Immigrants come to America because they are looking for a better life. But with them, they brought their culture and ideas. Thanks to them, America is a melting pot is a better country. They inspired thousands and revolutionized our country. Without them our country would be far different then it is now. Our country’s technology, science, and entertainment has been positively impacted by immigrants. One man that has been credited with changing American technology is Elon Musk. He immigrated to America from South Africa when he was 17 and has been making millions ever since. In his late 20s, he sold his first company, Zip2, for $305 million. This money allowed him to further pursue his ambitions. The company provided and licensed online city …show more content…
He was an inventor who made many things that are used in our daily life today. His biggest major breakthrough was discovered Alternating current. Some believed that AC was far dangerous to have in their homes, but he proved them wrong when he sent AC through his body and animal´s bodies and proved that it was safe. Nikola Tesla's discovery of Alternating Current is still used today to provide power to the United States. Another famous invention he made was the radio. The radio has been used ever since it has been invented. It was a luxury to have when it was first released, but they are now common items. They are in every car to play music or play talk shows which have made car rides much more pleasant. Afterwards, Tesla created the remote control. The inventor made a remote-controlled boat to demonstrate his breakthrough but, this had little use at the time (West). Now, they control everything from military tanks, fighter jets and boats to kids toy cars. The brilliant inventor also played a big role in discovering X-Rays. The reason why he wasn’t credited with discovering it is because almost all of his work was destroyed when his laboratory in New York burned down. He was the first to bring up the possibility of x-rays hurting us if we are unprotected from it’s radiation, in addition to discovering it (Hrabak, Maja et. al). X-rays are used every day by doctors to produce images of organs, tissue and bones. Without the technological breakthroughs that Nikola Tesla made the United
All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life,” Tesla (1927). This philosophy of Tesla hold true on both accounts, Tesla did make life easier for mankind and he did invest all his money attempting to accomplish that task. “Despite his accomplishments, however, Tesla died penniless and without the accolades that would he would ultimately earn over a century later,” according to Whipps (2014). Aside from the above quote which reminds us of how determined Tesla was, we have various technologies that current culture utilizes on an everyday basis which solidifies his importance on society. For example, Tesla is responsible solely for or developing the technology or methods which enable, alternating current, light, x-rays, radios, remote controls, electric motors, robotics, lasers, wireless communications and potential limitless free energy. An argument could be made that Tesla has had such a profound influence on our society that the inevitable switch to battery operated, fully automatized motor vehicles is led by a company which utilizes the brand name of
There is no denying that immigration will always be a factor in the development of the United States. Whether it is due to religious beliefs, economic problems or even war in their native country, emigrants will always come to America with hopes of starting a new life in the “Land of the Free”. Fortunately, the people who do choose to legally migrate to America are generally motivated for success and well-educated. Even the immigrants who are not well educated are motivated to succeed, work hard and take jobs in areas where labor forces are low or jobs that a native-born American may not even consider, effectively making them a contributing member of society.
As one can see, the United States is an important place of diversity and multiculturalism. Without immigration it would not be the place that it is today. The United States is dependent on immigration to help it flourish. Jobs that would normally not be filled, are filled and for less pay. Immigrants are passionate about what they do and want to have a better life. If we continue to allow them to come live in America, we will continue to see a positive cultural
Former President Grover Cleveland once said, “Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” While this is true, the immigrants, who built this country, came legally. Immigrants create a diverse country and build up a great nation like America. On the other hand, illegal immigrants tear down a country economically. Illegal immigration to the United States creates a variety of problems that will only grow worse if not addressed by the federal government.
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.
Immigrants come to America to seek a better life and receive a better education. America
Immigration is what has made America what it is today. America expresses concerns of the growing immigrant population, but those concerns vary and are expressed with intensity by the different segments of the population. There is immigrants all over the world seeking for a better future. Some of these countries where these immigrants come from are from Mexico, Canada, and china. Most of the immigrants here in America are Mexican. They are known to come with big groups, such as their families. It is easy to get from Mexico to the U.S because of the border, they are parallel to each other which makes it equal to seek a new life in
Immigrants came here for the same reason that families have always come here, and that is the American dream. Immigration started in the 1840s and will most likely never stop, but our country needs to take more action in controlling it. United States citizens like to believe that people should have the chance to better themselves. That is why people come to the United States to make things better for themselves. Immigrants come here to have freedom of religion, to be able to have a proper education and to have better paying jobs.
As a country founded on the many cultures drawn to a promise of a better life, the United States sees immigrants as vital to its expansion. Beginning with the first European settlements in 1607, America has since experienced successive waves of immigration that have risen and fallen over time. Throughout history, immigrants have helped form a distinct and unique political and social culture while providing labor for the growing economy. Immigrants shaped America. In the past, Americans embraced different cultures and assimilated new ideas, yet always maintained a strong sense of loyalty to the principles by which the country was founded on – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Immigration meant more opportunities for innovators, scholars,
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and physicist. He was also considered an eccentric genius and recluse. Tesla is best known for his feud with Thomas Edison over AC power Versus DC Power. He was also well known for inventing the Tesla Coil which is still used in radio technology today. Nikola Tesla was mostly forgotten until the 1990’s when there was a resurgence of interest in popular culture.
Immigrants have enhanced our culture by making it a combination of everyone’s diverse customs and traditions and, allowing us to enjoy different things. They bring in innovated ideas and success which benefits our economy and creates jobs. Immigration has also allowed people from different countries to seek opportunity and an escape to gain freedom and rights. America’s economy has been boosted, many different cultures have been brought together as one, and people are able to succeed and find opportunity because of
In today’s world, America would not be who they are if immigrants did not come when they needed help. Plenty of different races come into America for finding a better life and hope to gain the American Dream. When Immigrants gain the American Dream, they help the country out for the acceptance into this country. Unfortunately, these immigrants have been bashed with a racist comment and been discriminated by the citizens of America. Immigrants have helped shaped American Culture and Identity by facing the reality of racism and discrimination.
Immigration and immigrants built America. The Africans improved the economic growth agriculturally, Asians built the railroads, and the Latinx community taught irrigation techniques to allow farmers improve the agriculture. Immigrants were taking the jobs unwanted by Americans, but then they were accused of stealing the jobs of Americans. Not only that, but many citizens believe immigrants were criminals and were forced into the U.S. by their government in order to cause terrible crimes, and citizens still believe immigrants are criminals today. Americans, primarily the government, discriminated against Africans, Asians, Latinos, etc., and prevented them from entering the country, and they are still being discriminated against.
Nikola Tesla is regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors in history. His work provided the basis for the modern alternating current power system, as well as having developed both radio and the fluorescent light bulb. He worked with Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, among others. He was also widely misunderstood by his peers and the public at large.
First of all the developer of this innovation was Nikola Tesla ; a Serbian- American Engineer and Physicist. His first project was the AC motor generator and the development of transmissional technology. His success with this lasted until he had an argument with his boss because of his mad scientist
