President Trump signed an Executive Order to reinstate the governmental initiative to buy American, hire American. There is speculation as to whether this may become legislation. The legislation will prevent foreign workers with H-1B visas from obtaining work in the United States. An unnamed white house official claims that this policy will ensure pathways to success for all. Before this order, the government gave out 85,000 visas to high-skilled workers in a lottery system.

But since Trump’s election, and even the period during his campaign, it seems like American ideals have changed.

Martin L. King Jr. took place. In fact, after the assassination of Dr. Martin L. King Jr, the first civil right bill was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower since the Reconstruction. As a result, looking at the adolescent culture was an end result of the freedom of speech, the right to equality, the right to vote and many other things that has happen to this day” (MacLean, 2010). Because these changes took place during the adolescent culture of their era, Dr. King and Rosa Parks stood for the civil rights movement to ensure that this movement would continue and not be in vain. Yet, Alderman (2013), stated “Our pedagogical approach stresses the role of empathy, both as a factor in shaping the actual sociospatial development of the Movement, as well as a strategy for encouraging students to appreciate the everyday courage and sacrifice that animated so many of its
Structural Pluralism led to an America that not only accepts ethnic diversity but celebrates it and Ellis Island’s funds to be opened as a museum would not have been feasible otherwise. Generation by generation, Jacobson discussed how the diversification of America moved from literature to film and straight into America’s homes. Whether people of that time would have claimed such access desensitized the future generations to inter-ethnic/racial relations is extremely interesting to

In January 1934 Huey would create a Share Our Wealth Society which would promote the redistribution of wealth among American citizens.

The reason why I’m serving currently as a core member at City Year is because I believe that in order to change the world, you have to start from home.
