According to Espejo (2013), “The border seems to show that a commitment to universal equality is incompatible with discrimination along geographic lines. Particularly, that rights to free movement clash with the state’s right to exclude aliens from its territory” (p. 13). In effect, the author is expressing that the wall is an adherent obstruction to the free will of all people and their right to enter and exit a territory freely; thus, not only is the U.S. border wall inefficient but also…

Prometheus directed by Scott Ridley, who is known for Blade Runner (1982), Alien (1979), Gladiator (2000), and Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014).

published July 22, 2014 and citing Joseph Chamie, criticizes the seeming receptiveness of the world’s borders, deeming the current policies and security against illegal immigration ineffectual to their purposes and especially raising concern over alien children. The article recalls issues globally, deploying reasons for illegal crossings and the surge of migrants occurring in recent years, including violent crime and corrupt officials while turning…

America is the land of the free and welcomes everyone, but some people take advantage of it. With violence all over the world, foreigners want to flee to another country for safety. People causing the violence want to create more violence, so some people flee as well with the fleeing victims to other countries to spread more violence. Unless someone is 100% Native American, American citizens have had an ancestor come over to America as an immigrant. Immigrants have been coming over for centries.…

America has the largest immigration rate in the world. These immigrants are having difficulties getting settled in our country. There are the nationalists who oppose these immigrants for taking away “American jobs.” It is important to see immigrants, not as enemies, but as people. Though some U.S. citizens welcome immigrants, there are still many who are hostile toward them. For example, immigrants who move here from places such as India, get paid a third of the amount an American-born…

The latest broadcast is the eruption of God’s revival and the Aliens take over. The doomsday, without Hollywood glittering effects, erupted the world in flames. God’s voice boomed. Angry. Betrayed. Destructive. How could his people forget his ways? How could they embrace technology and science so readily? And they, the Aliens, questioned the same. How could they? The humans. Embrace such controversial power when science was right in the palm of their hand? Before the world twisted black, I…

control officers scrutinize passengers without any clear regulations but through the power of observation and the relative system of individuation can be well illustrated by the films airport scene. The vagueness of US regulations on the inspection of aliens leaves it open to the interpretation of the airport officer to determine the legality or illegality of inspections. This makes many people susceptible to cultural stereotyping by the border officers (Newman 164). This raises the question of…

Billy Ayers, an American social activist, said “Imperialism or globalization - I don't have to care what it's called to hate it”. The history and discoveries have proofed that since the very ancient time, people have been enthusiastic about making new discoveries by travelling far away from their homeland. People from different regions gathered to do economic trades, ideas exchanges, and also cultural swaps. Furthermore, this huge historical phenomenon continues until today. Mufwene (2010)…

abstract while Jost’s article contains an introductory paragraph at the beginning of the article that summarizes the topic that “Americans are very concerned about illegal immigration but ambivalent about what to do about it — especially the 11 million aliens currently in the United States illegally.”(Jost 229) Jost uses the introductory paragraph to explain the purpose of the article. Furman’s article has a reference section at the end of the article and although Jost’s article does not contain…

great creature feature. The thing that really sold Stung for me was when they used practical effects, as is always the case. Something else that surprised was Lance Henriksen being in this film, as I've loved his work since I saw him as bishop in Aliens when I was a child. The inclusion of Clifton Collins Jr. certainly didn't hurt the film at all as well. Stung opens with a Wasp mutating, then stinging another wasp, causing to transform. We then cut to Julia (Jessica Cook), who has recently…
