...Immigration law should not be restricted America is not gold! Over a million immigrants come to the U.S each year (I.C.E 2007). The U.S has become an attractive zone for immigrants worldwide, and many people wonder why immigrants migrate to the U.S. People migrate to the U.S for different reasons; one of the main reasons why people migrate is family reunification (Deparle2). They don’t migrate because it has tall buildings and big cities, but because of problems back in their countries such as, lack of money, lack of freedom of religion, and because of unstable political condition. Subsequently, immigrants to the United States collaborate to the development of the nation in many ways. They do unwanted jobs and pay taxes. One reason why immigration seems so potent is that, it increased unexpectedly (Depaele3). The United State is the leading country with more immigrants. It has estimated that there are 241milliom migrants across the globe, an increase of about 37% in two decades, with many of them coming from North America (Deparle3). According to recent statistics, over a million immigrants in the United obtain legal permanent residence each year (I.C.E2007). Since the liberalization of immigration policy was passed in 1969, the number of immigrants in the country increased highly, from 9.6 million in 1970 to 38million in 2007. 1,046,539 million people were naturalized as U.S citizens 2008(I.C.E2007). The leading emigrating countries were Mexico, India and Philippines...

Since 1970s the expansion of Australia´s population and the achievement of skill profile had impacted the economic development of the country. Not only it had allowed people to live in a pacific and harmonious environment, but shaping the nation towards economic prosperity and quick progress in pro an industrialized, secure and pleasant state. Australia is named as a “country of immigrants” having one in four people born in overseas and with a great advantage: it is still sharp contrast to the chaos, intolerance and hatred that suffered a lot of countries worldwide. One big concern is the enormous amounts of capital...

Offshore humanitarian program has been divided into three main categories, named, refugee, special humanitarian and special assistance. The Refugee category for people who subject to persecution in their country of origin and who are refugees as defined by the Refugee Convention or who are perceived to be in situations of particular need.

The third category, special assistance,...

...implemented racial cleansing, while others defended immigrant rights against the ideas of pure-blood and xenophobic insanity. Actually this case has not closed yet. The majority of governments still refuse to accept immigration as a human right. Standards for immigrants are generally very poor; they do not share the equal rights of the citizens of the country. While some countries have some laws and regulations to solve this problem, generally most nations are not welcoming of immigrants. Preventing immigration because of nationalism and racism is a violation of human rights. Xenophobia is a fear of anything or anyone that is strange or unknown. Many nations’ immigration policies are based upon xenophobia, and this has come to inform policies and attitudes of nationalism. Jeong (2013) defines nationalism “as a feeling of superiority and contempt for foreigners’’ and in his study he describes the effects of national feelings on immigration. Jeong claims there is a connection between restricted immigration and high levels of nationalism. For instance, many US citizens have concerns about whether there will be anyone called “American” in the future and this is a totally white-European, nationalistic idea. America’s concern for maintaining a white, Christian population for their nation has made successive government implement restrictive anti-immigration policies. We cannot deny that the US is one of the great powers in the world and as a result, it influences many political and social...

...Essay plan Topic: the exploitation of adult workers in developed countries. I.

...goods.” Inflation is an indication of the value of money. A rise in general price means a drop in the value of money held by the society. Inflation is measured using a price index. A weighted consumer price index (CPI) measures the change in the average prices of a ’market basket’ of goods and services purchased by a typical urban household, taking into account importance of certain goods relatively to others. An increase in the CPI reflects inflation in the economy. TYPES OF INFLATION a) DEMAND-PULL INFLATION This happens when there is an excess of aggregate demand for goods and services over aggregate supply or the maximum available outputs in the economy. A high aggregate demand may be the result of an increase in government spending, a drop in taxes or a shock (sudden increase) in investment due to a drop in interest rate. The problem arises when there is an excessive money supply and the economy is moving towards or is already at full employment. The following diagram shows demand-pull inflation. Increase in the price level from P1 to P2 shows the result of an increase in aggregate demand towards full employment income. Output price rises because demand is causing high input price. Further increase in price to P2 shows an increase in aggregate demand above full employment. Here, real output has reached maximum limit. Further increase in output shown is only an increase in nominal output, which reflects an increase in prices. ...

...these immigrants came poor, with their only belongings being the clothes on their backs and little or no money. Immigration affects the United States' in a positive way, those immigrants who come here to take advantage of the opportunity they can attain will help promote a prosperous society. The national government needs to enact more effective and efficient immigration laws to help those people who want to immigrate to the United States of America. In the United States of America there are many view points on immigration as stated in the article “At Issue: Illegal Immigration” written by ProQuest Staff, some people believe that illegal immigrants should be detained and deported for flouting the law while others consider the rounding up and the deportation of illegal aliens to be a waste of the nation’s resources. These viewpoints are the result of frustration that has been brewing amongst political officials and the general public. Immigrants have been treated unfairly and unjustly since they first started coming to the United States, and many new policies were created by the government officials to help rid the nation of these persons I believe that illegal immigrants should not be treated as criminals because these immigrants both those in the past and those of whom will come in the future have a significant impact on American history. America is a nation that is built by immigrants former President Franklin D. Roosevelt once stated “Remember, remember always, that all of us...

...Mass migration to Europe and its positive and negative implications – Sharing economy Introduction The hotel industry has been strongly growing recently, overcame many events to make us believe that they will not stop adapting to the new environments. Practicing economics activities helps the industry to explain the change of the environment and plan the solutions in the most efficient way. In this report, I will state two of the most recent events which are the mass migration to Europe and also with the term sharing economy, together with its impacts to the hotel industry under economic perspective. Development Mass migration to Europe and its positive and negative implications Migration means the movement of people from one place to another place, temporary or permanent, volunteered or forced, internal or international (eschooltoday, 2014). People move for different reasons: move to work in another country, move for a better of life, escape from natural disasters or human wars, etc. 2015 was an alarming and distressing year to the world because of many wars and terrorism events happened. It has set a record for migration stage into Europe by different routes. Only talking about refugees, there were more than 1 million migrants have arrived in Europe (e.g. Germany, Austria, Sweden, Italy, UK and more) by sea and almost 35000 by land, mostly they are from the countries suffering from wars such as Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. formed a mass migration into...

...considered as one of the most successful nations in building a tolerant, inclusive, and culturally diverse society. Many people are willing to live in this land. However, the pace to this successful society is very tough. For the first 50 years of federation Australia, this country was a monocultural ‘British’ society. Most migrants came from Britain. Since the late 1940s, more people from different countries immigrate to Australia. Most of them are European migrants after World War II. This phenomenon triggered defensive reactions by the previous dominant of Anglo-Australians (Nichols, 2011). The dominant wanted to assimilate the immigrants at the first stage, but some conflicts occurred during this process. Then, the immigration policy has been changed from assimilationsm to multiculturalism. After the start of federation of Australia in 1901, the government utilized White Australia Policy to all Australians, preventing anyone to enter Australia unless they were from Britain and trying to make this country into an English-speaking, Anglo-Australian cultural one. At that time, English is the first language being spoken by above 95 per cent people in Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2002). Britain was considered as the mother country and the majority of people were willing to keep it that way. As a result, the immigration policy’s purpose was to restrict immigrants from non-white countries in the excuse from economic protection to outright racism (Gibb 1973). ...

All efforts to demolish these negative stereotypes and alter the notion that knowledge of the Kazakh language, turning it to the feature of success, freedom, perfection and professional advantages. However, the law of the Republic on Languages in Article 4 put priorities on Kazakh language as follows, ‘the state language of the Republic of Kazakhstan shall be the Kazakh language. The state language shall be the language for state management, legislation, legal proceedings and office work, functioning in all relations in the entire territory of the state. The duty of each citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan shall be mastering of the state language, being the major factor in consolidating the people of Kazakhstan.’ In reality, the minority of people in Kazakhstan socialize in Kazakh, among them rural dwellers, living in remote areas and...

...Act. DIFFICULT KNOWLEDGE Knowledge that often challenges the dominant ideology, which is difficult to accept and we reject it and its source, or we embrace it without a critical evaluation. DIASPORA Comes from the Greek term “diasperin”, Used to refer to any ethnic population forced or induced to leave their original homelands. Also people who leave their homelands to find work or search for asylum. An example of diaspora in the topics cover in the course is the high amount of Chinese population who came to Canada to work. They weren’t forced, rather they chose to start a new life in a new place. Also, during WWII, the boats of Jewish who came to Canada looking for asylum. This term have helped me gaining knowledge about the migration of different ethnic population to Canada during the 19th and 20th century. THERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVE ABOUT OBJECIVITY Objectivity means to have a neutral position in a specific topic or issue. Been objective is not possible because any ideology or thought always have a defined side or position that contradicts other.

...Immigration in the United States Calculated circa 2005, over 3% of the human population is comprised of immigrants, a term used to describe those who move to a different country for permanent residency. (Wilcox 1) For purposes varying from severe needs to wanderlust, migration levels rise each year all across the globe. Throughout the past century, the notion of immigration has been negatively perceived and become a controversial matter in the eyes of the United States law enforcement. Our country’s oppression against immigration has come to the exceedingly unethical extent where political figures like Presidential Candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo erroneously claim that “our ‘War at Home’ against illegal immigrants is more deadly than the war with Iraq”. (Sampson 2) Such prevalent negative outlooks and claims on immigration have guided a majority of our population to have inaccurate preconceptions of those who migrate into our country, wrongfully influencing our population to correlate immigration levels with higher rates of violence and crime. In this paper, I, with help from writings by authors Shelley Wilcox and Robert J. Sampson, will help disprove the stereotypes our nation puts upon immigrants, and propose ethical methods for our country’s approach on immigration laws. Firstly, the accusation that immigrants are more often affiliated in acts of crime and violence as compared to non-immigrants must be disproved. In fact, recent studies have proved this stereotype to be overwhelmingly...

...CROSSING BORDERS IN THE NEW IMPERIALISM (published in Colin Leys and Leo Panitch (eds), Socialist Register, London: Merlin, 2004) Bob Sutcliffe In words which seem uncannily relevant today, two mid-nineteenth century fugitives (in today’s language asylum seekers) wrote that “the bourgeoisie has through its exploitation of the world-market given a cosmopolitan character to production and consumption in every country”[i]. This cosmopolitanization (or in today’s vocabulary globalization) turned out to be neither as continuous nor as complete as they expected. By the beginning of the following century other emigrant followers of these two men began to argue that the full economic integration of world capitalism would be prevented by strife between the industrialized countries. Imperialism in this sense seemed to mean that globalization would be a task for post-capitalist society. This appeared to be confirmed by the following half century of war, protectionism and deep economic crisis until, in the middle of the twentieth century, cosmopolitan capitalism made its big comeback. Globalization is more than anything else the feature of today’s capitalism which leads many to argue that there is a new imperialism, or even that imperialism has been replaced by something else (for instance, by “post-imperialism” or by “Empire”). The real newness of the present is, however, debatable. In trying to discern the character of an age, it is tempting to argue that everything...
