-APA style. -The documentary Witness to Injustice shows the case of the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, giving the viewer a perspective on what migration can mean for individual people, families and communities, physically and psychologically. -The attached article from Zick, Pettigrew, and Wagner describe intergroup relations in the context of immigration to European countries. Use this and “Witness to injustice” video as only sources. Discuss in one essay-style post: 1. when comparing immigration to the US and immigration to Europe, what are differences in the obstacles and opportunities for immigrants? What are commonalities, i.e. obstacles and opportunities for immigrants that are similar in both Europe and the US? Are these universal (and why?), or are there aspects that might be different in yet another host culture? Use at least one psychological mechanism to explain the cross-cultural interactions between immigrants and host societies. 2. Imagine you as an expert on cultural psychology are tasked with consulting a government on how to achieve successful long term societal integration of the specific cultural group of Rohingya refugees. What kinds of social services, infra-structure and educational measures would you suggest for successful integration looking at both newcomers’ and the long term residents’ needs on the basis of your understanding of culture and psychology? Be sure to include a discussion of all points above
