Generalization

Throughout the past election cycle, I have experienced many degrading comments and accusations of being a racist because of my political opinions. Although some of these comments may not mean any harm, I have taken them to heart. I am a conservative, and because of my view, some people with opposing viewpoints accuse me of racial intolerance.

Illegal immigrants either in the United States or making their way into the country are constantly under fire of generalizations. The goal of a generalization is to help explain why an event occurs while looking at patterns and reoccurring factors, and predict what will happen in the future. Such can be explained with the behaviors of the illegal immigrants moving through the United States and Canada. As seen in the documentary, Wetbacks, it was not the first time that many of these people had…

I’ve got some crazy hungry cats. They crave wet food. Any time they hear the sound of the can being opened they immediately run to the kitchen, start to whine, and jump on the counter where they know it is going to be prepared. If they can’t hear the sound, it’s the smell that grabs their attention, but they usually keep an ear open for it, as it is the most exciting part of their day. Their meows and rubs against my leg seem to be their way of telling me to hurry up, as if that would speed up…
