1-2 Module One: Short Response
Question 1: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? The influx of unskilled Irish immigrants into New York City in the 1840s and early 1850s drove down wages for other workers at the low end of the salary ladder.
The economic lens is being applied here because the influx of unskilled Irish immigrants seeking work affected the economy. More jobs were needed, which lowered wages for others in the same job title.
Question 2: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? In 1908, Aram Pothier, an immigrant from Quebec, was elected governor of Rhode Island with strong support from the Québécois community.
The political lens is being applied here because Aram Pothier, an immigrant from Quebec, received his strongest support from the Québécois community, who became his main constituents in his election as governor of Rhode Island.
Question 3:
In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? Irish immigrants and first-generation
Irish Americans came to dominate the hierarchy of the American Catholic Church in the late nineteenth century.
The religious lens can be applied here, as the growing number of Irish immigrants and their children (first-generation Irish Americans) gave them a greater voice in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in the United States.
Question 4: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? Immigration to the United States comes to be seen as a “rite of passage” for young Québécois women in the early twentieth century.
A social lens can be applied here, as the passage specifically mentions "young Québécois women," which places them in their own social group. Immigrating to the United States as a "rite
of passage" shows how they grow socially, moving from what they know to somewhere where they must start over.
