Question # 1 :
Why did the “Orphan Trains” begin, who was responsible for the movement and how did people receive these children from “The Orphan Train”?
Question# 2:
How do you feel about the movement, would you have done something differently and what would that be? Keep in mind what ever you would have done in that era would effect the current “Foster Care System” today?
Explore the impact, and projected impact, of that event.
Offer a brief description of the difficulty, using at least three (3) scholarly citations to summarize what is generally known about the difficulty and its impact. Include any relevant sociocultural factors associated with the onset or maintenance of the difficulty. (1 – 2 pages)
Briefly describe, including age, an individual who has experienced this psychosocial difficulty, using an acquaintance (use pseudonyms instead of actual names) or fictional character. (less than a page)
Describe normative development (physical, cognitive, moral, emotional, social) during the period in which the psychosocial event occurred. Use course readings to support this. (1 – 2 pages)
Discuss how development was interrupted or altered by the experience of the psychosocial difficulty for the individual you described in #2. Also, consider how a subsequent stage of development may be affected by the experience of the psychosocial difficulty at the first stage (e.g., if you considered the impact of sexual abuse on a 10-year old, how might that same individual’s development be different at age 25 as a result of having been abused at age 10?) (2 – 3 pages)

Deportation video:
(Vargas reading should be attached)
“whenever there are economic labor necessities in the United States, the remedy becomes Mexican migration, which stimulates a movement of people to the U.S.; when the labor needs are satisfied, there oftentimes occurs an economic downturn which results in immigration restriction and deportation.”
Between 1910 and 1930, Mexicans were recruited, deported, recruited, and then deported. How do the sources reveal this process of change? In what ways did they experience recruitment? In what ways did they experience deportation? Why is it important to remember this cycle?

How does Oliver distinguish the parasocial relationships between actors (or even talkshow hosts) and YouTube influencers?
In what way is a YouTubers relationship with fans more “truthful” even when it’s scripted — or even when that YouTuber uses an alias (like Oliver Thorn)?
At one point in the video, Oliver’s detective character asks him about how many takes it took him to do his emotional “Cosmonaut” video on depression (which is a great video if you’d like to check it out — just know it deals with some intense themes!).
Should the fact that it took Oliver 8 takes to get this emotionally intense “confession” right change the way a viewer perceives it? Why or why not? Did Oliver “sacrifice the truth” so that he could make a more entertaining piece?
Would you have the same reaction to a “confession” on a reality TV show (like The Bachelor) if you knew it had been scripted and retaped? Why or why not?
What do you think of Oliver’s claim that, as a YouTuber, his relationship isn’t actually parasocial but social? Unlike other art forms, Oliver reads comments, letters, and emails — and then forms his content based on that communication — which he suggests creates a unique relationship with fans. Do you agree or disagree?
Do you have any YouTuber’s (or any other media personalities such as actors, writers, podcasters, etc.) that you identify with a parasocial (or social) way? What is it about them as people or their content that makes them “genuine” or “truthful”?
