Alien vs. Predator: Mankind in the Middle We all want to know how mankind developed into the complex system of cultures that we have today. One theory is that our development was directly influenced by beings from out of this world. In this paper, I will be looking at the way assimilation, rites of passage and diffusion directly affect human culture. Specifically, how the Predator culture used each of these to influence sects of human culture. In the movie Alien vs. Predator we get a glimpse of what that may have looked like as we see the aftermath of the Predators thousand year old organization of tribal man into a civilization that worshiped them as gods. This movie shows how the Predator culture forced assimilation on mankind, making their…
However, many scientists adore trophic cascades, and will inaccurately declare a situation so. In order to confirm that a trophic cascade is really taking place, there is a number of criteria that must be met (Grubbs et al.). The following requirements in order to confirm a trophic cascade is occurring are, a temporal correlation of abundance trends, spatiotemporal overlap, prey growth rapid compared to predator, prey being a significant attribute to the predator’s diet, and predator primary…
marked by Proposition 187, the1994 Save Our State (SOS) initiative to make illegal aliens ineligible from using non-emergency health care, public education, and other public services in the State of California ( “California’s Proposition 187” ). Between 1990 and 1995, more than 1.1 million migrants came to the United States every year on average (Passel and Roberto).

Other states like New York and Texas were given an estimated 5,000 unaccompanied alien minors to attend schooling and cosseted…
With DACA’s future uncertain and Trump tightening his policies, many Americans are wondering what is to become of the immigrants in our nation. While some advocate for harsher patrol of the border and deportation, some espouse that focusing primarily on the safety of everyone in the proximity is of utmost importance. In The Devil’s Highway: A True Story (2004), Luis Alberto Urrea, poet and novelist, promotes the latter as he describes the journey of the Wellington 26, which is a group of Mexican…

But is it really a bad idea? The influx of illegal immigrants coming into the United States has led to an increase in government spending, and the upsurge of violent crime in some states. There are about 11 million undocumented immigrants in the…

The airport officer closely scrutinises Maria’s appearance and thereafter escorts her to the interrogation room. Border control officers scrutinize passengers without any clear regulations but through the power of observation and the relative…
