The United States has a secret competitive advantage over most other nation. The advantage, however, is not one that normally comes to mind in the public or is a focus of attention of the media or politicians. The advantage is that the U.S. attracts the largest number of immigrants in the world, and it has been doing so since its founding. Indeed, since the late 1700s, over 55 million people have immigrated to the U.S. and made it their home (ACLU). To be sure, except for the Native Americans, every other U.S. citizen is either an immigrant or a ...

Campbell (2005) seems to focus largely on immigrant populations and how their cultural norms for child-rearing translate (or fail to do so) in middle America. It offers guidance for professionals to ensure an understanding, if not of the cultural differences themselves, that differences exist. According to Campbell, in order to be able to identify abuse and neglect and offer support to families in acclimating to child-rearing in their new homes, providers must be prepared to learn about the previous cultural norms of those families and help translate those to their new homes. This is a form of strength-based support: ...

Summary of The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was approved by Congress in May 2008 (Feldman, 2012). This act aims to protect individuals from being discriminated against by employers and insurance companies based on genetic information. According to GINA, genetic information “includes family medical history” (Feldman, 2012 pp. 744). Unlike other antidiscrimination legislation which only addressed past discrimination, GINA prevents future genetic discrimination from occurring (Feldman, 2012). The legislation was enacted to encourage citizens to participate in research on genetics; however, the widespread fear of potential genetic information disclosure and discrimination discouraged many people from participating.

Therefore, it is apparent that, there is inequality in our schools which leads ...

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 ...

- Rawls wrote this essay in 1986 and concludes by asserting that the promises of California remain undiminished. Write an essay in which you argue whether his description of the California good life is still valid, supporting your position with current evidence. To develop your ideas, you might read or reread Victor Davis Hanson’s Paradise Lost.

A lot of things happened during the period between the 18th and the 21st century. To be more specific, most of the highlights of the nation, the United States’, accomplishments today can be traced back to the golden years of the 20th century. James Rawls was the author of the work California: A Place, a People, a Dream, a book about the quintessential and other positive, and some negative qualities of the Californian state. Rawls argued that California is one of the best, if not the best places, one could be, at least based on the people’s perception about California and ...

  refers to the inclination of a society towards collective life rather than individual life. The term encircles the social networks, associations and ties among the civilians of any country.

It includes development of trust and a reciprocal culture among the society. As measures of social capital, Putnam (1995) focuses on membership in associations. His thesis demonstrates the declining trend of membership in US. Subsequent research on the topic reveals that the 9/11 incident actually contributed to ...

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.

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 ...

Migrating from the home country to another country is often a stressful process for many individuals, but if seen with a positive attitude, immigration plays a major role to invest the skills and talents of an individual in the right place.

Abstract

The onset of immigration had long been a part of American history since its discovery in the 1600s and had shaped the country’s society and government throughout the years. In the early years, America had gladly opened its doors to the world without restrictions and some aided in the liberation of the country from English rule and into independence. However, as the years progressed, restrictions were imposed by the government due to the fear of these immigrants and eventually, due to the onset of illegal immigration. Reforms left and right were implemented to sustain America’s security, economy and ...

1. Explain the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1870.

The act of naturalization of 1790 was the initial effort by the congress to develop an immigration policy. The act constrained naturalization to white individuals who were free and of decent character and had initially stayed in America for a period of two years. The 1870 act on the other had been an initiative by the congress to widen the laws of naturalization in the country so that it could permit the naturalization of African-Americans.

He argues that the same absence of diversity in the faculty that was a feature of his days is replicated in the present day. Diaz cites examples of the racism and racial profiling evident in the present day ...

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 ...

Illegal Immigration: The Border Has Been Crossed

Illegal immigration is not only a growing trend in the United States of America but it is also a frequently discussed and debated topic through news sources, social media and through political campaigns.

There are always different beliefs when it comes to any easily debated topic, and this is no different.

Part A discussion

The concept of acculturation describes the process of psychological and cultural change, which results as different cultures come together. Acculturation effects can be observed at multiple levels in the cultures that are interacting. Therefore, this may lead to a phenomenon called acculturative stress.

In his book the jungle, Sinclair’s s main concern was not to the meat but to the workers who produced. It was then that he said that. ‘I aimed at the public’s heart and by accident hit its stomach’. He attempted to make the public aware that the life of an immigrant was very hard in the 1800s. In real sense, he did not actually assist people to know the harsh condition s but the bad meat that they were eating. This is what hit their metaphorical stomachs (Sinclair, 2006 p. 18).

The group catches the attention of the administration when they show up at school all wearing their uniforms and distributes the first edition of their weekly "newsletter".
