Grant's Letter To An Immigrant

For one to be generous, the person would need to demonstrate that they can give, without giving too much, or too little. A generous person is able to perform a balance between extravagance and stinginess and is able to give it to the right group of people. Sanders is generous in his ability to provide support and strategic political plans for marginalized and oppressed groups of people. For example, immigrants are often attacked by politicians. Southern Poverty Law centered stated that immigrant workers are, “routinely cheated out of wages, held virtually captive by employers who seize their documents, forced to live in inhumane conditions and denied medical treatment for on-the-job injuries.”

DACA has gave many opportunities to many dreamers in the world and taking that back when every congress feels the need to do so is not okay for the lives of these people. DACA and dreamers have shown to be loyal and good to this country despite the hate and mistreatment the DACA controversy has created and boosted the economy due to hard work. Republicans hate and lack of ability to work with the rest of congress only shows that DACA is just a meaningless immigration act. DACA has been used as a scapegoat to blame for social problems like "chain-migration" which is also a socially constructed concept created by Americans, for them to believe it is okay to forcefully and cruelly getting rid of dreamers. DACA is a positive and economy booster to America therefor it should stay to continue to allow dreamers to open opportunities for

What sweatshop usually means is that the workers have to work with less skill-intensive, but tough and dangerous jobs, like coco beans cultivation and sewing under poor working environments, but they finally receive extremely low wage, just slightly above the poverty line of the poor countries. Most sweatshops are formed by the profit-oriented multinational firms which would like to maximize productivity as much as possible, so there many job opportunities for the labor in the poor countries. In short-term, that would fight poverty as there would still be income guaranteed for the poor workers. However, as the reality behind the sweatshops becomes notorious, sweatshop critics who fight against the existence of sweatshops stand out, forcing some FDIs to flow out of the poor countries. Take Nike as an example.

This showed how crazy and unheard of that something different- Kira- survived and was still living after her trial (51). It also helped develop the conflict because this divided community where the rich and the poor were clearly sorted, helped Kira meet Jo because if they didn’t live in the Council Edifice, Thomas would never had heard her cry (119, 123). Likewise, the timing of the story was right because at one point in America, only the rich had running water and the poor still had to get water from outside. This book is set at a time similar to that time, although the location is different.

Mistaking Poverty Throughout the text, “Changing the Face of Poverty,” Diana George is certainly precise when claiming that the common representations of poverty limit our understanding of it. She expresses that most of our knowledge of poverty becomes misinterpreted due to advertisements, media, and images. Consequently, the way that we look at poverty focuses around that in which is in third-world countries, but poverty can be anywhere, even in your backyard. American citizens are the audience for the text, because Americans typically portray as being wealthy, happy people who are oblivious to the poverty-stricken areas surrounding them.

They came to America for a better life, to become educated and learn many things to take back home to their country. However, it seems that all they do is work and with no potential of advancement. These many difficulties faced while in the U.S. evoked mixed emotions. Even though they have encountered all these hardships, America is still not as bad as Sudan in that they now have cars to drive, constant supply of food and very nice clothes. But as Santino correctly brings, every place has its downfalls hence there seems to be no heaven on earth.

Numerous people suspect that Mexicans are criminals and ruthless people, but honestly bad people come in different colors, sizes, and cultures. Like all people around the world no matter if you’re big or small, we are identical by being people with the same mentality in becoming someone in life who you can be proud of. Immigrants come to America to search for a better future for their kids and families. People believe that the only people who cross the border are Mexicans, but what makes this country so beautiful and rich is the fact that many cultures and different people around the world come here for a better life.

During the great depression (time era of poem), a lot of people were deprived of food and those who would prosper were lucky enough to be living without suffering. In A Miracle for Breakfast, the author is successfully able to show how fortunate people with money were compared to those who do not have any money. And those who did not have money were not appreciative of it but took it for granted (perspective of an indigent person). In Filling station, the author shows how someone who is more affluent than the employees at the station isn’t appreciative in the beginning, but becomes appreciative at the end acknowledging their work ethic. So eventually, the sun will eventually shine on the right

I think at one point, we have all fallen victim to believing that someone who doesn’t have everything that we do in the United States is clearly suffering and needs to be helped out by us, the well-off Americans who are often capable of giving it to them. Many people, when asked to describe the lives of people living in Latin America would immediately go to the words poor or sad or dismal. Most people would never realize that many of their lives are described in the same way we would describe our own- joyous, exciting, adventurous or emotional. Despite their often clear material hardships, living in poverty does not equate with sadness or dejection. They may be poor in items, but they are often rich in culture, religion, family and happiness.

Today sweatshops are found in developing countries, where they still continue to practice woman and child labor. Developing countries refer to countries where most of its people are poor and living in dire poverty, whereas developed countries refer to more economically advanced countries where most of its people are more well off (America). Workers in the past and today are often subjected to terrible and harsh working conditions where they are often denied their most basic rights as a worker. In reality, the damage that has been inflicted on the American trading system cannot be changed but can be improved. In theory, many Americans may fear including enforceable labor standards in trade agreements.

There is a quotation in the book that does an excellent job describing the proletarian class, “The poor certainly helped the poor. Many kindly families little better off than most came to the aid of neighbours in need without thought of reward, here or hereafter. They were the salt of the earth” . The reason for this is because it is true that people of a lower class are often willing to help one another out because they personally know how difficult and hard it is to live on nothing. An example of this from the book is how storeowners are willing to put their customers on credit based solely on trust.

In America, oppression has almost completely been suppressed. Our country’s forefathers have put forth much effort to obtain this for their “land of the free.” Some have even lost their lives in an effort to eliminate oppression, yet it still exists. In the article I picked, the “pay gap” is discussed.

A mass body of people pointed out what they liked and disliked. Throughout history, one can clearly see change is made through citizen’s inputs that eventually makes an impact on the quality of life. During the Progressive Era, America was portrayed as the “best country” in the world. However, no one bothered to bring up the fact that one out of three people were starving to death or only six out of ten children were attending school due to financial instability in American households. The government was well aware of the poverty issues but they did not make an effort to help the people.

The growing gaps in wealth (inequality), the lack of social mobility and opportunity, and the disappearing middle class all contribute to this phenomenon, the vanishing American Dream. Fortunately, I managed to earn above the household median income, 56,516, hold a steady job with good benefits, and live in affordable, comfortable home (my salary $66,020). The luxuries afforded to me do not hold true for all Americans, and unfortunately, the inequality of opportunity remains a troubling social ill for the American people. As an adult, one is part of a bigger system, the marketplace, and makes economic decisions which influence their own lives and society as a whole.

Ulysses S. Grant, 1861-1863 The paper conducts a chronological examination of the impact operational education and experience had towards the rise of U.S. Grant as an operational commander, focusing on involvement during the initial two years of the American Civil War in the Western (Mississippi) Theater. The origins of Union Strategy, and Grant's evolution as an operational commander, is seen through operational experiences in early Civil War battles at Belmont, Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg. Discussion cites the complementary nature of a firm moral foundation towards credibility as an operational leader and commander, highlighting experience as a key in the commander's education in balancing the operational factors of time,
