Choose one prompt from the following:Prompt 1:Levitt (2004)…

Choose one prompt from the following:Prompt 1:Levitt (2004) suggests that many migrants can successfully maintain ‘dual loyalties’, even though other scholars “believe countries need newcomers to subscribe to a core set of shared values to continue to survive and thrive”. In your opinion, should immigrants maintain their home cultures while integrating into the host country? Why/Why not? Take a clear position and provide two strong reasons to support your position. Then develop your ideas with relevant details and examples, including your own experience and thoughts. In addition, you must make at least one reference to the Levitt reading in the essay (and it must be different from the reference made in this prompt at the beginning). You may also cite the Iyer video and/or the other videos and materials from Module 4, if relevant. You may either quote directly or paraphrase when citing an external source. Your essay should be at least 500 words long.Prompt 2:Levitt (2004) argues that social remittances have positive and negative impacts. One example he provides is “While some see migrants as a force for greater democratization and accountability in the Dominican Republic, others hold them responsible for rising materialism and individualism.” In your opinion, in your country of origin, do the positive impacts outweigh the negative impacts of social remittances? Why/Why not? Take a clear position and provide two strong reasons to support your position. Then develop your ideas with relevant details and examples, including your own experience and thoughts. In addition, you must make at least one reference to the Levitt reading in the essay (and it must be different from the reference made in this prompt at the beginning). You may also cite the Iyer video and/or the other videos and materials from Module 4, if relevant. You may either quote directly or paraphrase when citing an external source. Your essay should be at least 500 words long.Prompt 3:Levitt (2004) concludes by providing two possible sides of the argument about transnational migrants and their participation in the new country and the source country. He states that “In India or other source countries, they may argue that emigrants have no right to a political voice because they have abandoned ship and lost touch with the day-to-day realities in their former homelands.” In your opinion, do immigrants give up their political voice in their country of origin because they have chosen to leave it?. Why or why not? Take a clear position and provide two strong reasons to support your position. Then develop your ideas with relevant details and examples, including your own experience and thoughts. In addition, you must make at least one reference to the Levitt reading in the essay (and it must be different from the reference made in this prompt at the beginning). You may also cite the Iyer video and/or the other videos and materials from Module 4, if relevant. You may either quote directly or paraphrase when citing an external source. Your essay should be at least 500 words long.
