Discuss the role of third generations.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary but may discuss that members of the third generation, or the grandchildren of the immigrants, were typically born and raised in non-ethnic settings. English was their first (and often their only) language, and their values and perceptions were thoroughly American. Although family and kinship ties with grandparents and the old neighborhood often remained strong, ethnicity for this generation was a relatively minor part of their daily realities and self-images. Visits on weekends and holidays, and family rituals revolving around the cycles of birth, marriage, and death--these activities might have connected the third generation to the world of their ancestors, but in terms of their everyday lives, they were American, not ethnic.
