Thanks to the US not wanting to separate families between nations, chain migrations were able to occur where after one family member comes to the US, his or her entire family can eventually come to the US as well. Through this process, Gurpinder Gill and Harvel Gill were able to immigrate to the US. They…

Before I went there, I searched and read about the Indian culture, specifically, the Punjabi culture, where majority of the Sikh people come from. In order for me to interact with Sikhs, observe and analyze their culture closely, I went to their temple on a Sunday morning when most of the Sikhs go to the temple. However, I discovered that the culture of Indian and the religion of Sikhism contradict each other at some points, which led the Sikhism to be a religious group that forms their own…

Punjabi Sikhs were the first South Asians to move to North America. As far back as 1670, a Sikh was mentioned in the diary of a Colonist, as having been encountered in the company of a sea captain. They were a curiosity as South Asian migration had yet to occur. In 1903, a small trickle of Punjabis arrived in North America through Canada and half traveled onto the United States. Of them, the majority were illiterate or semi-literate from farming or military backgrounds. They left minimal…

own scripture. If Sikh leaders can become receptive to this potent imagery of the importance of the female, the change in perspective can permeate the rest of the Sikh culture, and eventually, the rest of India. The inattentiveness to scripture is a widespread problem throughout many religions, and, in my opinion, it is what makes creating a global bioethics that much more difficult.

In Yona Wallach’s poem “Let Them Come” found on page sixty-six from the Collected Poems (1976), Wallach entices her readers with a poem about a woman who is having her last moments but wants her mourners to come and serve her. “Let them come and bring me foods,” this first line implies that she wants someone to serve her the last meal she will eat. The diction used and phrasing techniques lead the reader to believe that she is of importance. Specifically “let them come” as in she was okaying…

Why Positive Thinking Did Not Work for Me Many people believe positive thinking will lead a person to a perfect life; however, it is not completely true as it has its pros and cons. The reason why is because people request for things that they really want without really putting much effort into it and expect everything to fall into place. Today, society has gotten to the point where they make demands to God, and keep waiting to attain the stuff they asked or prayed for. For example, last year…

Sports can have a positive effect on society. They are one of the things that have made me the person I am today. Sports, mostly football and basketball, have shown me how to be a leader, how to stay active, how to persevere no matter how down you are , how it can help people in the community, and the ability to talk to people about the sports I love. Sports have no doubt been an influence for a long time, from ancient times to now. The leadership that comes with sports is a big deal in my…
