While reading this chapter, it reminded me of the transition from a little kid to a pre-teen. As a child, you are dependent on your parents, like the developing countries depending on first world countries. As you get older however, you become independent of each other. My parents expected me to get good grades, clean my room, do my own laundry, etc. I expected my parents to drive me to soccer practice, pay for school, bills, etc. The developing and developed countries began to depend on each…

The topic my group decided to debate on is should immigration who are in the country illegally be allowed to remain I the U.S? I personally believe that families who have children enrolled in public or private school should be given the proper chance at earning citizenship in the United States. Instead of breaking up families, communities, and friendships created among classmates and teammates.

Romeo and Juliet only met each other four times before they got married. There are many theories that they really weren't truly in love. Romeo and Juliet possibly could've just…
