Lotteries in the United States

2004. My parents went through a long process to move to the United States of America. One night in Chepen, my parents invited their friends over for dinner. During the dinner, a conversation was brought up about the U.S. Government giving away 5 green cards in a lottery. My parents applied and sent the application form to the United States government, however they did not think they were going to win. They received a card from the United States government saying that they got their application…

In the United States of America live 300 million people (worldometer). The US accepts people into the country based on their citizenship. People who don’t have to prove that they know about their heritage, they are simply born into American citizenship. Then there is the other population of people who deserve the same acceptance as the rest: the group of 42.1 million legal immigrants trying to fit in with the average American (Center For Immigration Studies). This group of people works hard and…

Suzanne Collins was born in 1969 in Hartford, Connecticut. She was the daughter of an air force pilot and therefore she spent her childhood moving around the United States.

receives and more, and is, simply put, good for America. Miranda makes it easy to learn about American history, a topic otherwise painfully monotonous to many a high school student, while also emphasizing the iridescent melting pot that is the United States; he also manages to unite Americans and America alike through reminding people of the difficulties in the past overcome by coming together in dire…

My American Dream For centuries, people from different countries have started to migrate to the United States for a better life. This mission of being successful is known for being an American Dream. The American Dream is basically someone who is trying their hardest to become successful in life. Those who come to the United States tend to work the hardest so they can support themselves, their family, and to be happy. For example, someone who worked very hard to support their family and be…

musicians had protested through music is the United States involvement in the Vietnam War. Phil Ochs was one of many protest singers of the era, his song “Draft Dodger Rag” protested the draft that occurred during the war. In 1965, the United States started to send soldiers to fight in the Vietnam War. To make the army larger, the U.S. used what is called the draft. This required young men born in range of years from 1944 to 1950 to register. The first lottery drawing since 1942 was held in the…

Increasingly, opponents of the war had taken to destroying their draft cards as statements of public protest. The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled in United States v. O’Brien that the destruction of a draft card reserved the furtherance of an important governmental objective that was unrelated to the stifling of unpopular speech. The decision severely reduced the burning of draft cards as a form of…

Furthermore, each year, the U.S. government only issues 65,000 new H-1B visa, which is a small portion of the total number of applicants who apply. In recent years, “USCIS instituted a “lottery” system for accepting applications because more than 65,000 regular H-1Bs were received on the first possible day of filing”. This process is entirely random, and any qualified international student can be turned down because of mere chance. The fact that the number of applicants far exceeds the number of…

money, fame, power, and praise their peers give... they're regular people. Some leaders realize this, some become self absorbed into their power. Which traits are acceptable? Which traits aren't? Not everyone agrees with some traits, it's why the United States holds an election, or vote every four years. I'm only putting in my two cents of what traits I call acceptable in a leader. What George Washington had was courage, and the will to remain loyal to his group, followers or army through the…
