The problem is accentuated by the widening of the gap between rich and poor, that can be translated in this matter as an increase of difficulty for low-income families to have access to the much more expensive high quality day care options. There are several aspects that built such a controversial situation and the most important are certainly the cultural and economical ones. The huge growth in women’s independence and professional ambition, in addition to importance, of the last decades, caused the fall of the cultural basis that have always taken for granted the responsibility of the mother as the full-time caregiver (Chisholm 38). Now women are more willing to gain a successful and respectable place in society, and this can be achieved almost exclusively through hard work and full immersion in their jobs. Simultaneously, the economical situation of our society caused many families to depend on two incomes to satisfy the basic needs. In fact, the increase in the cost of living not sufficiently balanced by a relatively smaller rise in wages, and a greater attitude toward materialism and conspicuous consumption, have given women the same financial responsibility as men (Chilman 451). This aspect can be fully applied only on families with an average income or better, because professional daycare programs are pretty expensive and in some cases can reach prices higher than the minimum wage. Those factors

As an immigrant, we all come to America to have a better life. Some people came to America because they want to run away from the violence back in their home country such as voila, others came to America just to have better education and life. Even though they both came to America to have a better future. Voila from “The good braider” was a child who came from Sudan to America to escape the harassment and violence the solders did to her and her family, and Young Ju from “A step from heaven” was a little girl who come from Korea to America following her family for better life in America.

The Nazis took every opportunity to make an impact on society. The 1936 Berlin Olympics which had been under planning for years were seen as an occasion to promote the new government, showcase the ideas of Hitler and provide an image of a strong and powerful German nation. Propaganda played a substantial role in the so called achievement of these goals. This essay will explore the use of Nazi propaganda along with other techniques and actions that had a great impact on the citizens of Germany and the world.

Although immigrant women play a big role in America’s society and economy, they have been constantly mistreated and looked down upon throughout history. Not only do they face the burden of the stratifications that their gender entails but they also struggle to adopt the American culture and norms. America was viewed as the land of opportunities and economic prosperity, a perspective that draws in many immigrant women who were willing to leave their families and possessions to come to this foreign country in hopes of a better life. In America, they faced many challenges as they not only had to work long hours but also took care of their families and do housework as well. They struggled to make a standard living out of low wage jobs and assimilating into America’s society. Today, the treatment of immigrant women has improved greatly as they have stood together and fought for their rights. Immigrant women have built communities and held strikes for better pay and treatment. Although America has made great strides in improving treatment of immigrant women, there is still social injustice. Immigrant women have come a long way from the first time they entered America until now, but their stories are often left untold and omitted from American history.

When I was 14 years old my father come to my room and told me that we were going to move to the United States. In a year, my father got everything we needed, so we can move to the United States. Our passport, the L1 that is the work visa, is the one my father got, he buy a house, and all of other stuff. The day that we travel was 2010 when I was 15 years old. We came here withouth anything we only have a house and ourselves. When we arrive home we didn’t have a bed, so we sleep in a airbed for like two weeks, while we buy the furniture. In a month we bought the beds, some sofas, a car, and some other things. A year later we have been buying a lot of new things to decorate the house. Also,

The initial step Congress can take to address the issue of birth tourism is to change the INA, which oversees most visa standards and qualification, to make going to the Unified States with the essential aim of conceiving an offspring a visa ineligibility and bar to confirmation. This will engage consular officers (and fortify the power of migration investigators at the ports of section) to inquire as to whether they are pregnant or plan to conceive an offspring in the Assembled States and to decline a visa or a demand for affirmation on those grounds. Since no explorer has a privilege to a vacationer visa or to affirmation regardless of the fact that the voyager has a visa, the weight of evidence will be on candidates to demonstrate that they are not pregnant or expecting to conceive an offspring in the Unified States when applying for a visa. Moving this weight on to the candidate is a huge component of current U.S. migration law as for transitory guests, and is basic to the law's viability.

This book is a memoir so it is all about Ashley’s life in the foster care program. Each chapter talks about the hardships she went through at all the different foster homes. Ashley was taken into foster care when she was only three years old. She was in 14 different homes in a total of nine years. She had a brother, Luke that was also in the foster care program with her. They were separated multiple times, but always ended up at the same foster home together. It was not until Ashley was adopted that they were separated for good. Ashley’s mom was in prison multiple times, she was also a drug addict. She had visitation rights, but her visitations were always supervised. At these visitations she always promised Ashley that she was going to turn her life around, and get both her and Luke back. It never happened; as a result, Ashley had a lot of trust issues and a hard time believing people actually cared for her. Ashley was adopted and had a tough first couple of years adjusting to having a family. It wasn’t until about the end of the book where she finally got used to having a real family.

The twisted, finger-like braches of the petrifying trees scrammed danger through my bran. Their compelling spell was cast upon like a king and his slave. Every hope i once had, every dram i once imagined, disappeared. As i stumbled along, an eerie fog swam around strangling the blood0splattered trees. A tormented whisper grasped the edge of every living thing, as if they were planning when i would meet my death. It filled my dreary head with droning confusion. The sound of twigs snapping around me, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I ran, trying to get away from this torturous place. The darkness hit my face like a rock as i found myself in a narrow cave-like passage. A chilling sense dawned upon me as i trod to take inky surroundings.
