One reason for the difficulty in forming a consistent definition is the diverse opinion people have about the Zero Tolerance Policy. Due to considerable research on the policy and its effectiveness, educators understand there are pros and cons to the policy. Although Skiba is an opponent of the policy, he does cite a few examples of how the policy can positively impact school safety. One specific example cited in Skiba’s research is in February 1999 when two middle school girls were expelled for making a bomb threat causing an evacuation of the students and staff. The school responded appropriately by offering an alternative placement and then reinstated the students one year later.…
Today, the United States is encountering a major debate on whether or not they should let in more Syrian refugees. When the time comes for the United States to be asked as haven, the country 's actions and innactions addressing the problems behind and of the refugees, defnitely does go down in history. The United States has been seen as a "... world leader in recognizing the moral obligation to resettle refugees." So, once the county fails to meet expectations, the country is then questioned upon its title, and the world lay on its shoulders[1]. There are two big events in which others look back on in comparison to today 's current event.…

The solution to all of these cheap ethnics and women in the workforce, when immigration restriction was no longer viable, was a litany of minimum wage, maximum hour, and improved working standard legislations designed to artificially raise the cost of employing them, and thereby protect the wages of the Anglo-Saxon male breadwinners. Paul Kellogg, social surveyor, whose work The Survey argued for immigration restriction, wanted a tariff on immigrant labor (in actuality a minimum wage) to keep out inferior workers just like the tariff did with cheaper foreign products. Similar views were held by many prominent economists. To the charges that the unemployed workers would be a burden on society, University of Chicago pastor and sociologist Charles…
I don’t see the point of just banning assault weapons, why not all fire arms? Hence, most of the crimes committed over the past years were semi-automatic. They are considered non-assault weapons because it only can shoot one round per pull, but they can cause a massacre. On the other hand, assault weapons are considered full- automatic because it only takes one pull to fire all the rounds, which can kill hundreds of people in matters of seconds. In contrast, If we compare an M4 and AR-15 rifle, they look the same but they have different functionalities.…

rated from México with the idea of having a better future, but faced a lot of problems and stressors due to their status. It was easy for my parents to hear stories from other people that the U.S. was a place for change and a better future, but did not know all the challenges and stressors they had to experience to make their dreams come true. The stressor was a random stressor event because my parents were not well informed about immigrating to the U.S and they had the idea that it would be for a better future. The stressor event was intense since the beginning my parents immigrated to the U.S to have a better future, but as soon as the got here it was different and they struggled in many negative ways. The stressor was intense from the beginning…

Citizens living in the late 19th to the early 20th century had different outlooks on immigration restrictions. Immigration restrictions were a way for America to control the number of immigrants welcomed into the United States. In the four documents that were viewed Senator Henry Lodge, President Woodrow Wilson, the US Census Bureau, and the Library of Congress gave information on the outlook of immigration restriction and whether or not they objected to immigration restriction. After taking a look through all documents it makes sense to be against immigration restrictions in the late 19th and early 20th century because it goes against the policy of America, it no longer matters about the character of an immigrant, and it focuses on education…
War can be loud and visible or quiet and remote. It affects the individual and entire societies, the soldier, and the civilian. Both U.S. prisoners of war in Japan and Japanese- American citizens in the United States during WWII undergo efforts to make them “invisible”.

Is Government Censorship a Violation of Our Rights? The First Amendment of the Constitution clearly states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (First Amendment-U.S. Constitution) However, government censorship is still a heavily debated issue in the United States.

Although having a nice quiet lunch sounds like a great idea; however, it is wrong to ban people for being a specific age. It is 12:00 in the afternoon and teens are starving, the few restaurants around them are gross and unhealthy, until they see Munchy’s. They read a sign on the door and it says that teens are not allowed from noon to 3 PM. Teenagers are known for being obnoxious; however, this does not cancel out the fact that there will be just as much noise coming from the adults, if not more. Saying that just the teenagers were loud and messy is wrong and offensive because it was not just the teenagers, the adults were also being loud.…
