This paper will state the immigration issues and guest workers in the nations of Germany and The United States in the 1950’s and 1989. Explaining the situation guest workers were in and the work they were hired to do as well as the postwar refugees and expellees. The production of labor by millions of people have changed these nations and have been granted with nothing but a deportation back to their native country.

Joseph (Joe) Paul Torre was born July 18, 1940 in Brooklyn, N.Y. and “followed in his older brother Frank’s footsteps and signed with the Atlanta Braves out of high school” (N.D) in 1960.

In 1971 while playing for the St. Louis Cardinals he transitioned from…

I can list all the fact in the world based on why tattoos in the workplace are and are not accepted in the workplace, but that’s not what intrigued me into writing about tattoos. I find tattoos self portraying because not only does oneself reveal based on the art made in our bodies, but the significance it has on us and the image itself. Many people may not care or know but we all have a right to express ourselves which includes showing your tattoos. Although tattoos in the workplace are not…

If the practice of criminal justice does not live up to its rhetoric one should not look only to the interactions and negotiations of those who put the law into practice but to the law itself. One should not look just to how the rhetoric of justice is subverted intentionally or otherwise by policemen bending the rules, by lawyers negotiating adversariness out of existence, by out-of-touch judges or biased magistrates: one must also look at how it is subverted in the law. Police and court…

can be punished; however, one must identify the behaviors that constitute cheating. On June 3, 2003, Chicago Cubs’ star Sammy Sosa shattered his bat in a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Noticing something unordinary in the shattering, the umpires gathered together to examine the bat. The examination revealed that the bat was corked, and the violation of the rules resulted in the ejection of Sosa. Responding to the incident, the Cub’s team president Any MacPhail, stated that “there is a…

What is the possibility that you could sell your latest Instagram post for $100,000? I think I am a very good looking guy but not that good looking to where someone would want to purchase it for that much. Richard Prince is an American artist who is doing just that. He is taking Instagram posts and altering them a bit and selling them for thousands of dollars. Prince is a notorious copycat artist who has made a very good living off of this. Now, one might ask, how is this man copying stuff from…

People felt it was their duty to bring him down. Not just the fans that shouted racial slurs at him, but also opposing players that would throw as his head and spike him when he was sliding into a bag. Even umpires would call him out when he would beat out a throw by ten feet, just to try and show him that the white people were still the ones that owned the Major Leagues. Willie knew that whatever he did, there was no way that everyone would welcome him with…

The ball is one with the birds as it cuts through the hot summer air, towards the outfield fence. Trying as hard as it can to escape the diamond, it gets a push of momentum from a westward gust of wind. Despite the effort, the breeze was not enough as the ball rattled off the top of the fence and fell to the damp, warning track dirt. It laid there patiently waiting until the sweaty hand of a center fielder grasped the laces with three fingers and launched it back into action. Again, it was…

Just a Blur Today was the day. My dad had been talking about this all season. As we walked up to the field before warm ups I was slightly more nervous than usual. They were our rivals. We had to win to prove we were the best softball team in our town. When we got to the field there were a few girls waiting for us. I sat down next to my best friend Sabrina, whose father was also a coach. We became great friends because of softball and because our dads were harder on us than anyone else on the…
