John Doe's Impact On Globalization

In the textbook The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore, the author illustrates about the lives of two young African-American men who share the same name: Wes Moore. They start their similar childhoods in Baltimore Maryland, with poverty, violence, drug game and fatherlessness. The author Wes Moore (Moore )became a Rhodes Scholar and a best-selling author, but the other Wes Moore ( Wes ) was sentenced to life in prison, The author Moore’s purpose in writing the story is to examine how two people with such similar backgrounds can end up with completely different lives. The author illustrates the way in which our destinies can be dictated by our environments. He claims that without the necessary resources, it is often not possible to make good decisions. He argues how people’s lives are influenced by their environment in which they live.

Leading a meaningful life meant breaking away from the fear of criticism or rejection; conforming to society limits Illgunas’ definition of life. Illgunas’ suburban upbringing makes the danger of social conformity clear to him. Surrendering to society would consequently cause him to completely lose himself. After graduating from high school, Illgunas and his classmates follow the conventional path towards a higher education. Illgunas explains, “My high school class and I moved like a school of fish: we graduates were capable of going off on our own, in whatever direction we chose, but something demanded we all swim as one…” (6-7). Parallel to the claim Illgunas makes, graduates that do not attend college are stigmatized. Society has created a paradigm: after graduating high school, students should attend a traditional four year university, and then enter the “career world.” In Illgunas’ perspective, people in

Two children named Wes Moore both dealt with “difficult childhoods” in Baltimore, states the back cover of The Other Wes Moore. From fatherless homes to trouble with the police, the Moores undoubtedly dealt with many struggles as they grew into adulthood. However, exactly what factor determined how one Wes Moore would go on to becoming a veteran and a business leader as well as venturing to places as the White House and Oxford, while the other Wes Moore spends the rest of his life in prison? What the two Wes Moores valued throughout their lives impacted their futures. This is because personal values are the most important factors in determining success or failure, as what a person treasures determine what decisions

Raised by his father Jacob, his mother died birthing his little brother, James. He did not let that deter him; nor did he allow his humble and poverty-struck beginning to define him. He did, however, take a different approach than some. Rather than focus on what he had to help him through his struggles, he focused on what he wanted. He had the goal of so many who dream the American Dream. Johnson wanted to establish himself and his family in the middle class, while paving the way for his children to do better. He planned on going to school and becoming, of all things, a lawyer. While he was not successful at becoming a lawyer—Johnson changed his major to education and worked as a teacher—he and his wife Charlotte would establish themselves solidly in the middle class. However, as all journeys do, his began with a single step. Graduating high school, he enrolled in college. Johnson was a sophomore at Central Oregon Community College (COCC) when, as far as he was concerned, the first black students began arriving. During an interview, Johnson had a slightly mischievous look in his eyes, as he remembered what he first thought. He stated that “they were nervous. It wasn’t the nerves from just entering college. They stuck out like a sore thumb” (Johnson, 2017). Indeed, in a school full of white people similar to him, the two students he saw were sure to stick

While attending school John did not only get good grades, he played basketball. The people in the African American culture in the 1960’s believed that the only way for a black person to get into college was to play sports for “the white man.” With many African Americans having this mind set, it pushed John to excel on

Additionally, my parent’s substantial economic and social capital was a great asset in my career path of finding a better education outside of my community. Professor Abrego explains that one’s social location shapes an individual’s identity and how one experiences how the world treats them (Abrego, Lecture 01/06/16). In my case, there were not as many resources that my social location offered, for this reason, my mother was determined to find another high school for me to attend, away from South Central. To emphasize, my local high school carried a bad reputation of teen pregnancy, gang violence, and lacked many resources, therefore, due to my mother’s strong social capital she managed to obtain a fake address in order for me to attend a better

Joe, 46, was born from poor Italian immigrant parents in Brooklyn, NY. His parents did not push education on him or his brother, who is four years Joe’s senior. As Joe entered into his second year of high school at a private catholic school in Manhattan, Joe’s father realized that school was not for his younger son Joe. Consequently, Joe’s father gave him and his brother $ 50-60,000, which they used to open and run a deli.

He had me moved to Florida, to live with my Aunt in Wesley Chapel. Much like the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” my father was afraid that I would acquaint myself with the wrong crowd, end up either in jail or overdosed on drugs; and thus had me moved to a predominantly white, upper class neighborhood. My father had seen many of his friends, as well as his wife (and my mother), associate themselves with people who made bad decisions, and thus made bad decisions themselves. He connected my own personal biography, to those he had seen before, and chose to rescue me from it. If I had not left Baltimore, I might have developed a drug addiction, have gotten involved in petty crime, or might have relied on welfare, much as I have seen transpire to my peers. Fortunately, my move to Wesley Chapel led me to the life and blessings I have today. I attended a High School with a 92% graduation rate (College Board 2015), in a predominantly white, upper-class neighborhood, surrounded by friends that have gone on to get their masters degree, as well as myself: who spent four years in the military before pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse at Galen College of Nursing. Instead of falling to the unfortunate fate that many tend to do in Baltimore, I rose to my achievements in Wesley Chapel, like those around me.

Buying or selling a house or an apartment is one of the biggest decisions of a person’s life. And when selling or establishing a price for real estate, people seek out real estate agents to do the dirty work. A real estate agent has to convince a prospective homeowner that he or she is trustworthy and knowledgeable. In many ways, the agent acts as a counselor to individuals and families about to embark on a huge commitment. Real estate agents have a thorough knowledge or real estate market in their community. They

“Real estate is a year-round opportunity to help countless people realize the American dream” (“Why Real Estate”, 2012). Eighty-five percent of buyers believe that home purchases are good financial investments, and a majority of homebuyers and sellers rely on the services and expertise of real estate professionals to assist them with their transactions (Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 2010). “The primary job description for an agent is communicating with potential clients to determine what kind of property they are looking for” (Richard, 2012). This means, setting up interviews with clients to see if the agents firm possesses property that meets the client’s specific needs. Once it is apparent exactly what the client is looking for, the agent sets appointments to show houses to clients and many times the agent physically accompanies couples while showing off properties.

As our friend Ali, an African American homeless man, told us his story, my eyes kept getting watery as we spoke to him. As Ali told us why he was in Pomona, about his family, and his past jobs, I kept thinking in my head about how maybe in a different life I could be in Ali’s shoes. Ali is originally from downtown Los Angeles, didn’t finish high school, his only get away was when he drew, and he ended up in the drug business because that was the only way he could make money to support himself. Although Ali kept trying to tell his story as if it is no big deal, I was able to identify how he was actually felt lonely and sad. I couldn’t help but think that just maybe if Ali had a teacher he was able to fall back onto when he needed the support to keep up with his education, that maybe he could have done something else with his life instead of selling drugs. An enormous amount of different scenarios played in my head as “if only”, but the reality was right in front of me. Meeting Ali further confirmed that I will never label a future student as a lost cause because everyone has the potential to be someone

One question always asks by people “How’s the real estate market?” it is significant that real estate agent and other real estate professional not provide a general response. They should response with full knowledge about the market. As professional it is not acceptable for real estate agent to say it is a seller’s market, or the banks are not offering loan right now, etc. A regular person may accept those answers, but prospector buyer may need to know why the market is down, or it is good time to invest in real estate, or why it is a seller’s market or why not buyer market? I will clarify these matters in real estate economic relations, so the prospector buyer can better appreciate why the markets are in

Until age nine, my family and I resided in a poverty-stricken neighborhood of Long Beach, California where gangs and criminal activity pervaded the streets. My father was the sole provider working as a cook, and my mother, formerly a caretaker for the elderly, became a full-time homemaker when I was born. Though my father was not home much, his strong work ethic and tenacity to improve our living conditions was admirable, as it enabled him to provide for us and help support family in Mexico. Since my mother did not drive, our limited income and transportation precluded them from supporting extracurricular activities. I did, however, excel in academics.
