...There were many atitudes and policies that affected the way that immigrants from Asia were treated. One attitude twords them was the disaimful people in the US, especisally the officers at Angle Island. The interrogation twords the immigrants was constant, which would make them feel violated and uncomfortable. Also, within the US they were very poorly treated, native US citizens did not like them because they thought they might steal their jobs, and they wanted them gone, so they would constantly be very rude and disrespectful to them, just because of their ethnicity. The text states, "Some Americans expressed concern that immigrants would take jobs from native-born citizens; others harbored prejudices against people from other countries." The text also states, "Island officials did not make the immigrants feel welcome...They were subjected to medical exams and...

...of this film is that Denham wanted to publish a wonderful film so they went on an oceangoing voyage and found an island which is far away from American’s center New York. On that island they found black people, this implies that black people are not identical to white people, they were forced to live an island far away from cities which is backward and difficult to find. This shows the racial segregation between white and black people. At 30:31 a scene that was showed straight and ----angle , the angle gave the whole condition of which way black people were gathered and what kind of house they lived in, also how they wore was shown at the same time. At 31:00 a medium shot was given to the chief of aborigine, he’s upper part of the body was naked and his face was cover by white and black colors this gives a huge contrast with white people. White people wore shirts and dress while black people wore grass skirt and naked upper part of body no matter they were men or women. At 34:30 a straight angle recorded black people held with spear and shield while Denham said “Get ready the rifle”. This shows that white people are catching the pace of technology but black people are still live in a barbaric era. The simple comparison leads a huge difference of lifestyle and living condition of black and white people. In addition, I was impressed with a special sentence said by the chief of aborigine at 35:06 and translated by captain ‘He said he wanted to use 6 women to exchange Ann as a present...

...Because the strong restriction on Chinese people and less resources to support the immigration of Peter's family, Peter was the only one who migrated to America for work. According to Peter said, he migrated to America through the boat and the inside condition of the boat was really bad. For instance, many rats existed and ran around inside the boat. Also, immigrants usually made bowel movement inside the boat. Therefore, it was very dirty and smelly inside the boat. Most importantly, some immigrants got sick or even died by the bad condition because they needed to stay with the boat for a long trip to America. When Peter arrived in America, he was relocated to Angle Island first. Angle Island was the largest island in the San Francisco Bay and used as a quarantine station for boats or...

...series of disagreements in the way that films represent the indigenous people of America. Indigenous people in this sense are the Indians, who are sometimes misunderstood as the foreigners. When talking about foreigners, it is the Europeans who invaded and settled in America, not the Indians. But, on many occasions this is not the case, as many of the European settlers consider themselves as the indigenous people of America (Howells and Negreiros 27). These concepts have been shown in films, where the battle for what might appear as ownership is evident. There are many films that are about the indigenous people of America, among which are Smoke Signals and Fast Runner. The films try to demonstrate and oppose the stereotypes that people have for the indigenous people of America (Knopf 193). Comparing the movies, one can see the employment of cinematic applications such as sounds and shots, editing, angle, camera movement, framing, music, and lighting, and then see how they relate or contrast. All the same, the films are...

...using Greek terms: kalos, eidos, and scopos—which when combined means the beautiful form watcher. The first kaleidoscope was made using old pieces of colored glass and other shiny objects, which are reflected by angled mirrors or glass lenses ultimately creating a pattern that can be viewed at the end of the tube. As time progressed, an American innovationist, Charles Bush took the kaleidoscope improved it immensely and turned it into a popular trend. He obtained patents for these improvements in 1873 and 1874, which were related to the further development of kaleidoscopes, kaleidoscope boxes, objects for kaleidoscopes, and kaleidoscope stands. Charles Bush, thus, became the first man to mass-produce kaleidoscopes in the United States of America. A kaleidoscope is a creation of many wonders but many people, such as my 5-year-old self, wonder how it works. Well, it’s easy! Every kaleidoscope should have four primary elements: the eyepiece, the body, the mirror system, and the chamber. Each of these elements plays a specific role. The eyepiece...

...Captain America: Civil War Submitted to: Ms. Abigail Deabanico Submitted by: Jan Michael Eli SM. Bautista (1 Microbiology) Submitted On: May 2, 2016 Captain America: Civil War (April 2016) Following the events of the previous film in the Marvel Franchise, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War was released in April 27, 2016. The film’s events come directly after what happened in the second avengers movie: the Avengers has lost the faith of the public due to their otherwise ‘heroic’ actions that consequently puts the lives of the innocent in jeopardy. Another factor that instigates this is the mission Steve Rogers or Captain America (Chris Evans), Sam Wilson (Anthonie Mackie), Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) in Lagos, Nigeria. They were trying to stop the then-turncoat security official, Crossbones (Frank Grillo), from obtaining a biological weapon. In the fight, he planned on committing suicide, in order to take down Captain America with him. However, Wanda notices this and decides to contain the explosion (and Crossbones) within a container formed from her psyche powers and sends it upward, detonating it. Unfortunately, she sends it near a commercial building, and the explosion kills innocents. Following this disaster, the United Nations decided to make the Sokovia Accords, where in the Avengers will be placed under a governing body. This divides the Avengers, with one side supporting the Sokovia Accord with Tony Stark (Robert...

...one that has become very prevalent in the past few years is the matter of slavery reparations in America. Advocates of this cause have begun to raise awareness in an effort to make reparations to African Americans affected by the crime of slavery in the United States. This is an extremely controversial subject, especially since there are so many different considerations and opinions surrounding the issue. Anthony Gifford’s article, “The Legal Basis of the Claim for Slavery Reparations”, Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “The Case for Reparations”, and chapter nine of Michael Sandel’s book, Justice: What’s The Right Thing To Do? all dig deeper into this issue and take a look at the idea of slavery reparations from various different angles. One of the big questions to reflect on while considering the possibility of slavery reparations in America is: What can be done in order to begin resolving the issue of slavery reparations? The...

...the United States of America accomplished a colossal feat that astonished the world. After years of trial and error the United States of America was able to beat all odds and all other countries in putting a man on the Earth’s moon, two men to be exact. Neil Alden Armstrong, the first man to lay his feet on the moon’s surface and Edwin Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. who shortly followed became symbols of America’s self-proclaimed superiority. The controversy of this topic lies in many questions. What events took place that led up to the moon landing? Who was involved? How and why did we put a man on the moon and be the first? History itself can give us these answers but there is also one question that seems to still have people talking to this day and that is, did it really even happen or could it possibly be the United States of America’s greatest hoax? The Cold War began approximately in 1945 at the end of World War II. The United States, Great Britain and some other allied counties decided they wanted to contain communism in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) and China. Although the United States of America and these communist enemies did not get in any physical battles during this war there was definitely a lot of unspoken threats and the flexing of muscles between the two super powers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. One of the two biggest contests or “races” between the two countries began when the United States of America found out that the Soviet...

...The Anglo-Saxon time period is one of the most significant eras in all of history. After four centuries of near European domination, the Roman Empire fell in AD 410. With this came the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon time period, or the Dark Ages, which would last until the year 1066. The historical events which occurred within the six centuries of the Anglo-Saxon rule made phenomenal marks on America, Britain, and the world as we know it. Before the time of the Angles and the Saxons, and even before the Romans, Britain had already been occupied for one thousand years or more. Its inhabitants came from a variety of different places and were known by a variety of different names. Collectively, however, these peoples called themselves the Britons,...
