...Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, many The Germans immigrated from Germany to the United States. One main reason why Germans immigrated to the U.S. was for religious freedom. Many Germans also wanted a more advanced safety, environment such as a better military to protect them in the United States. Hitler was the cause of safety issues. He persecuted many people for their religious beliefs. Germans immigrated to the United States to gain religious freedom, a safer environment, and freedom for their country. Many people emigrated from their homelands to settle in the United States for many different reasons. One reason why immigrants planned to settle in the U.S. was because of newer technology being created. Many inventions were designed and created during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, such as the telephone, and the light bulb. Another reason why immigrants planned to settle in the United States was because of the great democracy that was there. The U.S. is proven to have the best democracy in the world, according to New World Encyclopedia. One major reason why people immigrated to the Unites States was because of the new job opportunities the country had to offer. Many new jobs were opening in the U.S. that gave immigrants the chance to work and earn money. The U.S. was the place to be back in the eighteenth and nineteenth century....

...Immigration in the United States: Past, Present and Future Immigration and the United States of America go hand in hand ever since it was first discovered by Christopher Columbus. It is a great nation built on and built by immigrants. There were many waves of immigration we can speak of in America, and all of them required a different approach from the government to handle. In the following research paper. In this research paper, I will attempt to demonstrate how immigration in the United States of America came to be what it is today, by taking a look at its overall, concise, immigration history from the colonial times until today, as well as the various state and federal legislations that were implemented with regards to immigration, whether...

... Term paper for “International Culture Management” Winter Semester 2012 Introduction This paper is divided into three parts. The first section of the paper reports about the personal experience of different cultural backgrounds from the perspective of turkish and German people. It refers to the different cognition of both parties during the first migration wave. Further it deals with the issues of integration into German society and the failure which caused isolation into turkish community districts like Koeln-Mühlheim. Today, Turks represent about 4-5% of Germany’s total population. What does the word “guest workers” exactly mean? A guest worker is defined as “An individual with special permission to work on a temporary basis in another country when a shortage of labor is an issue” (Business dictionary, 2012). Everything started when the recruiting agreement was signed on the 31th of October in 1961 by Turkey and Germany. By this time, Germany faced the highest demand on labour in history. The ”economic miracle”, the rapid reconstruction and development of the economy of West Germany after World War II, lead to the highest demand on the labour market in german history. To the same time Turkey suffered under mass unemployment and a constant growth in population. The recruiting agreement between Turkey and Germany was the start for a large-scale immigration of guestworkers. The requirements for acceptance were a passed health check proofed by german doctors...

...Research Paper Notes Many immigrants flock to prosperous nations such as the United States in search of a better life. Millions of immigrants come to the U.S. without following the proper immigration laws. The immigrants either immigrate illegally by crossing the borders or they enter legally but overstay their visas. Because of illegal immigration and the amount of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. we are in desperate need of Immigration Reform, not to deport them but to make them citizens. To become a citizen they must pay a fine and learn how to speak English. The following are some of the ideas of Immigration Reform: Border Protection: Increase border protection by adding more border agents, fencing, vehicle barriers, and...

...Right The 2008 Austrian Parliamentary elections followed an increasingly familiar pattern. Two far right political parties received a combined 29.1% of the votes which translated to 52 seats of the 183 seat legislature, only 30,000 votes away from the leading party. For the past twenty years the Freedom Party of Austria (FPO) has become one of Austria’s most influential, and controversial, political parties. Its strong anti-immigration stance, xenophobic rhetoric, and suspected anti-Semitism have garnered international attention since its creation. Even though this right-wing populism phenomenon of Austria has become one of many cases in Europe, the sheer scale of FPO involvement in the country makes it a unique study. Ruud Koopmans explored the emergence of the extreme right in an attempt to define the causes of it. He compared two contrasting theories in his analysis. Grievance, demand side, theories suggest that growing rightist populism is a direct result of an increasing discontent and xenophobia within a country due to immigration and the consequences of it. Opportunity, supply side, theories focus on the institutional attributes of a particular polity, and how these arrangements make it possible for the right-wing movement to not only start, but flourish as well. He concluded that opportunity theories best explain the rightist movement. However, others believe that one cannot exist without the other; supply-side is tandem to demand-side. Wouter can der...

...take with them the fraction of value of their training sponsored by the government or other organizations. It is a parallel of capital flight, which refers to the same movement of financial capital. Brain drain is often associated with de-skilling of emigrants in their country of destination, while their country of emigration experiences the draining of skilled individuals. The term brain drain was coined by the Royal Society to describe the emigration of "scientists and technologists" to North America from post-war Europe. Another source indicates that this term was first used in the United Kingdom to describe the influx of Indian scientist and engineers. The converse phenomenon is "brain gain", which occurs when there is a large-scale immigration of technically qualified persons. There are also relevant phrases called "brain...

...Maloney ENG 122 English Compositions II Leonid Chernyak April 27, 2012 English as an Official Language of the United States The United States of America is almost 236 years old yet we do not have an official language. Should we designate an official language for our nation? The US is traditionally thought of as an English speaking country and our official language should reflect that tradition. When we think of Japan, we do not think the citizens will be speaking Russian. When we think about Germany, it is normal to think the German people will speak German. This issue has created a split in the public opinion; however, this researcher believes that the country will benefit by designating an official language. There are many views on this topic by both US citizens and illegal immigrants. The implications of making a decision to designate a language are far reaching for individual states and the nation as a whole. This research paper will cover the financial aspects of declaring an official language, the choice of what language should be the official language of the US, and the history of designating a language for the United States. This researcher discovered that because we do not have an officially designated language, there are many problems for this country. This country is made up of many people from many cultures that immigrate to it. These cultures speak many different languages, but per the latest census information obtained from American Community Survey...

...conduct a Cultural Analysis of the country to research important cultural aspects that could influence our Marketing, Operational, Financial and HR/Organizational plans The methodology we employed was to assess the following cultural characteristics: Material Culture Technology. Germany's achievements in science and technology have been significant. Germany has been the home of some of the most prominent researchers in various scientific disciplines, notably physics, mathematics, chemistry and engineering. For most of the 20th century, Germany had more Nobel Prizes in the sciences (physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine) than any other nation. Scientific research in the country is supported by industry, by the network of German universities and by scientific state institutions such as the Max Planck Society and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. The raw output of scientific research from Germany consistently ranks among the world's best. Germany’s greatest strength is its automobile industry. German carmakers focus on computer-based assistance systems that could make driving safer and more comfortable. | Economics. Since the late nineteenth century, the German economy has been shaped by industrial production, international trade, and the rise of consumer culture. Consequently, the number of people involved in agricultural production has steadily declined. At the end of the twentieth century, only 2.7 percent of the German workforce was involved in agriculture, forestry...

We will then go on to discuss a (lively) overview of contemporary Western Europe by longtime reporter and commentator T. R. Reid. Next, we will explore political institutions, processes, behavior and policy in three major Western European countries, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Four times, spaced throughout the semester, I will offer brief factual comparisons of Western Europe and the United States in important areas, including public policy, the economy, education, social policy, and moral issues. If time permits, the course will conclude with a brief examination of the institutions and policies of the European Union, a regional organization linking twenty-eight European countries. In an effort to enliven our discussion, at the beginning of most classes I will introduce an unusual fact, song or comedy sketch that in some way deals with Western Europe, with a particular focus on the smaller European countries.

...This paper presents a model of second language acquisition based on the social‐psychology of acculturation. The model maintains that certain social and psychological variables cluster into a single variable, acculturation. The model predicts that learners will acquire the target language to the degree they acculturate to the target language group. Six studies that, in various, ways seek to test the Acculturation Model are reviewed and evaluated. Technical problems that affect such research are discussed, and the current status of the model is assessed. The extent to which form-focused instruction contributes to the acquisition of second language implicit knowledge is controversial. Whereas Krashen (1993) has argued that the effects of FFI on acquisition are peripheral, N. Ellis (this issue) sees FFI as facilitative and even necessary for developing implicit L2 knowledge. This article examines the role of FFI in developing implicit knowledge by reviewing 11 studies that have examined the effect of FFI on learners' free production. The review suggests that FFI can contribute to the acquisition of implicit knowledge and points to two variables that appear to influence its success—the choice of the target structure and the extent of the instruction. FFI involving extensive instruction directed at “simple” structures was more likely to succeed. However, limited instruction directed at complex structures also proved effective, provided that the target structures are readily available...

Starting from single scenarios for fertility, mortality and economic activity, three sets of assumptions are explored regarding migration flows, taking into account probable policy developments in Europe following the enlargement of the EU. In addition to age structures, various support ratio indicators are analysed. The results indicate that plausible immigration cannot offset the negative effects of population and labour force ageing.

...Until 1970s Germany recruited unskilled labor to fill shortages and vacancies in manufacturing (Sassen 1999). Workers stayed and more came in until 1973 during the oil embargo. All along, Germany had no immigration policy. However, various relevant administrations pursued to maintain German identity and cohesion of society through cultural conservatism (Martin 1994). The immigration policy was formulated in 1980 under the coalition government (The Greens) which favored reforms to facilitate entry of those seeking asylum and address integration particularly with regard to Turk immigrants. During this time, Germany regarded the Dutch model of integration as a viable approach to formulating its immigration policy. France, on the other hand instituted immigration policies in 1945. The policy remained unchanged until the economic downturn of 1974. The policy provided that no foreigner would migrate to the country due to economic crisis in their homeland (Lesaout and Kadri 2002). There were various changes through time that allowed asylum seekers to enter France later but the treatment of Muslim asylum seekers remained unchanged. When President Mitterrand complained of runaway immigration in the country (Hollifield 2004), there were still few Muslims entering the country due to strict regulations concerning their religious practices while in...
