...Theodore Roethke was raised by middle class, immigrant parents who valued the idea of work, and manual labor. Though Roethke was brought up with the idea that manual labor was the key to success, he valued education, literature, and the skill of writing as the true, key to success. Roethke acquired this skill of writing during his Highschool career and later came to the conclusions that teaching, and writing was the career path that would suit him best.

...still, I still want to try it and see how can I do to get through my difficulties for a semester 3. I think I can have a good grade if I put lots of effort on it and spend more time to read. May be I will get success to understand all the meanings that the authors want to send to the audience and write my own story about life. 4. When the American people migrated to this country in search of a better life, there was a craving for freedom and realization. For the immigrant in American history, the American Dream meant just a better life, but that better life did not only mean a better life with material goods, although that was part of it. A better life also meant freedom to worship, not the one your king commanded you to attend. It meant freedom to liberty from having soldiers coming into your town in the middle of the night and demanding you give them accommodations and equipment from your own personal belongings. Most of the effects we see in the Bill of Rights, Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” Speech or Declaration of Independence were components of what the American Dream meant to...

...having one of the highest turnouts of students to attend medical school after graduation. Given her potential, she could have been one of the leading scientists working towards developing a cure for cancer or on other work that would advance society. She could be all these wonderful things if she was able to accept this offer but unfortunately, she is barred from pursuing higher education because like the 1.2 million students all over the country, she is an illegal citizen. Most of the time, these children are not here by choice but because their parents brought them to the United States at a young age; it is cruel to punish these students for acts their parents committed. Furthermore, situations aforementioned can be mutually beneficial as students like Grecia would benefit as a person from gaining a higher education and the opportunities available during and after this pursuit while society would be able to enjoy the fruits of her labor as well as the taxes she would generate, to name a few. Therefore, in order to support those 1.2 million smart illegal students to continue their pursuit for higher education, a proposal was brought to the senate in 2001 called the DREAM act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors). The purpose of this act is to allow illegal aliens to receive a green card which would allow them the benefits reserved for a U.S citizen. This act will grant many illegal immigrants in-state college tuition as well as financial aid in order to fulfill their...

...Teddy had grown up as a New Yorker but had left the city to go to the North Dakota Badlands to embrace his ironic love of hunting. His experience at the Badlands, “took the snob out of him,” and uprooted his love for nature, leading him to form an opinion on future environmental policies. At the Badlands, he had witnessed bad practices of game hunting and overgrazing of land which led to his hatred for the actions people took when extracting the Earth’s natural resources. During a speech at the conference on the Conservation of Natural Resources on May 13th, 1908, Roosevelt said, “We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas is exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation.” This statement was the basis of his opinion on what would happen if Americans continued to use resources at the rate they were. The idea of the depletion of natural resources that we need in order to survive was the motivation he used to fix the issue. When Teddy started his term as...

...* Remedial Education * print Print * document PDF * list Cite * link Link This article reviews the need for remedial education, and why it has yielded limited results. Remedial education, also known as basic education or developmental education, refers to instruction provided to children, adolescents, and adults who lack fluency in reading, writing, mathematics, and other skills. Selected factors that account for the large number of students who leave high school not having learned basic skills are discussed, as well as what teachers need to know to present more effective instruction in reading, mathematics, and writing. Remedial education does not represent a short-term trend in the United States. Each year, many first-year college students must enroll in a remedial reading class, a remedial mathematics class, or in a remedial writing class. The magnitude of the need for remedial education may be greater than generally recognized because many first-year college students avoid enrolling in remedial classes despite their lack of fluency in basic skills. Keywords Basic Education; Developmental Education; No Child Left Behind; National Assessment of Educational Progress; Non-Visual Information; Prior Knowledge; Remedial Education; Reading Fluency; Visual Information Overview Students in public schools throughout the United States have not shown significant improvement in reading or mathematics since the first National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) in 1969...

...Asian Americans in the Workplace An In-Depth Analysis of Korean Americans 11/19/2007 Table of Contents Introduction 3 History of Korean Immigration to the United States 4 Values and Customs 10 Demographical Profile 16 The ‘Bamboo Ceiling’: Barriers in the Workplace 22 A Personal Interview: A Different Side to the Story 26 Conclusion 27 References 28 Introduction The term “Asian American” has a rich history in the United States. It refers to a person of Asian ancestry who also obtains American citizenship. The term was originally used by the Census Bureau to clarify and distinguish the government’s equal opportunity programs and measurements. Also, the term “Asian American” was used by anti-war activists during the 1960s instead of using the “Oriental” which was perceived as more derogatory and demeaning. This phrase was finally popularized into mainstream academic usage in the 1970s, and is now the accepted term for government and academic research (Dacin and Hitt, 1997). Although this term allows for economists, sociologists, and statisticians to breakdown the different cultural groups found within the United States, one can delve much further into the evolution of the people we categorize as “Asian American.” In the following pages, we will attempt to explain our research findings on the evolution of one innergroup of Asian Americans within the United States, the Korean Americans. The issues raised will include: 1. An extensive overview of...

...Occupational Health and Safety is an interesting and ever-changing field in our world today. An especially intriguing aspect of this profession is the wide spectrum of opportunities available. With such a versatile certification as, Occupational Health and Safety Officer, the possibilities for my future are exciting. However, I believe that before a career is even considered, one must examine his motivations. I graduated from the University of Yaoundé in 1987 with a Bachelor at Law. Soon after my graduation, I secured a job with Pecten Oil as a Lease hand. With no proper orientation, I was sent to the field and on that same day I was unconsciously rushed to a hospital for an injury incurred on site. This lasted for 08 months after which period I decided that never again should any other worker be injured for lack of safety measures on any worksite. For that reason, when I travelled over to Canada, I took the Construction Safety Officers course. I am presently enrolled as a graduate student in Occupational Health and Safety at the Columbia Southern University. One of the proudest accomplishments of my life was earning my university degree, despite the fact that my early adulthood pointed in the opposite direction, beginning with my marriage at the age of 24. Throughout the 1990s I lived as one of the "working poor," someone who slipped through the cracks of supposedly historic prosperity. By the age of 25 I was divorced and frustrated with menial, low-paying jobs: clerk, receptionist...

...According to the Miriam-Webster dictionary, affirmative action is defined as “an active effort to improve the employment or educational opportunities of members of minority groups and women” (Miriam). Many people feel that affirmative action is necessary to either counteract injustices or ensure the advancement of certain minorities. There are four justifications generally pointed out by affirmative action exponents. These are racism, poverty, diversity, and the problem of underrepresentation. Supporters point out that many blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans live in substandard housing, go to substandard schools, and live in crime ridden neighborhoods. They also claim that they are targets of daily racism, hindering their chances for advancement. Proponents point to small numbers of these minorities in certain desirable jobs (i.e. CEOs of corporations and high elected office) as evidence of underrepresentation of minorities and a need for diversity both in the workplace and in higher education. There are a number of different levels of affirmative action, including quotas, preferences, and outreach, in lessening order of severity. Quotas, also called “set asides”, deal with having a definite amount of jobs or college spots reserved for a particular group. For example, if a university admits 1000 students every year and sets aside 150 seats that are open to blacks only, this is considered a quota. A perfect illustration of a quota would be the 1977 Supreme Court case...

...Racial & Ethnic Short-Answer Questions (15) Should reparations be paid to the descendants of victims of slavery? • Some reject the decision made in the Bakke case that providing a remedy for the effects of racial discrimination is unconstitutional. They argue that the idea of reparations is rooted in international law. • Affirmative Action is inadequate, the ‘Maafa’ (meaning disaster, i.e., slavery) is a crime against humanity, and therefore compensation is required. • In the past 50 years apologies and financial compensation has been given to a wide range of groups, including survivors of the Jewish holocaust (as well as descendants of the victims), Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned during the Second World War and native Americans who had their land illegally seized in the USA. • African Americans have been demanding compensation for slavery since the end of the American Civil War. Immediately after the abolition of slavery, the demand was for 40 acres and a mule to ensure they would not be dependent on their former slave-owners. Then, between 1890 and 1917, there was a movement to lobby the government for pensions to compensate for their unpaid labour under slavery. Since 1989, Congressman John Conyers Jnr (Michigan) has introduced a bill every year to study the case for reparations. Each of these initiatives has been largely ignored by the political establishment. • Reparations would ensure full recognition of the scale of the Maafa and, at the same time...

Campaign advertising is the use of an advertising campaign through the media to influence political debate and ultimately voters. Political advertising has changed drastically over the last several decades. Harry S. Truman was proud of his accomplishment of shaking approximately 500,000 hands but his accomplishment was soon pale compared to the next presidential election with the advent of television, war hero and presidential candidate D.W Eisenhower created commercials to get votes and so on and it different with different elections and different decades. +The Power of Incumbency- It is usually used in reference to elections where races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbents.
