Social Injustices Of The United States

Anzia Yezierska provided readers a small glimpse into the world of immigrant life during the progressive era in her novel, Arrogant Beggar. Though narrator of the story, Adele, was an American born citizen— she was immersed in a world similar to the experience of one of immigrant status. Throughout her story, we see how social class, ethnicity, and political factors play a part in daily life of early nineteenth century Americans. Her journey is a reflection of what many young immigrants experienced in their search for freedom, prosperity and “The American Dream.”

Through interviewing my roommate Linda Wang, I have gotten the opportunity of hearing a first-hand account of what it is like being a young immigrant living in the United States. At the age of eight, Linda, along with her father, mother, and aunt, emigrated to America. Linda’s family currently resides in Bayside, Queens and she is a student-athlete on the St. John’s women’s golf team. Linda was kind enough to share her immigration story with me so that I may use it as a manifestation of what life as an immigrant, and the immigration process itself, entails.

The Smolinsky family soon discovers the difficulties that come with being immigrants in America. Discrimination is one such problem. The family lives in an apartment building and they encounter discrimination from the rent collector. The Smolinskys, because of financial problems, cannot pay the rent regularly and when the landlady shows up on their doorstep, she is upset and says, "The cheek of those dirty immigrants! A fool I was, giving them a chance another month" (17). These words are a far cry from the father’s expectation that "all America will come to my feet to learn" (9). Discrimination is certainly not what the family expects upon their arrival in America. They expect a welcome with open arms and what they receive is just the opposite.

Through these principles, laws were made to give everyone equal and fair treatment.

Third, the issue and event that I found in my preliminary research leads me to an insight of how Islamophobia is type of social inequality in America. The development the fear of Islamophobia was due to the act of nine eleven in America. This was a terrorist attack the took down and collapsed the Twin Towers. In which people in America began to develop detestation for Muslims individuals. This got huge media coverage and develop fear that ever one that follows Islam as a religion must be loathed (Holman & Silver, 2011).

Because Mr. Trump recognized these immigrants only bring drugs and crimes to the U.S., and they occupied a large number of jobs which made the unemployment rate increasing currently.
