Immigration to the United States

Immigrants from all over have come to the United States for better life chances such as work, school, and to escape violence. Many people perceive the United States as the greatest country on Earth because of the many job opportunities and great schools housed there. Because people are migrating to new lands or countries, I believed that it must be hard for immigrant youths to excel or adapt to a new culture. I believed this because I previously worked at an elementary school where there were…

little is found evidence wise, but there have been multiple accusations that were just deemed not credible.

November 9th 2016 was a mournful day for the majority of the people that I know, including myself. I believe that Michelle Agins analysis may have been accurate only in alignment with the sample that she has chosen. When first listening to this article I was astonished at the fact that those who “persevere” as opposed to the “coddled” were less affected. Her article may have said one thing but the looks of my Facebook account, and the depressing look I watched in my morning commute to work said…

On one hand, we have the poem ‘Medusa’ by Carol Ann Duffy, in a dramatic monologue based on a mythical creature, Medusa, whose insecurity and jealousy leads her to believe that her husband is cheating on her.

On the other hand ,we have ‘Les Grandes Seigneurs’ by Dorothy Molloy which is about an aggrandized woman’s romantic relationship with men there to entertain her and to support her self-aggrandizement. However,…

According to a study Undocumented Immigrants’ State and Local Tax Contribution, done by ITEP undocumented immigrants paid an estimate of $11.84 billion in state and local taxes in 2012 and will increase by $840 million a year if DAPA is passed. Despite the fact that undocumented immigrants contribute billions in tax revenue every year, they have…

title Discrimination occurs everyday in the United States, and it can take the many different forms. Discrimination is defined as the unequal treatment of a person or group of people. Discrimination in the workplace was made illegal by the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects U.S. citizens from being discriminated against due to his or her race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, when seeking a job ( Lee ). Although this act allowed many people to obtain certain jobs…
