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).

They account for “3 percent of the nation’s 42.4 million immigrants” (“Vietnamese Immigrants in,” 2016). Interesting “their names are written in the following…

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…

3. Australia's Immigration Policy Australia is a traditional immigrant state as the country was established by British immigration since 1788. Australia is one of the fastest population growing countries in the OECD member and about 58% of the population increase is attributable to net immigrants(Hugo, 2014). Establishment of the Department of Immigration in 1945, Australia's immigration policy became government-driven(Hugo, 2014). Australia induced the influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe…

What color is love? Rora Blue, an artist, has many fascinating pieces of work; but the most famous project may have confirmed what color people imagine love to be. Almost two years ago, Blue started a project called “The Unsent Project”. The artist created an archive for people to submit texts they’d like to send to their first love. In addition to writing what they feel, people pick a color they associate with their first love. The colors people can choose for their texts range from white to…

Most immigrants…
