The question that I chose was: What if I never moved from the Dominican Republic?
~Critical Theory;
1- Identify a problem with a social reality.
2- Identify who should change it.
If I were to take a critical approach I might answer my question this way: I do not think my parents would have made the decision to come to the US if the DR had better economy and more opportunities. Some of the problems are; ingresos insuficientes, inestabilidad laboral, inflacion y aumento de los precios.
Who should change it? The government, el Ministerio de economía. One of the reasons why many Dominicans began to come to the United States and other countries was when Trujillo was in power around 1960, and after Trujillo died the government improved. I don't know how it is at the moment, I believe it's fine but not enough for families to have an income that covers the basic needs of a working class family. Por eso siguen buscando una mejor vida en otro lugar.
Sounds like you may often imagine another possible life path in the DR. I hope your "research" leads you to believe you are on the right path. 🙂
