This is a letter to editor in San Jose Mercury:

Cultural shift could be good for kids
Concerning Eddie Garcia’s column: I know it won’t be easy for our society to cope with the children of immigrants, as they grow up in households where hard work and sacrifice are the norm and paychecks are often sent to needy relatives. It’s this kind of stuff that could cause an unexpected cultural shift that would undermine traditional American values, which guide your children through their formative years of text-messaging, shopping and developing critical brand loyalties.
After all, kids in the United States know where their self-worth comes from, and it’s not from some cheap cell phone. Nope. It’s from the more expensive iPhone, the one that costs $700!
