...The purpose of this memorandum is to give a detail description of the stance of immigration in the United States, the description of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance, and my policy strategy that will aid Latinos Mississippi immigrants who are struggling in the work force. Throughout the development of the United States, immigration has been a difficult and arduous topic to cover. The United States of America has been always viewed as the “American Dream” for immigrants to get more opportunities for a better life style with jobs, education, and respect they may not have in their homeland. Thus, many foreigners travels and settle in America to see what they can benefit from the new area. With many new immigrants, with variety of character and culture, they can be a great edition in improving the United States overall. There is a surplus of immigrants that are working hard to achieve a luxurious life they seek and with that motivation; it has significant impact on America’s economy. It starts back in the...

...Fondue or Salad? American became known as the “Melting Pot” when people from different countries, having different cultures, languages and religions blend together into their new homeland. ("Credo", 2013) in the early 1900. Since that time the “melting pot” seems to have turned into a “salad bowl.” (“Cultural Savvy,” 2011) Now America is becoming a salad bowl culture. With the melting pot title, every culture immigrating to America blended into one culture. Since then, we have been receiving people from countries that have never been part of the melting pot before. We are now beginning to take on the flavor of a salad. When you have a salad, each ingredient maintains its own distinct flavor apart from each other ingredient. With this type of culture, we have become a nation that is no longer blended as one culture. The reason for this dramatic change in the culture of America is that people relocating to America are not as willing to adapt, and those already here are not as accepting as they once were. Even though out of many one, remains our country’s motto, multiculturalism does not work because one culture is not accepting of another and new cultures do not want to change and adapt. For many years, people who immigrated to America were mostly of European heritage. These immigrants wanted to become part of the “melting pot” culture. When these immigrants came to America, one would have thought that the first thing they did was to begin to learn the English language...

...According to the United Nations High Commissioner “The number of refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people around the world has topped 65 million” and a UNHCR press release states that “One in every 113 people on Earth has now been driven from their home by persecution, conflict, and violence or human rights violations.” In almost every continent you can now find a type of displaced person or family due to a number of things such as hunger, war, jobs, or oppressive governments. Displaced people often have to overcome numerous challenges on there quest for a safe place to call home again. The record number of displaced people is the result, of armed conflicts and failed peace talks around the world, aided by the mistrust of immigrants...

...factories. With this book the world was introduced to the exposed side of the meat factories in unsanitary conditions. Of course, Sinclair’s intention was not to write The Jungle in an effort to unveil the dirty side to the meat packing factories, but it was intended to be a love story between a young couple immigrating from Lithuania to the United States. Along with The Jungle is Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. The statistical side of this book was also intended to expose the meat industry but by humiliating fast food restaurants and where their meat products were coming from. People were appalled by the facts this book gave, and they began having new perspectives on fast food. Overall, Fast Food Nation appeals to readers’ senses of ethos pathos and logos then The Jungle does. First of all, Schlosser does a much better job of convincing people to change their views on fast food products and all meat products in general. His diction choices are pedantic and factual, his details become emotional when introducing real people’s incidents, and he organizes his events as our history progresses. The book begins with Andes 2 the first fast food restaurants in the Unites States, and moves on to the progression of the meat industry as a result of fast food restaurants growing throughout the nation. “Some chains prefer to play follow the leader: when a new McDonald’s opens, other...

...situations. Part I of the book offered an explanation of why diversity is becoming an increasingly important topic in the workplace. William B. Johnston, in “Global Workforce 2000: The New World Labor Market” explains that workplace diversity is not just a challenge in the United States. It is a challenge faced around the globe. Developing nations are producing educated workers faster than their economies are able to employ them. Therefore, these workers are immigrating to countries where they have the greatest opportunity. (p. 5) In order to attract the most talented workers, and stay competitive in the global marketplace, employers will have to learn to value the diverse talents that their changing workforce brings to the table. They will have to use these diverse talents to their competitive advantage instead of trying to fit all workers into the same mold. If the world (not just the United States) does not learn how to deal with the expanding diversity of the workforce, talented individuals will search for greater opportunities and greater respect elsewhere. In the article “From Affirmative Action to Affirming Diversity”, R. Roosevelt Thomas explains how affirmative action served its purpose, but is no longer applicable. Affirmative action got the numbers in the workforce, but it hasn’t...

...trends in migration and the factors causing migration. Migration trends also need to be understood in terms of the characteristics of immigrating groups. In so doing the cause behind the migration of these groups becomes evident. This research tackles the factors causing immigration whilst paying special attention to the role played by government policy and state action. This is mainly because emigration and immigration have, over the years, become state affairs transcending the personal requirements of individuals. Countries have adopted strict laws, policies and protocols that guide the emigration and immigration processes. The paper established a deep correlation between these laws, policies and protocols and the migration patterns. This was after analysis of available migration statistics as well as government policy and state action. The latter was found to have a rooted influence on the former either directly or indirectly. In the direct influence, government policy presents a push or pull factor that necessitated migration. In the indirect influence, government policies affect other push or pull factors that in turn accept migration. Thesis Statement The current government policies, laws and protocols coupled with relevant state action impact the global emigration and immigration trends. In order to fully address the thesis statement, the research paper is organised into three sections that...

...Despite Carlton Carl’s idealistic view of how the legal system should operate this simple principle has become corrupted into one that is unfair to the poor and ethnic minorities. Discussing the state of the U.S.’s legal system is a controversial subject to touch upon due to it being one of the major things that keeps order in our society. But it has to be questioned when those of varying races, ethnicities, and class background are being treated significantly worse than the white middle class males that dominate our society today and are met with special treatment. Whether it is the poor who are accused and can't afford to pay for legal representation, or prejudice against certain ethnic groups in the legal system, Upton Sinclair shows the...

Introduction The issue of immigration has been the hot debated topic in the European Union for a long time. And there is obvious evidence that the upsurge of immigration into the Europe will not be calmed down within a short time. The European Union has developed its competences in the fields of policies and regulations regarding the immigration issue. But the problems still exist and more things need to be done for creating a better balance. The report will first quickly go over the history of human migration and reasons for the recent large scale of immigration into Europe will be analyzed. After, the policies and regulations implemented by nations of Europe and the European Union will be introduced before going deep into the problems brought up by immigration. Then some solutions as to how to settle the current problems will be provided and concessions will be made to maintain a balanced and objective knowledge of the influences of immigration. 2.

...9-913-501 JULY 12, 2012 JOHN BINGHAM MICHAEL BEER Performance Management at Vitality Health Enterprises, Inc. The Health and Vitality of Vitality Health Enterprises James Hoffman, the newly appointed vice president of Human Resources of Vitality Health Enterprises, was pleased when he saw an early preview of the earnings figures for the fourth quarter of 2011. But he knew better than to relax. Competition in the personal care products sector was cutthroat, and complacency was a recipe for obsolescence and loss of market share, particularly in cosmetics and nutraceuticals. Vitality was riding high on a six-quarter string of strong revenue growth that had surpassed analyst expectations. However, as emerging markets represented a growing portion of business revenues, the company was becoming increasingly exposed to volatility and uncertainty and, without prompt corrective action, would soon be poised to trip over its own feet. The cost of research and development continued to climb, and Hoffman feared that the chain of success was allowing employees to relax, leading to a culture of ineffective performance management. There were even whispers of discontent from the marketing team about a growing number of missed product launches. Hoffman knew that Vitality had recently struggled to maintain its position as an industry leader in innovation and he worried about the slow but notable increases in employee turnover, especially among the highly talented research...

...ANSWERS FOR THE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS 1. b The sociological perspective is an approach to understanding human behavior by placing it within its broader social context. (4) 2 . d Sociologists consider occupation, income, education, gender, age, and race as dimensions of social location.(4) 3. d All three statements reflect ways in which the social sciences are like the natural sciences. Both attempt to study and understand their subjects objectively; both attempt to undercover the relationships that create order in their respective worlds through controlled observation; and both are divided into many specialized fields. (5-7) 4. c Generalization is one of the goals of scientific inquiry. It involves going beyond individual cases by making statements that apply to broader groups or situations. (7) 5. b The Industrial Revolution, imperialism, and the development of the scientific method all contributed to the development of sociology. The fourth influence was the political revolutions in America and France — there was no political revolution in Britain at that time. (8-9) 6. d Positivism is the application of the scientific approach to the social world. (9) 7. d Of the four statements, the one that best reflects Herbert Spencer’s views on charity is “The poor are the weakest members of society and if society intervenes to help them, it is interrupting the natural process of social evolution.” While many contemporaries of Spencer’s were appalled by his views, the wealthy industrialists...

But in agriculture, unlike other industries where women were viewed as temporary workers, women’s employment did not end with the war. Instead, the expansion of agriculture and a steady decrease in the number of male farmworkers combined to cause the industry to hire more women in the postwar years. Consequently, the 1950s saw a growing number of women engaged in farm labor, even though rhetoric in the popular media called for the return of women to domestic life. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturing and agricultural sectors in the United States following the Second World War differed in which of the following respects? B A. The rate of expansion in...
