cause an undocumented worker to feel trapped in particular working situation?

2. There is a distinction between those who can hire and those who are hired. What is your take on this class difference situation as of now and then? Has there been any improvement since the publication of this reading? What factors do you think cause these differences? Do you have any personal experience with this issue?

3. In what ways do organizations such as Sakhi help the immigrant laborer? What should we focus on improving?
