Introduction

Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mocking Bird is a unique story, which provides insight into the issue of inequality that existed between the black and white races during the 1930s. The Book is based on the author’s observation of the society during that era and reflected the biased and hypocritical views and actions of the members of the society. Although the book is relatively old and the inequality between the white and black races has been significantly eliminated from society, some resemblance can still be found in the modern day the United States of America and ...

Migration is therefore one of the factors that have been linked to women vulnerability. Through migration, women become more dependent on their racial communities, families, employers, and husbands. Violence against women has been identified to be a special risk for ...

Literature as a Way to Express Immigration and Ethnicity

When exploring the varying attributes of immigration and its connection to ethnicity and national identity, one of the best ways to examine these issues is through literature. While literature does not provide the objectivity of facts and figures, narrative fiction in literature provides endless avenues for subjective, thematic discussion about the broader emotional and human issues surrounding topics like immigration. A number of fantastic works tackling themes of immigration help to reach the core of the issues that immigrants must face in their new country, particularly as they relate to generation gaps and cultural acclimation.
Social sciences and ...

Immigration is a contentious topic in the United States today. Even now, the Presidential Debates are full of discussion of immigration and the suggestion of immigration reform; in the last months of his presidency, President Obama seems intent on discussing and passing new immigration reform legislation as well. Immigration is a difficult topic in the United States because the country has literally been built on the backs of immigrants; however, there is also a long history of xenophobic thought and nationalistic sentiment in the United States as a whole.
The history of immigration is even more contentious in places ...

Abstract

In the pre-colonial era and shortly after the colonial period, border crossing by communities was a common phenomenon and occurrence. The realization of indigenous communities of the presence of an immigrant community amongst them did not come as a shocker to the natives. These immigrant communities moved from one place to another for different reasons. There were those who crossed these borders in search of better lifestyles. There were those who had also been displaced by war activities and, therefore, had to cross these boundaries in search of peaceful settlements. Still, there were those who moved from one boundary to the ...

Assimilation

Assimilation is a term which is so much associated with immigration. Its significance is not only felt in today’s immigrant communities but also throughout the history of the US. Previously, the term was used to mean a biological process carried out by the body used in the conversion of food into a substance which can be absorbed in digestion. However, the use of the term in today’s world as a physiological process has been eclipsed as a result of its greater social significance. Its broad use is evident by the many definitions it carries. Some sources define ...

Introduction

Registered nurses are faced with the responsibilities of not only treating and managing health conditions in patients, but also promoting health in an effort to prevent the development of diseases. Nurses can achieve this role by advocating for certain changes that improve the lives of their patients, or through educating the target population on how to manage or improve their health statuses. Health promotion aims at either behavioral changes or empowerment of the target population (Chinn, 2011). This paper will, therefore, discuss how the community nurse, using an empowerment approach, could promote health literacy. The chosen scenario for this ...

Immigrant Experience and Teenage Love in Diaz’s “How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl or Halfie)"

Throughout its history, one of the characteristics of the United States of America has been the immigrant experience that has developed on its soil.

This short story is one of his ...

Tradition and culture is an important theme in immigrant literature, especially between generations. There is a certain anxiety that develops in the relationship between parents and children of immigrant cultures; the younger generation is eager to shuck the exotic, alienating traditions of their parent’s host nation in order to fit in, while the older generation fears the ending of the traditions that helped define who they are and their culture. Meanwhile, these children of immigrants maintain a certain longing for their culture’s traditions, creating a metaphysical tug-of-war that occurs within these divided family dynamics. These tensions and anxieties are reflected ...

This paper will further argue that the economic impact caused by this ...

The approach taken in the construction of the argument in this essay is based on the proposition that companies and firms which employ illegal immigrants face more risks than the advantages that are poised by the adoption of this action. There is a thorough exposition into the legal demerits that lurk and have the highest chance of affecting the firms thus causing dire consequences in the overall functioning of the companies concerned. While this consequence will affect the functioning and output of the company, the image of the firms also is placed at stake. The paper observes the consequences that a ...

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

I. INTRODUCTION
In the course of acting as administrator of a victim advocacy agency, there are many instances in which the administrator must interact with individuals of other cultures and other backgrounds. Intimate partner violence occurs across all cultures, regardless of race, age, gender, or cultural status; however, certain societies have normalized intimate partner violence much moreso than American society has. Understanding the normalization of partner violence and the ways that this normalization can hinder women when they seek help for their problems is fundamentally important, particularly when these women are expected to act within the framework of a society ...

The article, “15 years on the Bottom Rung” by Anthony DePalma highlights the tough situation faced by modern immigrants from Mexico by contrasting a typical story of one with that of a Greek immigrant who came to the United States illegally in the late 1940s. The article points out that although both the Greek immigrant and the Mexican immigrant came from roughly the same circumstances, the Greek was able to work his way up the economic ladder well into the middle class, while the Mexican immigrant worked for fifteen years and remains in the lower economic class working entry-level jobs.

Introduction

Canada is known as a diverse multicultural society with its main reliance on immigration to prop up the population and has become ethnically diverse through the growth of the visible minority population. Every year Canada welcomes 225,000 immigrants. Recent demographic census of Canada suggests that over the next decade visible minorities will represent almost a quarter of the population of Canada and half of the population of Toronto and Vancouver. Andrew Cardozo and Ravi Pandaker argue that issues related to ethnicity should be treated in the policy foreground (Cardozo and Pandaker, 7). This study will argue that not enough attention ...

“Living in Limbo: Mandatory Detention of Immigrants Under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act of 1996” by Amy Langenfeld

In this article, Langenfeld (1999) discusses the history of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act of 1996, and the social implications of the 1996 reforms. According to Langenfeld (1996) the 1996 reforms were the meticulously revised earlier forms. However, the implementation of the 1996 reforms was criticized due to some of the policies apparently violating international human rights. To be specific, the 1996 reforms included a mandatory detention of suspected illegal immigrants for a time interval ranging from several days to several years in detention facilities and prisons. Moreover, Langenfeld (1999) describes the quality of living of immigrants, ...

The other two stakeholders, the immigrant employees, and the global consulting companies affected the actions by Disney by providing alternatives facilitating the replacement of the two Americans already working in the company.

Intersectionality of sexuality and poor immigrant women

Intersectionality of sexuality and poor immigrant women
Basically, intersectionality refers to the study of intersections between systems or forms of domination, discrimination or oppression. While race, class and power intersection constitute the major structural elements of many Latina and black women experience in shelters of battering, it is worth noting that sexuality intersection exist in other sites. For the poor immigrant women, their condition of being immigrants can put them in a vulnerable status that are coercive, though not reducible to the economic class easily (Lockhart & Danis, 2010). For instance, according to the immigration Act of 1986, someone who ...

The move to grant driver’s licenses to the illegal immigrants was to ensure the safety of the state road and enable security officials to track residents who lived in the shadows. Although the move was regarded as a political strategy, the immigrants advocated the proposal. The congress signed a bill that allowed illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. However, the plan received great criticism from democrats and republicans, as well as lawmakers who argued that it would provide an opening for terrorists. This also made Hillary Clinton, a presidential hopeful to disavow the proposal after waffling on the issue at ...

It is the general perception among the American society that earlier immigrates were successful compared to the immigrants of the current generation. Although this claim could be partially true based on one’s arguments as extracted from their experiences, the statement is basically a myth. This is because recent Pew Research center’s Statistics suggests that the inverse is true. The history course of the immigrants to the US radically shifted and took another direction after 1965 (Duggan et al., 2013). 1965 is the year during which the abolishment of the origins quota system law was put in place. As a ...

Since the onset of the twenty-first century, the immigrant population in the United States has risen by 10.2 million to reach an estimated total of 41.3 million immigrants within American borders (Mass).

In its depiction of the implicit horrors of the Mexican immigrant experience, these individuals are shown as brave victims of a system that punishes women for being immigrants, thus ...

Question 1

Migrants have faced a significant problem settling or rather adapting to their host countries. Nonetheless, there are different ways they can use to adjust to the host society, for instance, ethnic pluralism, assimilation, and transnationalism. Assimilation is whereby two distinct groups of people from different cultures merge to share a common culture. When migrants move to new countries, they have to assimilate with the natives by learning their culture and social life. On the other hand, there is pluralism whereby a group of people come together and decides to maintain their identity and culture. For the case of the ...

Immigration

3. The United States of America is a country that was built and developed by immigrants from

achievable and possible if a person worked hard. The American dream was followed by millions
of immigrants from Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. However, nowadays, the United

States is way much stricter in terms of immigration. Many politicians think that immigration has

more bad points of view for the American society instead of good points of view. In my opinion,
I think that immigration definitely has more positive consequences rather than negative
consequences for both immigrants and the American society. Immigrants tend to receive lower
wages compared to Americans because of the absence of official documents, ...

Cheers to technology and the internet, the world has over the years turned to be a small village where physical and geographical barriers that hindered people’s movement from continent to continent no longer exist. As a result, people’s movements are no longer mired geographically, but rather by man-made policies. Such policies are termed as immigration policies. They denote a country’s set of rules and regulations that are formulated with the objective of guiding people entering and leaving the country. Worth mentioning early on is the fact that each and every country formulates its own set of immigration policies, and ...

Question 1

The strike at the Lawrence textile which occurred in 1912 involved immigrant employees in Lawrence. The strike occurred after the mill owners threatened to cut wages of its workers after a reduction of working hours which shortened the work. Therefore, I think Volse is the account of the1912 Lawrence Strike that I find most credible and compelling. This is so because account gives detailed information on the 1912 Lawrence strike by explaining all the participants of the strike, including the owner of the mill. This account gives full information about the cause of the strike, what happened during and after ...

Question/Problem Definition

Equal pay is one of the most pertinent issues in labor laws and regulation. Most governments across the globe have institutionalized legislation that aim to safeguard their citizens and ensure that they are well compensated for their talents regardless of their origin, race, gender and other distinguishing characteristics. However, this is not usually the case. In spite of having such laws, the labor market especially the private sector is far from realizing and implementing equal pay. The state is even worse in developing countries where most women employees do not earn even half as much as their male counterparts ...

Personal Reflection:

Abstract
Cultural bias is a condition that can have great effect upon the education of a student. In Canada it has been seen that while immigrants are quite welcome and even encouraged to settle within the provinces, they are still seen as second-class in several ways. Two of those ways involve their place in education and their cultural identities. While Canada is renowned for its acceptance of many various races and peoples, it is not as well known for its quiet assimilation of its immigrants into the Canadian culture. Immigrants are not paid as much, do not always receive ...

Abstract

Immigration has been a thorny subject for the past centuries. The issue has been widely debated and talked about since the influx of the movement of people from their original home countries to new countries for various reasons. Immigration can be defined as the movement of people from their native countries to countries where they do not hold citizenship with the main aim of settling there permanently or to take up employment.

Immigration policy in the U.S has evolved over the years, yet it has failed to address pertinent issues with regard to immigration, especially illegal immigration, which has continued to rise; a new policy approach would be necessary if the problems bedeviling immigration are to be addressed.
America’s immigration policy has over the decades been a major public policy issue, especially during the peaks of election cycles. The immigration policy has by no means been harmonized in the country’s history. As a testament to this, the purview of immigration policy has more often than not been left to ...

Amy Tan in her essay, ‘Mother Tongue’ and Richard Rodriguez in his ‘Public and Private Language’ talk about how language affects their relationship with their parents.

Poems are often a reflection of the society they are written in. Many times, poets adopt the general rhetoric of the public, placing it in a poem that people can read and enjoy while at the same time allowing them to reflect on how said rhetoric affects them. Many of these topics spur from immigration, specifically the fear of immigration. An overwhelming fear of losing jobs to a surge of immigrants has long since plagued American citizens, as well as citizens of South Africa and other similar countries. In some of these countries, such as South Africa, immigrants have ...

Education is without a doubt one of the most important tools available for personal advancement. Therefore, every child should be availed this important tool because they will need it in the future. Nevertheless, the aim should not just be taking children to school only; there is a need to ensure that children receive quality education that would better the child’s knowledge and expose him or her to what the world out there expects.
In this sense, bilingual education is important for children who are non-native speakers because they are given a chance to grasp content that would be impossible to ...

Introduction

Leadership is defined by Chester Bernard as "the ability of a superior to influence the behavior of subordinates and persuade them to follow a particular course of action" (ETSU, 2013). For the success of any organization or a mission, it is important to have a great leader at the helm. A true leader is he who can elicit positive actions, behaviors and emotions in people without the promise of a reward or a threat of punishment (Givray, 2012). A true leader is he who with his passion, perseverance and dedication can guide his followers and subordinates into the right direction of success. There are different ...

The United States has long been recognized as a country built largely from immigration. Although this has created a fairly diverse country, it also has fueled ethnic and other tensions between older immigrants and newer arrivals or potential immigrants. Although the home countries of many immigrants arriving to the United States have changed over the centuries, many immigrants today have opted to immigrate for similar reasons as those who came to the United States over a century ago. Also fairly enduring are some of the arguments for restricting immigration and opposing tighter restrictions to immigration.
Early 20th century advocates for tighter ...

Imagine being in a wilderness, in an alien place, life all around you, life going on unhindered. Despite the abundance around you, you still can’t find something to feed on, cheer you or relate to. It is like the unlikely situation where all over sudden, your friends quit speaking in a language you understand. You can no longer understand what they say, nor can they you. The world can become a very lonely place in such circumstances; when you fail to fit, not of your own doing, but a cruel mix of fate and circumstances.
This is the predicament that most ...

Introduction

Many would not know it but immigrants actually do help bring the fuel to the Unites States economy, on behalf of about one in every seven workers. For the reason that of faster immigration and the decreasing of the U.S. population development, workers that are foreign-born actually accounted for just about half of labor-force growth that had occurred over the past years (Jason Furman, 2010). The great big part of the public attention was placed for on the huge amount of immigrant workers that have low skills, however the numbers of immigrants that have high skills really do move ...
