It prohibits state or local government agencies from providing illegal immigrants with public services, such as public education, emergency medical care and other social services. It would also have established the system of screening citizenship across the…

8th or 9th grade, skating and Skate City was a major destination in my life. When I was 6 years old living in Germany, one of my favorite family outings was going to the skating rink. I remember going for my brothers’ birthday parties or going with our church family. It was always a big group affair. When I moved to Aurora, CO in 2006—about 4th or 5th grade—my dad and I started going on “Daddy-daughter dates” to Skate City, just the two of us. It became a way that we bonded, and some of my most…

Case Study #2: Javari Brown Over the past couple of months, I’ve had the opportunity to do my internship at Camp Connri. Camp Connri is a part of The Salvation Army and is run by Salvation Army officers Jon and Sienna Jackson.

respective viewpoints on warfare. In these stories, Auden and Bierce articulate that a desire for glory drives nations and individuals to war, demonstrate their pessimistic views of the world, and show that the biggest loser in war is humanity and our world as a whole. Auden and Bierce share a belief that men are driven to destroy one another in war in order to acquire greater glory and fame. The two writers believe this is caused by a contrast between what…

A World’s Religions class permits the students to enhance their knowledge in terms of others people’s religions, in what others believe in and all the things they experience in their daily life, their customs and how we can all make connections to Catholicism. As a society, we all have the duty to accept each other, such as respecting each other's religions, in order to have a better quality of life. All Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism and Islam celebrate their truth in their own way and we should…

The Apprentice “How long have you been employed, Miss Baxter?” questioned the man who'd previously claimed to be employed by the New York gazette. He'd arrived last night with his expensive shoes and pristine garments, asked for his share of salted pork, then requested the cleanest cot in the whole infirmary. Now he sat with Margaret Baxter, still clothed in her apron that was once as white as snow but now stained with dried blood. Originally, the reporter wanted to pester Miss Clara Barton,…

we went to the back tables and we were always the last to get service. In hotels, we would be told that the hotels were fully occupied even when there was evidence of vacancies. The harassment in public places was even more apparent than before. Our struggle was still there, but we now had a door that was cracked open just enough to see a sign of hope. One of the leaders that a lot of the younger adult Blacks looked up to was Malcolm X. His approach to the civil rights movement was different…

Client Group and Referral Information The client system that I work with includes men, women and children from various backgrounds that have been displaced for various reasons. Currently, I am working with a family of four which includes a mother, father and 2 children, an 8 year old year girl from a previous relationship and a 2 and half year old boy together. My initial assessment of them is that they were all dressed appropriately. However, during my intake with SF, the odor of cigarettes was…
