Title: “Assimilation and Ethnic Persistence: A Critical Analysis of Gordon’s Theory”

See these major concerns:
Does not accurately represent Gordon’s theory of assimilation.
More precise information needed on “capitals” which set a path for assimilation.
There is almost nothing on “stages of assimilation”. This is the centerpiece of the project.
More to say about ethnic persistence.
You misunderstand “new ethnicity”.
Need evidence to establish this family’s “typicality”.
More substance needed here as well, eg. the extent of discrimination in housing.
Further, your statements can be vague and even confusing. See this comment: “In evaluation, the children, specifically Leila and Mehdi, pick out greater strongly as American, with their Iranian roots gambling a secondary position of their self-notion.”
