Immigrants and Immigration What is an American? An American is someone who loves thier country and the people in it, and believes in bettering thier own lives as well as the lives of those around them. Does it really matter that these individuals may be of German or Chinese desent? No, not at all; thier ethnic background has nothing to do with being American. To say that the majority of people in the United States have some sort of tie with an ethnic background from a different country would be a safe asumption. This is what makes our American Culture unique. Immigrants bring to our country strong family structures and strong morals. Foreigners also help our economy prosper (Julian L. Simon). Imigrants are what help make America be America; by being a multicultural society standing united. In todays American society it is not uncommon for their to be families broken up by divorce or other domestic disturbances. However, immigrants seem to have much more stronger family values. (Rocky Arcadi) For many immigrants, family comes first over everything; for many of them family is all they have. This is especially true of traditional developing societies. Many of these newcomers have strong traditions and beliefs wich are strict and are instilled in thier children. By immigrants comming to America with these type of beliefs and strong traditions it sets good examples for our western civilization. By receiving new cultures to our society it is a chance to absorb thier rules and respect they have for one another. This is ideal to help restore our family values. It has been said that "immigration is a threat to our economy." This statement is so absurd. Immigration increases purchasing thereby, increases demand for labor. Immigration not only takes jobs, but also creates them. (Wall Street Journal) For instance, A man comes to America from China. This man opens a small Chinese resteraunt. The resteraunt makes outstanding buisness. Ten years latter this man owns twelve resteraunts and employees three hundred Americans. Stories like that happen all the time, wich help our economy. Immigrants are what help America be America. They say that America is just a melting pot. This is what makes our country unique. We have many cultures, many Ideas, and traditions, but all of us have the same dream. That Dream is the American Dream. The same dream that keeps Americans in America and immigrants to come here. By haveing a variety of cultures helps people understand and learn from each other. Takeing immigration away would hurt this country more than economicly, but, socially also. Immigration, I feel is etremly important. Being an Italian American myself, I understand the importance of immigration. My family have traditions and beliefs they teach me, that I'll teach my kids some day. Im very proud of background in Italy and America. And no one should be denied the opportunity my parents and I have to be a part of America.

To begin, the definition of pathological actually means abnormal or grossly atypical. Therefore, a pathological liar prevaricates more frequently than the average person or tells more abnormal lies. In most cases, pathological liars tell lies that are "unplanned and impulsive" (Hausman). These lies are usually very emotional stories that tend to serve no purpose except to impress people (Ford 133). As of now, psychiatrists are unsure whether or not pathological liars are fully capable of realizing if and when they are lying, so detecting whether or not a person is a pathological liar is a very difficult task (Hausman).
Jones states that intelligent design is a religious view, based of creationism and not a scientific theory. He adds that the Dover school board’s claim to be examining an alternate form of science is simply, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom. After the judge decision the school board, consisting of newly-elected, pro- science members. The federal courts have ruled that creationism, creation science, and intelligent design are not science, but instead endorse a specific religious belief. Therefore, these topics are not appropriate content for a science classroom. Neither Intelligent design nor any other form of creationism has met any of the standards of science and cannot be tested by the scientific method. On the other hand, evolution, like all other sciences, is founded on a growing body of observable and reproducible evidence in the natural
I hear the crunch under my feet and the smell of the salt in the air. I hear the waves crashing and see the boat coming. With my entire Junior Lifeguard group we jogged towards the south side shore of Seal Beach. The first half of my group had already gone to do boat drops, but it was my turn now. My instructor Jeremy was with us and we were getting ready to swim out to the length of tower zero. As I waded into the water I could feel the shock of the cool, crisp wind blowing against it. Once we got out to tower zero I could see the boat nearing. We floated in the chopping water as the boat was getting ready to help us in. One at a time the lifeguards on the boat would tell us to put our back to the swim step and give them our hands, which were
In this essay I will discuss that I do not agree with Richard Dawkins and will prove this by using the theory of Intelligent Design as to why I do not agree with him.
America is known famously throughout the world with the nickname 'The melting pot.' The reason behind this is that America is extremely diverse and has many different people. Immigrants give America the chance to know the culture of many countries. They bring in their culture, religion, economic benefits, and ideology to America. I believe that the United States should allow legal immigrants from all over the world because they bring many benefits to it. Immigrants are a positive influence on United States of America.
One of the thigs that many people love to do is make decisions, and every day good and bad decisions are made. One of the things that people are not aware about is that their decisions are based on analogies. In “Metaphorically Speaking” by James Geary this is proved. Geary mentions a study in which “students were asked if they would help a country that had been invaded” (00:06:34). There were different scenarios in which one of the past wars, such as World War II, Vietnam war, or a war which was historically neutral was being compared to the country that was being invaded. This caused the students to compare one of the past wars to the country that was being invaded and see how similar these events really were. This had a great impact on their
The United States of America is a strong country with its own general culture. At the same time, it is a country in which many unique and different cultures are represented. Having a general culture with many unique cultures mixed in has helped make America the country that it is. Immigrants should assimilate to American culture, but should be allowed to keep certain aspects of their original culture.
Intelligent Design is the theory that states that certain factors and living things are best explained by some higher intelligent cause, rather than an indirect cause like natural selection or evolution (Ayala, 2006, p. 72). The idea of intelligent design provokes great controversy due to the conclusion of a higher intelligent cause being related to religion. The theory claims that there is a higher intelligent cause because life is too complex to happen at random and therefore needs some greater power to explain the complexity.
Coffee is a truly a mythological treasure. It serves the dual functions of waking one up and providing one with relaxation. It is both acid and base, bitter and sweet, caustic and comforting. It is used for an array of purposes: to soothe, to give energy, to lend fortitude, to bring people together. Sometimes it is ascribed almost supernatural healing properties. In Mario Puzo’s The Fortunate Pilgrim, coffee takes these roles and more: the drinking of coffee is an immensely important ritual that serves a myriad of social functions and responds to a wide range of human emotions.
America is often known as the land of opportunity, a place where you can be free. Many Immigrants came to America so that they could have a greater possibility at succeeding in life. Immigrants took a leap of faith when coming to America, for some it worked out well but for others they had a difficult time here. Despite the struggles that the immigrants encountered such as; standing out from others, being separated from their families, and breaking their culture, the immigrants are still grateful to be in America because they were in better conditions than they were in their home land. When viewing interviews or looking at an immigrant’s perspective you get many responses to being in America, some major things that stood out were the amount of freedom the immigrant had, and the age of the immigrant. These two things had a huge impact on the opinion of America from an Immigrants point of view.
Important to the task, the definition of Intelligent Design should be clear. Its predicates must represent its truthful position. This is necessitated by the fact that in their fight against Intelligent Design, opponents often employ derogatory and misrepresenting terms. They have branded Intelligent Design with names such as ‘creationism in a cheap tuxedo,’ ‘neo-creationism,’ and have called it ‘unscientific.’ These definitions se...
Despite all these reasons, I believe a dog provides a lot more to you than what you expect. The simple joys of getting up every morning and cuddling him, the constant wagging of the tail, and the very real (as well as effective) puppy eyes when you’re eating food! Now who wouldn’t want to love a dog after this?
America was built on immigrants, and the hope of a better life. When we set sail to America we were all immigrants. Americans left Europe because of religious oppression, and we seeked out a better life. That’s what the immigrants today are doing too. We promote that America will give you a better life, and that we are a land of opportunity. Even though we say these things we don’t like to share our freedom, and we say that “America is for Americans”.
Vegas, on the other hand, was a full grown Persian cat that a friend was trying to find an adopted home for before she moved out of state. I had been around Vegas enough times to have a good idea of his personality, and I decided to help my friend out and give Vegas a try. Unlike C...
