Entry Into Canada Governor General Clarkson
368 wordsThe wonderful thing about being Canadian is that despite our blemished history, we have shown we are capable of change. Attitudes in Canada dont stay entrenched. Her appointment was called a reflection of the diversity and inclusiveness of our society. Like sunlight through a window, Adrienne Clarkson has smoothly transcended the shadows of the cold, hardened, 1940 s Canada she was raised in, only to lead Canadian diversity into the third millennium. Nearly denied entry into Canada because of a ...

U S Citizens Religious And Political
1,830 wordsMany Americans are concerned about the influx of immigrants into our country. They see new arrivals as a threat to jobs, a drain on over-burdened social services and a threat to cultural traditions. They complain, "There is a limit to how many newcomers can be absorbed, and the rate at which they can be assimilated into the existing system. "We can't just tear down the borders and let everyone in (with or without documents). "Over the years the United States has been called a nation of immigrant...

19 Th Century Knights Of Labor
477 wordsIndustrialization in the 19 th century made production easier, quicker and inexpensive for employers. I believe that industrialization allowed employers to abuse American and immigrant workers in many ways. Workers were exposed to hazardous environments. Facilities lacked fire extinguishers. These facilities also locked emergency exits. An example of unsafe workplaces was the NYC Triangle Shirtwaist Company (1911). This factory caught a fire and killed 146 workers including men, women, and child...

Ways Of Thinking Beginning Of The Story
1,145 wordsI do believe that Sara Smolenskys experience does support the stereotype of upward mobility in industrial America. In the beginning of the story the author explains how the family lives as new immigrants in America. The living conditions were awful. They lived in tenement houses with utilities being scarce. This relates to what we discussed in class when we went over the topic of the modern city being built. The majority of immigrants that migrated to America lived in tenement houses under bad c...

Part Of The Story End Of The Book
1,735 wordsIn my opinion, Gus Lee did a great job in portraying a boy who was brought up in San Francisco and the hardships that he encountered. He portrays Kai Ting as a typical Chinese boy growing up in America, and how he overcomes the obstacles that he faces once in America. CHINABOY shows many examples of Chinese customs, these customs which clash with American customs. I think Kai Ting could represent any type of immigrant, who finds it difficult to start a new life in a totally different country. Ka...
