Abstract

Illegal immigration is a very sensitive concern to the America Public and it divides the nation between those who are compassionate towards its practice and others who are antagonistic; believing that this is causing harm to their country and well being as citizens.

However, illegal immigration appears to be functional since these people work illegally, pay taxes; participate in the economy; do not receive any benefits from social services, but remain here .The argument is that they are robbing Continue reading...

In Brumberg’s chapter “Tales Out of School,” he details how young Jewish immigrants learned and were integrated into the American school system. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the passage about the growing Americanization of the students of these schools, regardless of heritage:

“Bleeding form and content, ritual and subject matter, the schools provided its immigrant students with a new “American” persona. The school clerk often changed the names of recent arrivals. Among these interviewed, we find Moses changed to Morris, and Nachum to Nathan. Last names became altered as well.”

Common sense was an influential pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. He was very careful in the way he wrote his works. This was necessitated by the fact that he always wanted his readers to understand the occurrences of the time better by informing them clearly. At one time, he claimed “I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.”

America has experienced a series of violence throughout her history. There are two types of propagators of violence in America. The propagators include the government which suppresses and oppresses the citizens that it should take care of. Whenever activists came into the open to oppose the oppression, the government executed them. Another group that propagated violence are the activists who could organize for massacre in order for the government to act.

History Questions

1. Do you think that America’s fear of a communist takeover in the 1960s was valid?

The fear of communism appeared to take on an almost personified form in the 1960s. America and, indeed, the rest of the west, were terrified of a communist takeover, in much the same way that the fear of the H1N1 virus spread across the world a couple of years ago. It was as if the Americans believed that they could ‘catch’ communism like they could a cold. Their fears Continue reading...

The American Dream is an interesting enigma, a phenomenon that helps to explain American exceptionalism and yet showcases the failings of America as a country.

Mark Twain wrote about America as a great frontier, a place where anything can happen, yet his works are extremely satirical – humorous and light, yet filled with social commentary. Bret Harte, on the other hand, has a much more pessimistic view of the American Dream as a place where people can reach for the starts only to fall to their deaths. In “The Luck of Roaring Camp,” his views are summed up fairly well Continue reading...

Music and Sound Recording: popular music and protest songs.

1. My personal preference is to experience all things for myself, before passing judgement. The reason for this is that reviewers and critics are only people too and as such, their opinion is as subjective as my own. For the most part, critics are working on a mainstream basis: their opinion is one which they feel would best fit with most people’s expectations of a certain type of movie or album etc. For example, when Incubus released Morning View, many of their fans were Continue reading...
