This exhibit can be related to all of the essays that we have read, but especially relates to the Parrenas essay. In the article that I found on mail order brides, it talks about the fact that a majority of the brides are from the Philippines and that they are looking for a better life in the United States. In 1990, nearly 3500 Filipino brides were shipped off to the United States.
2) Trafficking of persons
Anther exhibit that I found involved the trafficking of persons (immigrants). Major forms of this trafficking involve forced labor and child labor, forced prostitution, child soldiers etc. The exhibit goes over these forms in more depth, and illustrates how female and child minorities/immigrants are exploited.
3) Benefits of a stay-at-home parent vs. a Nanny
This exhibit relates to all four of the essays. This exhibit explains how children are like sponges in their early development, and that they learn nearly everything by observing how the people around them do things. In the Parrenas essay, it talks about how Filipino women leave their children with someone else while they go to the US to earn money. Also in the Maid to Order essay it talks about the absence of parents. This exhibit explains how different a child can turn out if it's learning from it's parents is limited.
