The United States was built on the backs of immigrants, pilgrims, and refugees. Innovation generates great new ideas as thoughts come together. From the industrialization of steel to the invention of the light bulb and telephone, immigrants welcomed into the United States have improved the infrastructure and lives of all Americans. Currently, the Islamic State and civil war are displacing twelve million families from their homes. These people flee into the wilderness in mass travelling as…

This can be seen in the location of houses in Toronto, and in a smaller community such as the Ryerson campus. Traveling from the suburbs to the urbanized heart of Toronto, the change of architecture was noticeable. In the suburbs there are many multi-story houses, in residential neighborhoods. But when…

Marginality of American Asians In the United States, Asians encompass 6% of the total population. There are now 17.3 million Asian Americans, up from 6.9 million in 1990, in the United States. Asian Americans are currently the fastest growing population in America (Census data, n.d.). The rise of Asian Americans really tweaked my interest in Asian Culture. Asian culture is one that I have very little knowledge. In my teaching experiences, there have been very few Asian Americans in my…

Homogamy, defined as the similarity between partners, plays an important role in the gene pool, the distribution of resources, and the social relations in communities.

They found little support for decreasing…

I would like to open our eyes to the Vietnamese culture. The population of Vietnamese immigrants in the united states has been consistently growing over the last 25 years (“Vietnamese Immigrants in,” 2016).

wasn’t until the 1970s when you first started to see the hispanic community move in along with asians, and black people. By the 1990s the hispanic population jumped to 17,000, and the asian community jumped to 1,000. While the white population was starting to decline slowly, since the 1930 where the white population was at 60,000 by the 1990s the white population was at 37,000. By 2000…

shame that poverty leads to, many mouths will go hungry tonight and will continue to do so for an unknown period of time. Knowing hunger is not defined by a stable period of time but can be considered a dynamic factor in a majority of the world's population. How can you still believe that the answer to eradicating hunger exists? The answer lies in the power that derives from individual choice. When we exercise the power of individual choice, a foundation for behavior is established for policy to…

In Edin and Schaefer’s $2 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America book, they use the first chapter “Welfare is Dead” to talk about the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. The AFDC was a sixty-year-old program that provided cash assistance to families with children, implemented up until 1996 when it was replaced with the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. The program first began in 1935 during the midst of the Great Depression. Back then, people had…

(2012) and Alzheimer’s Association (2013) predict that the global population affected by dementia might increase by 79.8 million people over nearly 40 years from 2011 (Cheung et al., 2015). In Vietnam, the population is expected to enter the aging phase with ten percent of older adults aged 60 and over in the country in 2017 at a much faster pace than other countries, such as Sweden, Japan, and Thailand (United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Vietnam, 2010, 2011). Notably, dementia has been…
