Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Note that in the early twentieth century, Hispanic Americans faced similar discrimination to African Americans because they were forced to use segregated restrooms and attend segregated schools, they were killed in lynchings, they were not allowed to serve on juries until the Supreme Court ruled that they could, and Hispanic veterans returning from World War II faced discrimination after the war.
2, Discuss how Hispanic leaders used tactics previously used by blacks such as sit-ins, boycotts, and marches to draw attention to their cause, and how the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) was modeled on the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund.
3, Identify some of the problems common to the two groups, such as discrimination in employment hiring and promotion and poverty. Identify some that are different, such as immigration and language barriers.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
