Their intellect and bank of empirical evidence left them with an enormous power and an array of choices: they could invalidate or validate the restrictionists’ claims (i.e. that immigration of the darker Europeans, from Southern and Eastern Europe, hurt American society). Though it was perceived that the Commission’s empirical research on immigration favored restrictionism, they could have easily manipulated the social scientific data to favor cosmopolitans instead. Restrictionist…

The European motivations for colonization were different for each European Nation. Motivations included finding gold, preventing others from spreading, gaining wealth, gaining political advantage and to spread religion and ideas to the New World. In the Spanish, French and English expansion, each European Nation’s approach was different causing the failure of the French and the English, and leaving the Spanish as the only country to successfully establish colonization in the New World although…

The European crisis has affected numerous individuals over the years, and still continues to affect several of them. As stated in the article “Why did the Crisis happen?” It all began “When a slowdown in the US economy caused over-extended American homeowners to default on their mortgages, banks all over the world with investments linked to those mortgages started losing money.” (2014) Our fourth largest bank in America collapsed, and other banks feared the same would happen to them.

Lazarus’s poem references and symbolizes freedom, opportunity, independence, and compassion to the…

In addition, the two countries together generate just over 30% of the of the world trade, and half of the gross domestic product (European External Action Service).

The European Union is one of the most idealistic and promising entities on the planet. It is a beacon of coming togetherness in order to promote an international wellness. However,such a political organisation will not exist without its flaws. The EUs flaws are in how its internal politics work. While the EU does try to promote a stronger Europe, sometimes this is at the cost of individual countries. The ‘one country one vote system’ that is present incentivises votes that promote the general…

The group of immigrants that came to the united states around the 1870s-1920s came from southern, Latin American, European countries, and even a small portion came from Asian countries. They did not speak English, and most of the immigrant’s religions were Catholic and Jewish. The immigrants coming into America did not stay in rural areas they preferred urban areas, or eastern cites. This group of immigrants came mostly through Ellis island and upon arrival they were checked for diseases, and…

This was a process was slow since many of the European states were forced to reconstruct their states infrastructure literally from the ground up because it was severely damaged or completely destroyed. Finally in 1956 following a great deal of encouragement pressure from the American government six European states agreed to form a one large economic unit with an open free market as a means to rebuild their devastated…
