My family research project will focus on the fourth wave of migration and the identity of American immigrants especially Muslim immigrants. There are several questions that I will focus on in my family research projects such as what economical or social condition motivated for people to migrate to the US after 1965 and how it is different from the previous waves of immigration, but the main question that I will focus on is how to recent Muslim immigrants identity themselves socially and…

Let us build a wall! All Muslims are terrorist! Illegal immigrants are stealing our jobs! These are all statements that have been circulating around the media. Why such negativity towards Illegal immigrants? What does it really even mean to be an illegal immigrant? In the United States when speaking about Illegal immigration it is usual that the first groups to come up as a discussion are Mexicans. The truth is that Mexicans are not the only illegal immigrants; the United State is built with all…

In my opinion, segregation is still a significant point in the 21st century. Racial differences and ethnic misunderstandings are frequently complicated due to the long history of slavery and the endless waves of immigration across the country. People usually does not ultimately maintain objectivity when discussing isolation, because their opinion emerges without them even noticing it did. Foreign relations can have an enormous impact on the race relations based on previous problems and…

Before beginning this essay on Sociological Imagination, I wanted to state that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the best Football team in the world and Eminem is the best rapper to spit. Sociological Imagination is how one thing that is affecting one culture can also have an affect on my culture at the same time. The problem I think of that fits this is ISIS. ISIS is an extremely violent and ruthless terrorist group. They don't care how or what you do they are out to kill. This radical group is…

Life, Liberty and the Dispute of Happiness "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" (Lazarus, lines 10-14) This excerpt is from Emma Lazarus’ “The New Colossus” which is on a bronze plaque inside the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island. The Statue of Liberty represents the welcoming of tens of thousands of immigrants from around…

After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, it is safe to say that individuals both in the United States and around the world were impacted by this horrible event. It shocked the nation in more ways than one and till this day we continue to see the influence it has on global media regarding international relations and politics. After 9/11, the “attacks” did not just stop in New York and Washington, they continued in our media. The news coverage changed dramatically by altering the public…

Abderrahmane Sissako directed the film Timbuktu, which is a city in, west African state of Mali. The movie is related to the bias infringement of the relentless Jihadist. The invaders use fear, violence, and terrorism to suppress the harmless people living there. The mortified citizens of Timbuktu must comply with the new Sharia law enforced on them or else they will face severe consciences. The city once was a magical community, with diverse traditions and enriched with history but now is being…

History Although no subdominant group living in the United States lives without experiencing one form of oppression or marginalization, the 9/11 attacks turned the Muslim American living situation from bad into worse (Jamal and Naber, 2008). The post-9/11 era in America was a frightening one, but increasingly terrifying for Muslim Americans seemingly being blamed for the actions of isolated terrorist organizations in foreign countries (Jamal and Naber, 2008). Even though it is often nonphysical,…

How does each affect the foreign policy of the United States and what possible repercussions exist with the use of either power model? I conceptualize shrewd force as including both delicate and hard power, whose extents will fluctuate by connection. I contend that the US official starts its counter-terrorism strategizing with an appraisal of the terrorist risk from a specific nation. The US official will utilize hard energy to battle a fleeting terrorist risk, delicate energy to battle a long…
