Foreigner

To an extent, this could be connected to my immersion in the company as I am also an advantage for the store, and they have the opportunity to showcase me while I stand trying to sell shoes. Even right from the start, my identity is foreigner, Wiaguoren. People addressed me as the Waiguoren. There is never a day that I hear my coworkers identify me with that words or costumers when they notice me clearly. The results are important to mention. Because I am a foreigner, I am watched by my coworkers and manager more than others. In several situations, I do not take care of an issue on my own because when I have a problem with a costumer, a coworker rushes to the situation and takes over for me. My problems are solved even without me asking. Thus, making it could make me feel a tad useless and like a burden to the store and my coworkers. In my opinion, I would be tired of helping the foreigner that should be more prepared to be working in retail. I noted on my second day and third day on the job, in my field notes that I felt like a burden, but I was receiving this feeling from my coworkers that they seemed happy to assist and would teach me new words and help with my pronunciation. In addition, there were times where my identity and language difficulty caused me to get in problems where the costumers…

The Annie Russell Theatre’s presentation of Foreigner was an enjoyable and captivating experience, in which I commend. The play exhibits the story of an English visitor to a small town in Georgia and the ways in which he becomes integrated into their culture, while pretending to be a foreigner who cannot speak english. Conflict occurs when Charlie, the “foreigner,” upsets the cultural uniformity in the town as anti-immigrant tensions rise. The story contains the main themes of cultural…

From Natives to Foreigners: The Mechanisms of Modernity Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians? This question sets the tone, of the overt “events ”of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire, which begs the question, how can these “events” be recognized by both, the Armenian Republic and the Turkish State; but, does not create a discourse to clearly answer what transpired?

The Fear of the Foreigner Xenophobia can be defined as the attitudes, prejudices and behaviour that reject, exclude persons, based on the perception that they are outsiders or foreigners to the community, society or national identity.

Many foreigners came to America in the 1800’s and the foreigners expressed their views on the people and the functionality of America. When reading the letters on the views the English had on America, a big topic is the saying that America is the “land of the free” and how in some ways it is and other ways it's not. Slavery was a huge practice that went against the “land of the free”. While some of the Americans were trying to make this new equality felt, the familiarity grew hugely. Many…

breath recovering from laugh or gasp of total agreement. One of the chapters in Dumas’s autobiography, she states: “Most immigrants agree that at some point, we become permanent foreigners…” Her statement puzzled me, it was the very truth that I did not dare to let it out. Term “permanent foreigners” does not mean legal alien not permanent resident in United States. In United States, my social statues define me as a foreigner; in Korea, I do not have a place I call home, I am a foreigner in my…
