velvet painting

It was fascinating to read about the velvet painting. It was really interesting to know how the assembly line was created to complete these painting. Painting is suppose to be a talent ,but the way the people in Juarez made use of this art is amazing. Assembly line in car manufacturing was created by Ford Motors( I guess), but this assembly line is really interesting
According to the book, this Velvet painting business had provided living to not just one person , one family ,but to to whole region and also to many people who stated their own retail business. It is impossible for the Americans to understand the other ethnic traditions and culture. There are some people who are prejudice, but some people do understand and respect other cultures. Most American kids take their privileges and opportunities for granted.
These opportunities only force immigrants to cross boarder illegally. I was very depressed when I came to the part where that young women of 29 years died.
I was kind of relieved when Diaz survived and Delfino made it to U.S. I know any illegal act is illegal ,but when Delfino made it to U.S I was really happy.
It is terrible to see the ethnic discrimination,but this problem can be addressed by inviting eminent speaker from other ethnic groups as a guest speaker, or by showing movies etc. I would address this matter by talking about the traditions of other cultures whenever they have any celebrations or any traditonal feast or festivals.
I did not know any thing about velvet painting . when I read this book and also the assignment for this chapters, i was curious to know more about this . I googled to get the info and I found there is a whole museum of velvet painting in Portland , Oregon.
