    The development of free trade has become more controversial since the end of the Second World War due to rising openness to other countries and cultures. In terms of trade, globalization refers to 'as increasingly borderless trade that develops between countries and territories or countries and countries' (Archana, 2015). Along with the growing inter-connectedness of the world, the liberalization of trade policies has favored globalization amongst many countries and has led to an introduction of new agreements such as trade blocs in which several countries make an agreement to eliminate protectionist measures such as tariffs and quotas to facilitate the flow of goods and services. Easier transportation of goods and services across borders has reduced unnecessary costs which made the cost of goods themselves cheaper and more accessible. NAFTA is a good example of the situation where several countries agree to a partnership that makes imports and exports less costly.

Since the beginning of this issue the next generation has adopted the common fear of outsiders that don’t look and sound like others around them.

    As can be seen in documents A-H, from 1880 to 1925, immigration went from being the staple of the American culture to the common enemy of “native” Americans. In 1880 and before, immigrants were welcome to the United States with open arms, which is shown in document A with all of the foreigners flooding into the wide open gate of America. The purpose of document A was to advertise the acceptance of immigrants into the United States and all of the great things they would find when they arrived here. Document B displays that even until 1888, immigrants were viewed by the established Americans as a “double advantage”: helpful to the economy when needed and conveniently out of the way when unnecessary.
