Summary of “What Makes a Great City Great” by H. V. Savitch In “What Makes a Great City Great,” H. V. Savitch argues that city greatness could be assessed by reference to four distinctive sets of criteria.

His paper is designed as a response to the ambiguity created by previous scholarly articles on the matter and aims to provide a critical examination of ...

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 ...

Laurence is an associate professor of political science at Boston College. Kofi Annan, United Nations' Secretary General on International Flows of Humanity, states that we need a more-balanced, conservative approach ...

Immigration plays a big role in international relations, with US being one of the countries at the forefront of this issue. Many factors correlate with the subject of immigration to US such as economic reasons, political resolves, or population control efforts.

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 ...

Multiculturalism is distinguished as a commemoration of ethnocultural diversity, encouraging people to recognize and accept the panoply of traditions, customs, cuisine, and music that is present in a multiethnic community (Johannesen, Valde, and Whedbee, 2008).

In this regard it pertains to an ideal event of ...

America is a magnificent and influential country. However, has it always been that way? Of course not. When one of most influential politicians of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, died, the country began to literally fall apart, and the entire world thought that the whole experiment called “democracy” failed. Just the few people believed that it was the beginning of something bigger. America was about to meet its most outstanding personalities, who turned the country, and made it better. Certainly, everyone came across such names as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford. The Industrialization era is the time of the most ...

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.

President Obama and Governor Romney, as presidential candidates trying to win as much votes as possible, presented their cases as eloquently and as seemingly compassionate as they can, not failing to point out something discrediting about the other candidate about his policy-making abilities regarding immigration. But bottom line, both candidates agree that: 1) the present immigration policy should be improved, 2) illegal immigrants that are criminals should be deported, and 3) children of illegal immigrants should be given a chance, or a "pathway" to becoming citizens or legal visa/ green card holders.

During the short video (Burkey, 2012), the differences ...

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 ...

How the history of Vietnam and China were intertwined from 111 B.C. to 1500

The people who inhabited Vietnam were believed to have originated from Indonesia and settled in Vietnam’s Tonkin Delta. Archaeologists have traced the prehistoric migration by using stone tools that were used in Vietnam 10,000 years ago.

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.

There are several evidences that show that the US was fragmented between the years 1920 to 1970.The fragmentation relied mostly on culture, wars and race. The Americans were greatly separated when it came to very important values. The values might be of general sociological import. (Lessonde, S.171).Looking at the classical theory, it places on structural differences as modernity encroaches. When we look at the fragmentation of America at the historical point of view, it is diminishing. In 1960s, there was political assassination and mass demonstration and one could be forgiven to term America as falling apart. Even inn ...

Introduction

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).

Immigrants contributed for the 37% growth of the United States of America population after the civil war (Bell, Kwesiga, & Berry 179). Millions over the last two centuries have migrated to the United States. This contributed to the technological and economic advancement of the region. The 19th century was however the most remarkable time of expanded immigration. The California gold rush saw numerous ethnicities abandon their villages in various regions of the world and entered America. In addition, after the civil war, slave trade was abolished therefore employment opportunities were very high (Lecture 7). While others came due the ...

Humanity has to shift its approach of dealing with prejudices and discriminations as wrongs committed against the rights of minorities, but should cast the challenges as affecting the interests of all, for instance gay, straight or otherwise. The past century saw the rise of activist groups that sought to fight for the rights of particular groups in the societies, the gay, lesbians, the disabled, minority ethnic groups among others. Intellectuals now realize the approach may be detrimental in the end as it creates divisions instead of fostering equality. Those who consider themselves to belong to the mainstream are known ...

The article has two authors, James Barrett and David Roediger, thus giving the point of view of one of the authors is not only misleading but inaccurate. I would therefore give the point of view of both the authors, as reflected in the article.

In this article, the authors focus on the relationship between the Irish Americans and the “new immigrants.” They argue that the Irish Americans developed some sort of social capitalism through networking within the ethnic community. This was because of their extraordinary pre-migration experience in mass nationalist politics and church building. The Irish translated the ...

Psychology

An organization that seeks to empower a particular people should have characteristics that project its cause and intention of assisting a given underprivileged group. First and foremost, it should not seek to benefit financially from the people as that would render it a financial institution rather than a social organization. It should seek to unite the disenfranchised people towards their common goal. The group should also have a leadership drawn from the people it seeks to help rather than foreign individuals. It should have a clear mission statement and be very transparent in its activities.

The Federation for American Immigration reform (FAIR) is such an ...
