Essays on Migrant

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony. However, discord persists over the impact of various legislation and practices in the integration of immigrants as well as identifiable religious minorities. Multiculturalism, for instance, finds opposition on the premises that it promotes balkanization and isolation of ethnic groups. Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

Network Theory

The network theory of migration posits that networks are formed between migrants in the origin country as well as the destination countries through friendship, community or familial connections. The interpersonal ties that the migrants develop help in reducing the costs needed to migrate as well as risks a potential migrant would face in the new country. As migrant networks increase over time, it not only reduces the costs and risks involved, but also increases the chances of employment for the new migrants. Networking and its increase over years not only helps facilitate increased migration over years but also broadens ...

ABSTRACT

One of the interesting unique aspects of the American legal system is that it really is two systems, namely one at the federal level and one at the state level. Generally, the two systems have little interaction. That is to say, the federal legal system focuses on issues involving the federal government, foreign affairs, and relations between the states. Conversely, the state legal system focuses on matters state specific matters such as education and healthcare. Two areas, however, where the state and federal legal system often interact and occasional collide is immigration and crime. The 2012 Supreme Court case, ...

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 ...

Flood is a natural disaster caused by unusually heavy rainfall lashing an area at a rapid pace and filling the area even as the excess water is unable either to infiltrate beneath the ground or drain safely. Chennai, the South Indian city, recently witnessed unprecedented rainfall in a century. Nature’s fury coupled with a development culture that pays no heed to environmental sustainability is widely blamed for the natural disaster. In light of individuals asking the legitimate questions on the indiscriminate use of precious natural resources and the scant apprehension for the environment, the floods continue to remind ...

Both China and the USA are some of the biggest contributors to the global market. Both economies produce large quantities of good that are shipped globally. Since bulk production requires a lot of labor, and the prevailing poverty rates among the citizens, children start to work in the dangerous environments of the labor market. The safety and workers right as well as the employment standards are irrelevant when it comes to the means of eking a living. Consequently, children have joined the labor market to eke a living, denying themselves an opportunity to pursue education and develop a higher ...

According to Christopher Blake, the former secretary of labour in New Zealand, the country has been gradually but continuously changing (Cited in: Masgoret, 2009). This is evidenced by the fact that one in every four New Zealanders has been born in a foreign nation. He notes that New Zealand has been built through immigration and that migrants, whether permanent or temporal, will have a major role in the economic progress of New Zealand. The government has a role to attract and retain migrants with skills and talents that will be critical in developing the country. Understanding the difference between ...

Introduction – Immigration Crisis and Socio-Economic Development in Netherlands

Being part of the European Union, it was natural for The Netherlands to be impacted by the immigration crisis which had hit almost entire Europe. On one hand the administration of the country had to develop and implement strategies aimed at addressing the immigration crisis . Initially, the country had resorted to sealing the borders to prevent the influx of refugees . However, with international attention on the crisis - especially highlighted by the capsizing of boats carrying refugees in the Mediterranean Sea the nation had to resort to finally accepting immigrants into the nation.

The film shows the plight of ordinary American people in the events of America’s Great Depression. They become migrant workers when they end up in a ranch in California. They are in search of work and opportunities for their family, but the best of opportunities are not given to them by the people they work for and live under. Food prices are ridiculously high on purpose such that they cannot afford good food; bottom line the ranch owners they work for oppress them.

The entire world has changed and there are no more slaves or servants, each person has a right to life, freedom, liberty, education, food and others. The notion of equal human rights makes one believe that the world is homogeneous at least in this sense, because freedom of choice must be never violated. But social stratification of society still exists and there are people, who live in affluence and can afford people caring their children and cleaning their houses. And on the other side there are those, who can do this job in order to get at least some ...

In a globalized world, it seems as though culture shock is inevitable. Essentially, people “encounter culture shock whenever they uproot themselves from a familiar setting and move to an unfamiliar one,” (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2011, p. 93). With millions of people traveling as tourists, finding work in other countries, and students studying outside of their homeland, culture shock is an experience that will ultimately affect so many. For some scholars, what it really boils down to is how a person handles their culture shock, and how their reaction to culture shock will affect their ability to adapt to a new ...

Nowadays the Internet is full of memes that became newly designed media tools. At the moment, our society is just beginning to truly interpret the real concept of memes. Susan Blackmore in her article “The Power of Memes” gives the definition of them: “Memes are stories, songs, habits, skills, inventions and ways of doing things that we copy from person to person by imitation.” (Blackmore, 52) They gradually burst into our life as funny pictures, jokes, funny videos and phrases, but their purpose is much more global.

Introduction

In the advent of globalization, an increasing number of people have opted to move across countries due to the relatively diminishing size of the world. Employers have also found themselves in receipt of multiple job applications from foreign individuals. The hiring and retention of a foreign employee are usually guided by a different legislation than the one governing the employment of national employees. One of the most fundamental freedoms provided by to the EU citizens is the free movement of persons. All EU citizens have unrestricted freedom to live, study and work in any member state of the union ...

Position Paper for the Organization of American States

The topic before the Organization of American States is Migrant Workers: Protection of Labor Rights. The OAS stands with a conviction that the problems affecting migrants in the Dominican Republic, particularly those pertaining to labor should be addressed and resolved.

The Dominican Republic has the obligation to address the Haitian influx of cross-border migrants, in the same way that the Haitian government has the responsibility to its own citizens. Haiti became a member of OAS in 1949 while the Dominican Republic entered as a member of the OAS in 1948 (oas.org). The Organization of American States, being ...

Introduction

It is well documented that there is an entire underground economy in the United States, and much of it is at the behest of the millions of undocumented workers that live within its borders. While there are numerous factors contributed to this reality, many illegal immigrants work in jobs that pay them off the books. This results in no taxes being paid by either the employer of the immigrant, and it also results in a lack of legal protections and benefits for the workers. Many of the undocumented workers living in America come to work on farms and in ...

The main criteria for differentiation between governmental, quasi-governmental and voluntary health agencies are the funding sources and system, subjects of administration. Their common aim is to develop a community’s ability to solve the health-related issues effectively.

Quasi-governmental agencies represent a mixed form of administration, that comprises some official tasks and responsibilities, partially governmental funding, but at the same time are able to operate independently. As for the nongovernmental health agencies, they receive their donations only from ...

What insights do the Lange's and the stories by actual women who lived during the Depression give you about women's lives and roles in the Great Depression? Answer. The insights given by Lange’s pictures and other stories from women who lived during the era of great depression explain the plight of women when they were not able to comply with the sudden loss of their jobs and source of income (Pehlan,"The Story of the Migrant Mother"). The great depression eroded the business and associated employment with them but the women were not only victimized of the economic ...

Most member states of the European Union ratified various international treaties and conventions that are supposed to protect human rights. However, reports by various human rights groups have posted disturbing figures about the number of asylum seekers and immigrants who cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe but are not given asylum.

Education is a central aspect of every government in Britain. It forms a fundamental aspect of the political promises of all parties. In the period of 1995 to 2006, the UK governments spent 5.2% to 5.9% of the gross domestic product on education.

Hawaii is an American state where Europeans are not the majority of residents and it is the home to the largest Asian-American community in America. The Asian-American population consists of Koreans, Filipino, Japanese, and Chinese (Avila-Tapies and Dominguez-Mujica 56).

Introduction

Much of the human suffering and economic disadvantages that occurred during the Great Depression (1929-1933) were a result of the boom mentality and unregulated business practices of the 1920s. People with a corrupt kind of business acumen exploited the weakest segments of society in the poorest regions. Praying on a naïve boom psychology, businessmen led a devastating attack on the Midwest that ultimately was not curbed by politicians or financial institutions until the middle 1930s. New businesses exploited weak government controls and took on many of the same exploitative practices as the Robber Baron businessmen of the 19th ...

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 ...

Question 1

Assimilation, ethnic pluralism or multiculturalism in the US and transnationalism for immigrants share certain similarities but even though they also differ markedly with reference to migration of women and their rights or status in the receiving nation. Either way, immigrants have got to eventually adapt to one of these immigration aspects in the long run. One notable similarity among these concepts is that all of them share the notion of social relations among members of the society. They all relate to the social interactions that exist within the members of the community, particularly between immigrants and their new-found friends ...

Net receipts

When the exchange rate is GBP1 = EUR1.37

Option 1: Forward contract

We subtract the forward points from the spot rates since the bid forward point is greater than ask forward points. Beck Plc. will have 8.5 million euros hence it will buy British pounds at the ask rate. Amount receivable = 8,500,0001.4047 = GBP 6,051,114.11 Net amount received = amount receivable – forward contract cost/premium = 6,051,114.11 – 0 = GBP 6,051,114.11

Option 2: Option hedge

We use a put option since it is a receivable. The spot rate is more favourable than the exercise rate hence Beck Plc. will not exercise the option. Amount receivable = ...

At the national level, aspects related to globalization, assimilation, and cultural competencies are ...

Nowadays a huge role is played by the interaction of different cultures, a complex system of relations, which in the context of cultural diversity gives rise to such a phenomenon as multiculturalism. Migration process is the most important driver of change in the economic, social and cultural spheres. Migration flows are characterized by mass migration from densely populated underdeveloped countries in the densely populated developed countries. Sometimes migrants do not accept the values ​​of the society and do not show any desire to accept these values. In turn, the isolation of migrants, being partly the result of social deprivation ...

In a neoliberal, globalized world, no country can exist on its ‘own’. In some way or the other every country is interlinked with the rest of the world be it its economy, its culture or politics. Neoliberalism, technology and increased globalization has transformed countries in a manner that was rapid and unprecedented. While some countries adapted themselves to the new ways of trading and conducting relations with other countries, some did not, resulting in the breakdown of their economies as well as their traditional systems of governance and living. The neoliberal policies originated in the developed countries of America ...

Statement of Purpose and Academic Motivation

Intercultural management practices and competence has been poorly explored by the academic community from the perspective of multicultural Finnish professional life (Weber, Festing & Dowling, 2013). In spite of the fact that various cultural issues in the employment context have been studied from the purely managerial perspective, the majority of these studies relate to either migration of the highly skilled professionals (Thomas & Peterson, 2014), reflected common international trends (Van der Vijer, Hemert & Poortinga, 2008) or evaluated financial performance of the institutions, which significantly attracted employees with different cultural backgrounds (Smith, 2004). This research, however, pursues a number of unique objectives, ...

The globalization along with growing inequality between and within countries has brought new trends that today cause mixed reaction from the society. The global migration is considered one of the most crucial issues of the 21th century. There are more than 232 million of international migrants in the world. If they could occupy a separate territory for living it would be a new population in the world, strong enough due to its multicultural background (The United Nations, 3).

Prior to this article, “there has been no previous direct empirical evidence” in Dubai and the researchers wanted “to fill this ...

There is a lot to admire from the migrant community residing in Collier County. For a fact, the society is primarily comprised of farm workers that spend most of their days attempting to make their lives better. It is essential to note that the community is mainly comprised of citizens with a low financial profile. In fact, this is the primary reason for their migration from their native nations. Generally, the entire community is comprised of citizens of a Hispanic descent that have a formidable belief in religion (Coalition of Immokalee Workers, 2016). This assertion can be established through ...

It is ironical that migrant laborers, who comprise a whopping 85 percent of UAE workforce, face severe issues regarding discrimination, human rights violation, human trafficking, and racism. Newspaper and report headlines stating "conditions for Abu Dhabi's migrant workers shame the West", and UAE: A Move to Protect Migrant workers" duly expose the harsh conditions faced by migrants from surrounding nations. There is a great deal of literature on the conditions these helpless workers face on the foreign soil; however, there is a dearth of studies linking the impacts of these circumstances to the psychological health of migrant laborers. This ...

Problem Statement

A country’s economic trend greatly attributes to its workforce in various sectors, including tourism. Various governments should therefore offer a series of contributions in order to facilitate for the planning and development of their workforce. Consequently, respective governments should be responsible for policy formation and supervision of their implementation, and additionally facilitate for the overall planning of workforce issues. Therefore, an outlook and a critical analysis of the responsibility of government policy in workforce development and planning are relevant. In addition, the role of government officials and tourism managers in the overall planning of workforce issues in the ...
