Downward mobility happens when someone
experiences an important decline in wealth, income, or occupational respect,
from their preceding position. When the Garcia household moved to the United
States, they went through a descending economic mobility for numerous reasons.
One of these details is education. Education not only benefits an individual to
obtain knowledge but is also a passport for work-related position for a higher
status. It is only after obtaining minimum formal training that individual can seek
to occupy higher positions, for instance in the case of the Mirabal sisters;
they developed high levels of training, and this greatly helped them in
fighting the Trujillo government[1].
Different republics around the domain have different forms of training and
therefore some nations are more educated than others.
In the case of the Garcia household, Sandra
went to America to pursue better work and pay.
The sort of job she could have been given in the DR is very dissimilar
from the one in America since America has more educated individuals and instead
she had to settle for a low paying occupation with long work hours. This
consequence would inevitably happen the rest of her family who she and her
spouse Bautista brought over to Brooklyn.
The other main reason why the family
may have skilled a downward economic shift is due to racial separation. Racial
segregation often leads to income separation.
It is evident that in most parts of the USA where most settlers, Blacks,
and Latinos are situated, there is a lot of poverty and discrimination and is
typically separated from the individuals of the higher class[2].
The Ortiz family experienced a rising
economic mobility move for reasons such as the higher worth of the American
currency. For instance, right now, one US Dollar is equal to 45 Dominican Peso.
The higher worth of the US dollar makes services and products from the
Dominican Republic inexpensive. This means that the economic movement of the
Ortiz’s is elevated. Unlike in the USA where settlers are segregated and
treated harshly, Bautista and Sandra can make a good and honest living in the
home nation and most particularly now since they are coming from America and
thus standard as elites.
