Cultures using hyphenated forms of “American,” such as Mexican-American, African-American, Asian-American, Native-American and many more is a step in the right direction for culture acceptance. With this positive move in the world, there could be a change in how cultures view themselves, leading to how others view them. The multicultural society has to take into account for this change because without their acceptance it would just be hate. Bharati Mukherjee in her essay “American Dreamer,” asserts, “WE MUST BE ALERT TO THE DANGERS OF AN ‘US’ vs. ‘THEM’ MENTALITY.” Although Mukherjee has a great point here, I have to disagree. I don’t feel that we have to be aware of the ‘US’ versus ‘THEM’ mentality with the change in cultural acceptance.

Chapter 6 narrates the popular demand for a militarized “food dictatorship,” and the state leaders’ response to it. The poor Berliners challenged the market economy and believed that only a total militarized control of food distribution could serve their needs. Seeing the slow response of the authorities, the starving population found that the government failed to make their promise to reward their patriotism in the war. A byproduct at this time was anti-Semitism, separating “true Germans” from “the Jew” that were associated with profiteering (132-135). This chapter contends that the women of lesser means perceived the state’s capacity for controlling food distribution as a criterion to “adjudicate the government’s success or failure” (115). Consequently, the WWI Germany was not fully oriented to the military need and political loyalty, but full of dynamic altercation (115).

.“Ships that come and go- I wonder where they’ve been and where they’re going when they leave. I wonder what they carry with them and what they bring. The other day when I went to the market, I saw stalks of sugarcane- one of the vendors said that it came from Barbados. Barbados is an island like Jamaica- maybe Thomas will take me there one day…”

There are those who do not like the idea that they are being better served than others are. It makes them feel guilty and upset; they will feel empathy and sympathy to those who never had the opportunities that they had. The minute one acknowledges that one has privilege, that individual must either act on that knowledge, or burry one’s head in the sand. Both in quality of education and in resources, those that are the most under-served are ethnic and racial minorities living in cities. On the other hand, those that are being best served are Caucasians in suburbs, who are disproportionately given the resources and money that urban schools need. Through political and racial attitudes that have persisted from our countries inception, these

oo soon after she arrived her mother and sister died. This left her with no close ties back home, as the rest of her family had already died as well. This meant she felt more able to go to Okoyong, a dangerous part of Africa where other missionaries had been killed (Tucker 172).

The victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011 accept the president’s policy. Granting equal liberties also shows good will in changing this situation.

In the 1900’s, the United States has expanded their trading routes with oriental lands such as the Philippines. A striking speech, delivered by a first-term republican senator, Albert J. Beveridge, strongly advocates the annexation of the Philippine islands to the USA. The most striking points about the senator’s speech are his three poorly thought out reasons justifying Americans to colonize the Philippines, which were religion, profit, and race.

The various States that are members of the United States of America are not united on the principle of unrestricted submission to the General Government. But this covenant, under the style and title of the constitution for the United States and its amendments, is the General Government for special purposes (Kentucky, 1). The General Assembly of Virginia expressly articulated an unchangeable declaration to look after and protect the US Constitution and Establishment against all invasions of foreign countries or nations and all measures are guaranteed by the former. In contrast, representatives of good people of the General Assembly made the responses of the countries in the Union a mature one and agree with the resolution of Congress agreed

The intention of colleges in the United Stated during the 18th and 19th centuries was to create a system that would serve in loco parentis (in place of the parent). In the early years of American higher education, college professors sought to be disciplinarians, who played a parental role. However, the students at these institutions often behaved in a disruptive manner towards teachers, as well as fellow students. This unruly behavior can be directly linked to the economic background of the students attending these institutions, in addition to the philosophies set forth by the colleges. During this time period, colleges attracted mostly upper class men who showed little interest in their academic studies. They were individuals following generations of family members to the institution, and as a result of their connections possessed more authority at the school than the faculty. This issue began to change in the early 20th century, when colleges began admitting more economically diverse individuals. The economic background of the students, in addition to their reluctance to abide by the rules, led to violent and unruly behavior at these institutions.

The U.S. seeks to provide for its security by stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons. We have led internationally to levy economic sanctions against Iran. Our diplomatic efforts have already halted Iran’s nuclear program. The United States has an enduring interest in freedom of navigation and overflight as well as the safety and sustainability of the air and maritime environments. We are seeking stability in the Middle East, ensuring the free flow of energy from the region to the world while promoting democracy and upholding human rights. We will carry out this through investing in the ability of Israel, Jordan, and our Gulf partners to deter aggression while maintaining our unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, including

The United States continues to be in the spotlight, especially during an election year and specifically when it comes to immigration. Most recently I was intrigued by an article I read, titled “ Article“that talked about the unprecedented number of unaccompanied children crossing our U.S. Borders illegally. What began as an intriguing subject that sparked my interest evolved into a desire to expand my knowledge on the subject of immigration, particularly these unaccompanied children crossing our borders? The article for all intent and purposes shed some light on the subject matter by providing numbers and statistics, however; it also left me with a plethora of unanswered questions regarding the livelihood of these lost children of our borders. What this article failed to mention is, what would prompt families to send their children, some as young as toddlers to an unknown country where the risk for their welfare is a precarious one at best and the barriers of language alone are substantial. Where are these children coming from and what transpires once they reach U.S. territory? Are they returned to their respective countries and what factors determine whether they are deported or are permitted to remain in the United States? Who assumes responsibility for these children, is there a final destination or perhaps, the hope relies upon that our system will locate a family member in the U.S. that would succumb to their rescue. The bigger question is what is the United States

The United States of America was built and founded on the exploitation of minorities and the expansion of non native lands. Anglo-Saxon superiority and their consecutive impact on control of policies and strong power throughout every social institution in the nation allowed discrimination to prosper. Scientific Racism reached new levels of justification towards slavery, the massive eradication of the Native people, colonialism and daily incidents of unequal actions and treatments towards colored people. The strong existence of polygenesis assisted with spurring along and justify racism; the idea that all minorities were groups of individuals who ultimately came from another type of species supporting the idea that Blacks, Natives, and

The United States of America can be considered as world power and one of the nation’s top competitors in terms of strength and equality. However, in the second half of the 18th century, America greatly lacked what was needed to grow and prosper into the thriving country it is today. Several historical themes like, for instance, the growth of national identity, diversity, and geographical resourcefulness can be used to analyze the growth of America. These factors allowed Americans to break out from colonial monotony. Without a vast improvement and maturity of America between the years of 1750 and 1876, America would most likely not be strong enough or have the potential as a country to become a threat to other countries around the world.
