Andrew, a sociologist, claims that acculturation among Latin American families poses many benefits. However, his colleague, Matt, argues that acculturation also brings its share of negative consequences. Examine the following choices and select the correct response.
A) Andrew is right because during the acculturation process, first and later generations often acquire the necessary English language skills, competitive values, and education that increase the likelihood of moving up the economic ladder.
B) Andrew is right because acculturation, particularly in low-income neighborhoods, may result in lowering the rates of delinquency and crime among Latino adolescents.
C) Matt is wrong because there has been a reduction in the divorce rates among married couples in Latin American families who have acculturated to U.S. society.
D) Matt is wrong because middle-class Latinos who have acculturated to U.S. society tend to be less permissive in raising their children, thereby instilling a sense of discipline among their youth.
