Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Boass research on sound blindness showed that the listeners unfamiliarity with foreign sounds, not an inability to hear the distinctions, causes the challenges. His use of the cephalic index with recent immigrants and those who lived in the U.S. for several years showed that it was a measurement that changed and was not fixed.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
These forces include the post-Vietnam War era, changing immigration and economic policies, changing demands for labor, new information technologies, and growing border security concerns.
