The call: The author says “For one, ‘It should be my decision about whether I pick up the phone. People can call me, but I don’t have to talk to them.'” (Turkle 239)
The author says “Unauthorized immigrants are neither from Mars nor Venus.” (Suarez-Orozco and Suarez-Orozco 670)
The response: This call could be an issue because some people could be calling for an emergency or anything. This isn’t good. People should pick up the phone even though they don’t want to talk to them. You never know what is going on or what is happening. The university relates to it because if someone is getting followed and they call a friend nearby to help them or something but the friend doesn’t pick up the phone because they don’t want to or they think it is something else, the friend may now be in trouble. People just think that just because others call that they don’t want anything or they are wasting their time by calling which is the case sometimes but maybe one day that is not the case and someone may be in trouble or anything. People should just pick up the phone no matter what they think it may be. A call from a friend or strange number could mean someone/something could be in trouble or it could be just a ‘hi, how are you?’
This other call is just stating a fact. This relates to students at universities, public or private schools, community colleges, and trade schools. Unauthorized immigrants are people just like everyone else in the United States. Everyone should be treated equal. When they come to the United States, it is most likely because of the things going on in their county and they want to get away from it. Like the students at my university most likely came to the United States and to my University to further their education and for a better life. They are somewhat like aliens to the United States but they shouldn’t be treated that way because they are still people and now people that lives in the same country as you. People should always treat others how they would want to be treated no matter what. People should consider people’s feelings as well. If someone was mean to them and they were an immigrant then they would want people to welcome them and consider their feelings, so everyone should treat others how they would want to be treated.
The question: Why people don’t pick up the phone for others but expect them to pick up the phone for them?
Why didn’t the children go with their parents when they got deported?
