Robert Dunn's Argument Essay

In “Chinese Immigrant Lee Cew Denounces Prejudice in America, 1882”, we read the account of Chinese immigrant Lee Chew who, writing in 1882, finds himself discontented with the treatment he endures as an immigrant from China. Lee Chew’s experience was not unique; the Chinese immigration experience was one that was marked by discrimination and general exploitation. However, this pattern of discriminatory behavior was much more comprehensive than being directed at a specific race, and the Chinese experience is controvertible with the immigrant experience at large. Prejudice and discrimination in

“America the land of opportunity, to all” has always been a driving force for many people from poor, undeveloped societies far away from America. This simple saying has brought over millions and millions of people from they’re native countries, leaving behind families and friends. Some never to return. Once in America, reality sets in for most of these groups as that suffer thought unequal treatment, racism and discrimination. One such group involved similar treatments were the Chinese- Americans, in the documentary “Becoming American- the Chinese Experience” we are given a first hand looks and descriptions of the hate that Chinese- American suffered in America. This paper will discuss these events including the documentary and class notes, further it will also describe the difference treatment that Chinese- American face in present day compared to the past.

Racial inequality, excessive punishment, unfair trials, wrongful convictions and improper treatment of children and the mentally ill are just some of the main reasons why attorney, Bryan Stevenson, decided to found the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI).

On Wednesday August 31st 2016 in North Muskegon Michigan, Brittany Miller and six year old son Granderson went shopping at a local grocery store. As they made their way up and down each individual isle Granderson suddenly began making high pitched screeching sounds. Just as some other autistic individuals, Granderson is more sensitive to sound. Therefore as a coping mechanism, Granderson often will imitate the sound of a fire alarm to help him deal with the overwhelming sounds and noise. Miller explains shortly after her son began to display this behavior it was only a few brief moments afterward, that she turned around to find a note that was placed upon her bag that read: “You need to buy that kid a muzzle!!”. His mother expresses that she

Many immigrants who arrived in the United States of America often times felt like “Strangers to These Shores.” The Chinese immigrants were no different, and were not spared from prejudice, racism or discrimination. In fact, many Chinese migrants came as sojourners in the early nineteenth century for various push and pull factors and posed a real threat to Irish union workers; life was not easy for the Chinese during this period in time.

Would it be different if publishing the book in 1951? The public interpretation would be very different in publishing this in 1951 because of the changes like Jim Crow laws and discrimination to our laws (or other). For example, back then they did not have very many laws as we do today. For instances the Jim Crow laws, we do not have the crow laws anymore. Therefore, in this case, it would be very different if published in 1951.

Tell me what's not made in China.” and “Is China America’s friend or enemy...Can you guys take care of North Korea for us?” The most people who were asked were elder people who were not good at speaking English because they spent the most time living in their own Chinese community. Let look back at the second image that white people wished Asian and other immigrants leave their white community, but now, in the modern society, they went to the immigrants’ community to disturb and embrace them. Of course, this is not an everyday situation, however, it can still reveal the social issue that had already existed since the first immigration

In the end, life is too precious to stare at 5 or 50 inch screen, to create, to do, to see, to feel, to learn. Ray Bradbury illustrates this and tries to spread this in a form of a warning to Americans. To make Americans think about the distractions and what humans are fully capable of. whether, the distraction comes from technology, the media, and even people. Humans themselves control their own lives, nobody should dictate, censor and prevent individual thought, It is only up to the person to realize this.

Mr. Sargent uses terms such as “justify”, “solve”, “explain”, and “formulate” to help his students implicate their understanding in his lecture. In one case, he had a student explain the answer they got from a specific problem to make it clear that they know it. This also brings into account in contributing ones own understanding for other students is at the same level as everyone else. I feel this definitely presents higher level thinking in any grade level. He uses the term justify in a different approach when wanting his students to give a comment or opinion on how a problem. This in my opinion also represents an example of a higher-level thinking. There have been multiple times in which my mentor teacher has had students solve problems

Historians have been constantly disputed the root cause of passing the Chinese Exclusion Act, Erika Lee in her book, At America’s Gates, she said, “rather than emphasizing the ‘labor’ aspect of Chinese Exclusion”, she emphasizes, “the western part of the equation”, also she arguing that “the late 19th –century U.S. West became the birthplace of anti-Chinese legislation because of the ‘history of extending and reinforcing white supremacy in the region and its unique relationship with the federal government.” However, Mr. King is lucky; because of religious reason, he cannot stay in China anymore, he came to America to apply for political asylum in 2005. For the reason of religious, I do not talk about too much; I only can say the background was China’s only one failure

Centuries ago, man used to write on paper with a pen. The innovation that we have within ourselves brought our ancestors the idea of inventing something which in place of using a pen just used a paper and the letters or the text was encrypted on it by a machine. The efforts yielded us the term “Typewriter”. It was a mechanical device which had the letters of the alphabets placed on it with essentials like a button which was used to create spaces between words and the strokes of the letters produced the exact same words on the paper through mechanically moving thongs which impressed letters on the paper. A typical typewriter is shown in the figure; it was the first commercial typewriter which was brought in the market. Christopher Stoles patented

In this essay, Bushnell explains her theory about the difference between mortal and god. Oedipus must be a mortal because mortals will always speak whereas gods, and associates, are able to remain silent. Out of the many encounters with Apollo and Tiresias, each were all “encounters with silence” (91). Bushnell argued this point well with her inclusion of the analysis of each meeting between Oedipus and the immortals. She effectively explained Oedipus’s fight to be considered an immortal and how in the end, he was satisfied with utilizing his ability to talk with his “human voice” (101). When she brought in another piece of literature, however, she took a lot of space to make it a summary. Had she executed the cross-examining of Oedipus based

How did it go? When my grandmother asked me, what the doctor said, I told her the truth. I told her that need to be on a treatment right away, and that she needs to stop smoking. My grandmother reaction to the bad news was really sad because she cried and she did not want it to stay in the United States for long time. But on the other hand, the treatment for her disease is really expensive and is not the same treatments as here. Mill’s principle of utility states, ‘’Actions are right proportion as they tend to promote happiness, with happiness understood roughly as pleasure and the absence of pain”. My grandmother was not very happy; however, she is thankful that the doctor find out her disease on time, rather than late.

Finally, even prejudice and discrimination have decreased but many Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans continue to experience these two social issues in the twenty-first century. For example, because many Chinese and Japanese are doing well in mathematics, sometime people may think that all Chinese and Japanese are very good at math. So when they asks Chinese Americans some math questions and they can’t answer those questions, some people might say “I thought you are very good at math because you are a Chinese.” In this situation, many Chinese Americans feel insulted. During the past hundred years, Chinese American had experienced many discrimination action such as Chinese Exclusion Act. Chinese Americans had fought for their right and
