“In the United States, 31% or 133 billion pounds of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels in 2010 went uneaten. The estimated value of this food loss was $161.6 billion using retail prices. For the first time, ERS estimated the calories associated with food loss: 141 trillion in 2010, or 1,249 calories per capita per day.”(EndHunger) That is insane the amount we’re wasting each year. The amount we waste could possibly feed millions of starving…

In the late 19th century, people across the globe left their homelands in hopes to find freedom in the United States. Overwhelming populations of immigrants flooded urban areas like New York City. The “native” Americans skeptics of immigrants resulted in the assimilation of many immigrants because of the threat they caused. The out-casting of immigrants in large cities by the “native” Americans led to the formation of immigrant neighborhoods in order to have a sense of community. The condensed…

In many ways, the experiences of an immigrant can be compared to those of a student leaving for college. Both persons seek to grow as individuals and allow themselves to gain experiences and opportunities that were previously unimaginable to them. To contrast this, many American college students are not leaving a home ridden by poverty, malnourishment, or neglect. The majority of immigrants who flee their countries have the intent to return. They leave behind their families, their belongings,…

The United States had welcomed several different nationalities of immigrants to its shores before by the mid 1970’s; there were thousands of Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Polish, Spanish and my other nationalities living in the United States at that time. One nationality of people that had a very minute population in the United States at that time was the Vietnamese. Those few that were here in America were spouses and children of military personnel (Rkasnuam & Batalova, 2014). This small…

Over ten billion chickens, cows, pigs, and lambs are being killed every year in the United States for food. If you lined up these animals and sent them into space, they would reach the moon and back five times. (Bittman) Of all of the animals, about half of them will never get eaten and instead thrown out. This shocking statistic only includes the waste of these four animals; imagine every other food added to this. The numbers add up- waste of food in America is a serious problem. Food waste is…

To start off, Immigration is a growing issue in the U.S.A and many other countries. In today's society, there is an estimated 11.4 MILLION people that illegally had entered the U.S.A. Now just think 11.4 million jobs that are being taken away from America’s hard working society. Think of the almost 12 million other immigrants that legally entered the U.S.A. That is another 12 million jobs that American homeless Veterans, retired doctors, and dropouts could have. This Issue has only grown is…

There are stories from the 1880s in Italy about women doing all of the work in the community because the men left and immigrated to “Pittsbourgo.” These men came to Pennsylvania from the 1880s to the beginning of the First World War in order to find work. The Italian immigrants and descendants of those migrants became one of the most influential ethnic groups even though immigration quota laws enacted after World War I reduced the number of Italian immigrants to Pennsylvania. The vast majority…

Finland and the U.S are a lot alike but they also have different laws and rights and military decisions. Like how in Finland you can have small quantities of drugs. And in the U.S you can’t, Or how the U.S military has been around so long that some have not even been recorded. And maybe even how Finland was the first place to let women vote and run for president. But for us never allowed that till way later. In Finland following laws is very important. Like illegal drinking laws, In Finland,…

Table to Trash “There is food for everyone on this planet, but not everyone eats,” exclaimed Carlo Petrini, the founder of a grassroot movement. Food is thrown out by regular people and big companies as if it is nothing, when in fact it’s almost worth its weight in gold to the hungry. Human nature stands in the way of getting unwanted food to those who need it. This paper talks about how a person’s routine adds to food waste; the impact food waste has on nature; and the laws that prevented the…

If I were fortunate enough to receive the scholarship that the “From a Different Perspective” organization, it would be an opportunity of a lifetime if I were able to embark France. If I were given this special opportunity, I would choose to embark Provence – Alpes – Côte d’Azur, a region in Southeastern France and formerly known as Provence. Provence is known for their beautiful field of lavender flower. I chose Provence for the geographical benefits of the regions such as being close to the…
