...The Mexican American group discussed the pros and cons of ratifying the Mexican Dream Act, which the issues of young people who graduated from our high schools and grew up in the United States but whose future is in jeopardy by current immigration laws. Their presentations raised several questions for me, ones especially involving these immigrant parents. I was wondering that when these children apply would it jeopardize the safety of their parents. For instance, is the address that they put down on paper confidential or will be used to track the location of their parents? If this and other similar examples were the case, then that would deter many in fear of losing their family. Their parents may also be unwilling to help their children in fear of jeopardizing their hidden status. Although I have been interested in researching the gaps in higher education of Latinos, in particular Mexican-Americans versus Cubans, this was the first time hearing of the DREAM Act. Even though my research paper involves second-generation immigrant children, I feel that the dream act would force some education reforms in the United States. Otherwise, as they said in the presentation, the US will fall behind other countries due to a significant part our population not attending higher levels of education...

...esearch paper topic: The Role Of Women In Julius Ceasar - 862 words The Role Of Women In Julius Ceasar In the play "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare, women play an important role. The women are important factors in foreshadowing and in the development of many of the characters. To look at the role of women in the play we must look deeper in to the roles of the only two women in the play; Calpurnia, wife of Caesar, and Portia, wife of Brutus. Both of these women are key in foreshadowing the murder of Caesar. After Caesar's murder we do not hear much of either of them. The main thing Caesar's wife, Calpurnia does in the play is tell Caesar to stay at home on the day of his murder because of many unnatural events that have taken place the night before and because she has had nightmares about his assassination. On the morning of the ides of march is the first time we meet Calpurnia, her entrance is act 2 scene one when she tells Caesar "You shall not stir out of your house today." Caesar decides he shall "forth" until Calpurnia tells him why he shouldn't go to the capitol today. Some of the reasons she included were: A lioness "whelped" in the streets. Graves opened and showed their dead people. Warriors of fire fought on the clouds and drizzled blood upon the capitol. Horses neighed and dead men groaned. Ghosts shrieked in the streets. She than showed her discomfort with these things by saying "O Caesar, these things are beyond all use, / and I do fear them." Caesar...

...Colton Dahlem Professor Jordan English 110/1522 December 5, 2012 Rough Draft Legal is the New Illegal What do you think of when you read ‘Immigration’? My thought of the definition of immigration is that people of other countries wanting a better life for themselves and/or their family and they think they can find that certain life in the United States. All they have to do is fill out paper work and pay fees that they can later pay off because they will have jobs because they became a US citizen. Some immigrants do not quite understand that concept and that is where we get the problem of illegal immigration. It is great that they want better lives but when they do it illegally is where they literally cross the line. Illegal immigration comes with certain causes, problems, and solutions. It is not easy to determine that causes of illegal immigration but according to the article “Illegal Immigration”, there are two main factors that make immigrants have the desire to join the United States. The first major factor is the “push” factor, which involves the pressures encouraging emigration in countries of origin. There are also four sub-factors that give those immigrants the actual push. The first is the professional factor that deals with jobs, money, and certain opportunities that the United States offer that their home does not. Second is the political factor, which is their opinion on our government vs. their government. The security factor is the third, which involves...

...Chicano 10B 22 August 2014 The Struggles of Undocumented Students What is the dream of an Undocumented Student? The dream of an undocumented student is to pursue the American Dream of becoming someone professional and having the opportunity to help their family back in their country. What are the reasons that the government does not want undocumented students to continue pursuing an education after they graduate from High School? The government does not focus on what undocumented students dream of becoming in the future. What they do focus on are the jobs they are taking from our country. Undocumented students are being denied the privilege of attending college because they are unaware of their rights to attend college. Every year, there are many undocumented students from different countries migrating to the United States. They migrate from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala in search for a better life. However, once they arrive to the United States they are faced with many obstacles that they did not know existed. Many undocumented students graduate from high schools, but only a few get the opportunity to pursue the American Dream because they do not have the right documentations. I believe the government should give undocumented student a visa in order for them to pursue their dreams. Chicanos and Latinos students are being affected by this situation because most of them end up going back to their countries. Other students end up working in low wage jobs for example...

...in the workplace by people who have no respect for others. Regardless of the discrimination prohibition act. In 2006, a family member was involved in a workplace discrimination assault. The event was harassment and constantly called the N-word. The place of employment was on an outside construction site. All employees involved were from a local union hired by a construction organization. The environment became a safety hazard as the crew continues their harassment and threats to terminate the family member. Once he became fed up with the foolishness, he contacted his supervisor and the local union for support the union advised him to seek help from the state. The Federal and State legislations are important for individual’s protection in the workplace. The federal government and the states have legislation laws in place as the eyes and ears for the employees’ protection. The state of California has laws such as the Fair Employment and Housing Act. The act is in place to enforce the civil rights laws. Their mission is to protect the people of California from unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations and also from hate violence.

...The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States in which freedom includes the promise of prosperity and success. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Yet, it is still legal in 29 states to be fired for just being gay. In 33 of the 50 states of the United States of America, one can be fired for being transgendered. These states do not have legal protections for members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community (Solmonese, 2009). So does the “American Dream” only apply to “first class citizens”? This paper explores if the Employee Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) would protect employment decisions, which should be based upon a person's qualifications and job performance, not sexual orientation or gender identity (Solmonese, 2009). For over 50 years when there has been a case of an American being denied employment or promotions for reasons that were unrelated to their skills in the workplace, Congress responded by passing laws which were aimed at designing a system...

... 1991 The Effects of Dream Length on the Relationship Between Primary Process in Dreams and Creativity Glenn Livingston l and Ross Levin l ,2 The effects of dream length on the relationship between primaty process in dreams and a measure of creativity unconfounded by IQ was investigated in a sample of 93 graduate students using the Auld, Goldenberg, & Weiss (1968) Scale of Primary Process Thought (SPPT) and a modified Wallach-Kogan (1965) creativity batte/yo Consistent with previous research, total and mean primary process were found to correlate significantly with creativity (r = .28, P < .01 and r = .23, P < .05, respectively). Both significant relationships disappeared, however, once the effects of dream length were partialled out, confirming Wood, Sebba, & Domino's (1989-90) contention that this relationship may be artifactual. It is suggested that dream length as an individual difference in and of itself may thus be a more fruitful variable to examine in future research investigating the relationship between creativity and dreams. KEY WORDS: dreaming; dream length; primary process; creativity. The contention that creativity and dreaming may reflect similar psychological processes has long been maintained by both the lay public and philosophers alike. In support of this, both the anecdotal and empirical psychological literature contain numerous references suggesting both a direct and analogical relationship between dreams and creativity (Adelson,...

Introduction The article “Are vulnerable workers really protected in New Zealand?” is written by two authors namely, Danae Anderson, researcher at Work research Institute, Auckland University of Technology, NZ and Rupert Tipples, Associate Professor of Employment Relations in Faculty of Commerce at Lincoln University, Christchurch, New Zealand and is published in New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations, 39 (1): 52-67. This article is concentrated on exploring the working condition of international migrant workers and pacific workers in primary sectors and are categorised as vulnerable migrants using Sargeant and Tucker’s 2009 framework. The writers have claimed that though protective measures have been adopted to defend the vulnerability of the workers, the result is still speech making only. The article has clearly identified the research topic and used secondary sources of the information to address the research questions. The article has been successful in raising the concerns of vulnerable workers in primary sectors such as exploitation at work, underpayment, employment dependency, visa conditions, lacking of formal written contracts for employment likewise, the article has been able to pull the attention of the concerned authorities to work and rethink to promulgate the protective...
