Think about the people at your school, at your job, or even the person right next to you. We all come from different places, different background and different cultures. We all call the United States our home. We all migrated here somehow, either from our parents bringing us here or from our ancestor. The United States is a melting pot, there's no doubt about it. Without immigrants the United States wouldn't be the United States it is today. Immigrants do make up a big deal in the United State’s…

1 There are approximately 326 million people living in the U.S. About half of that number, represents the amount of people in the FBI’s Next Generation Identification Database. Wait - what is that? 2 Let’s take a step back. Living in the 21st century, we’ve all heard about fingerprint sensors - in fact, around 75% of the general population uses fingerprint recognition to unlock a device. In recent breakthroughs in technology, a new biometric system(a biometric system is the technology that…

Germanic peoples occupied much of the present-day territory of Germany during the Bronze and early Iron Ages. When Rome was expanding northwards, Germanic groups were expanding southwards into what is present day Southern Germany. The Germanic agricultural system was vital to the economy. Many of the Germans were herders, but some of them were farmers. They grew wheat, barley, oats, and rye. Northern Germany was known as Germania Inferior, and Southern Germany was known as Germania Superior.…

history have been targeted by nativism. Nativism is excluding the immigrants who come into the country whether it’s legally or illegally. However, throughout the United States’ history they have excluded so many people groups from the Chinese, to Europeans, and people from the Middle East. It seems like they try to do this in order to get the immigrants to leave, which never seems to work. The United States seems to have excluded more people groups then most other countries. They have come up…

Immigration is a way to keep America diverse and innovative. The skills immigrants have to offer to the United States can greatly benefit us in all aspects of government and life: economy, employment, and societal impact. As of right now, the Immigration Policy in America is strict and does not leave room for immigrants to prove themselves worthy of settlement in the States. But to ensure complete safety and authorized actions, requirements for settlers from any country include providing…

First-Wave Immigrants During the time of revolutionary War a large number in the amount of white immigrants came from the British Isles. There is an association in the social status of a person and their timing from when their ancestors arrived in the United States. However, African Americans are at a disadvantage in this pattern. Although they came over as some of the earliest immigrants, their status is excluded because they are African American and were separate from whites. The majority of…

In the year 2014, 1.36 million “foreign-born individuals moved to the United States” (Zong / Batalova). All with the hope of achieving the “American dream”: a better life, better job opportunities, a brighter education. Between these 1.36 million was my family and I, with the hopes of achieving the same goal as many others. Regrettably, as of November 8th of 2016, when a new government came upon, the dream of millions for a better life, a brighter education, has become the nightmare of many.…

Although I have never experienced the culture of Italy, I expect it to have many differences from the United States. For example, from what I have seen in photographs, architectural styles differ. The people of ancient Rome built enormous structures such as the Colosseum. Other buildings in Italy come from the Renaissance age, such as the leaning tower of Pisa. Besides the different styles in buildings, I have heard that the food in Italy is quite different compared to the food America offers.…

In America, Americans live in a country that allows us to have the freedom of choice, bringing all types of religions, languages, and ethnicities to the United States. If I were to describe our country, I would start off by outlining this country as a place where people abide by the laws and consider questions such as a person’s age, salary, weight, or religion offensive. If a foreigner were to approach an American, the American might take a step away because they like their personal space…
