2 years ago, I planted a church alone in Banning, my motive for starting a church in Banning area was that there was no Korean church in spite of what some Korean immigrants stay in that area. I really wanted to help and serve Korean immigrants, who live in marginal circumstances and think that they are strangers in the US. However, as soon as I started a church, I realized that I did not know enough knowledge and being trained for church planting although I started with strong passion for that. Fortunately, some people came into the church as members, but I want to know what are the essential parts for planting a church scholarly and practically. In my opinion, church planting hugely relates to not only leadership but also mission, so researching
“I am Korean. South Korean to be exact.” These were the words I would always use to describe myself during new encounters. My race seemed to be what people noticed about me first. Whether I was at a leadership conference, church, or cross country event, there was always someone asking where I was from. For this reason, being an immigrant from Korea has been a big part of my identity as an individual and student.
Bob and Rusty Russell's book: When God Builds A Church, gives practical advice for growing a church in the modern world. Throughout the ten chapters, they give ten ideas for how to do this. Having had success with their Southeast Christian Church in Kentucky, these ten points are shown to work. The first point that is given in chapter one is to have a firm confidence in the truth. In Johns gospel he says: "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth."
In the United States, we are known as a nation with equal rights. However, in our history, public issues arise jeopardizing the difference between the common good and individual rights. The Chinese Exclusion Act was one issue that was very controversial. Many people immigrate to our nation as a new start, a new beginning. In the Western United States, many immigrants were from China. Nativists believed America is for Americans only and no other race. This made many people hostile and discriminate Chinese people. Eventually, the Chinese Exclusion Act was signed by Chester A Arthur barring Chinese people wishing to immigrate to America. This violated their individual rights because they thought it was for the common good, however it violated our constitution. Violating their individual rights, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion act, disabling many chinese people to emigrate back to America which resulted in opposition and hatred, even though America believed it was for the common good. I believe it was unconstitutional as many Chinese people had no power to voice their opinion.

The 1924 law reaffirmed the 1880s legislation barring Chinese immigrants and added Japanese and other Asians to the list of the excluded. But it left open immigration from the Western Hemisphere. Farmers in the Southwest demanded continued access to cheap agricultural labor, and during the 1920s some 500,000 Mexicans crossed the border. In addition, Congress in 1924 passed the Indian Citizenship Act, which extended suffrage and citizenship to all American Indians. Indian veterans of World World I had already been made citizens, but now Congress deemed every Indian worthy of participating in American democracy.
Many people of several ethnicities have immigrated to America to start a new life, such as Lawrence Kim, a simple accountant who also goes by the name of Sung Won Kim. Born in the small town of Chin Hae-Si, South Korea, he spent most of his life there with his mother and father. Unfortunately, he was born during the nighttime, so his birth date is recorded with the moon calendar, and the dates change every year. While in Korea, Kim worked through his regular life as a student, and later, as a soldier in the Korean Army Reserve. In Asia, most men are sent to the military at the age of eighteen, because of a mandatory draft.
This article focuses on the healthcare seeking behaviour of Korean immigrants in Toronto. Also it discusses the transnational healthcare activities with their home country Korea, for various reasons like individual characteristics, the barriers of accessing local healthcare system, etc. The new environment has brought multi-dimensional effects to immigrants’ health. Their health is being influenced compositionally and contextually during the process of accessing healthcare system. Immigrants are then putting efforts to maintain and use the transnational ties for their needs in managing their health and well-being, which reveals the current existing barriers on reaching the healthcare system.

Around the mid-19th to the 20th century, myriads of immigrants flocked to the U.S. seeking better job opportunities,or searching for religious freedom. U.S. citizens were fearful, envious, and willing to exclude immigrants who came to the US as they were viewed as an economic threat to the society. They believed that these immigrants were racially, morally and intellectually inferior to them and as such did not see or treat as their equals. These dysfunctions lead to severe and harsh treatment of immigrants. Historically, the three major immigrant groups that faced the most discrimination during this era were the Asians, German, and the Irish. American citizen’s fear of job secureness led to the resentment and discriminatory treatment towards Asian Immigrants. They believed that the majority of the Asian American immigrants were taking too many of their jobs. As such, the U.S. government decided that it would be necessary to restrict the amount of Asian Americans, in order to keep the U.S. citizens from being unemployed. The U.S. government passed numerous laws, banning Asian American immigrants from the United States. One distinct law that they passed was the 1922 Cable Act, this law “stripped a female citizen of citizenship, if she married an alien unable to become a citizen.”(Lutz 7).The law was basically passed to prevent Asian immigrants from obtaining citizenship by marrying a female U.S citizen.In fact, the government believed that female citizens that engaged in this
On the topic of immigration, Donald Trump has stated, "But you have people coming in and I 'm not just saying Mexicans, I 'm talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they 're coming into this country." On the same issue, Hillary Clinton has said the following: “I’ve talked about undocumented immigrants hundreds of times and fought for years for comprehensive immigration reform… We are a country built by immigrants and our diversity makes us stronger as a nation — it’s something to be proud of, celebrate, and defend.” As shown through the radically different perspectives highlighted in the aforementioned passages, the topic of immigration policy has quickly become the most prominent discussion of the upcoming election. How then do we evaluate the immigration policies proposed by the likely Presidential nominees, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, given our country’s founding principles? The answer to this question lies in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Our nation’s legal documents should be used to evaluate their immigration views because they are the basis of our country and the values America embodies. Given America’s founding principles of equality, freedom and equal protection under the law as stated in our country’s Declaration of Independence and Constitution, extreme protectionist immigration laws contradict our nation’s founding principles. In comparison to Donald Trump’s overt and impractical anti-immigrant
Canadian 's immigration policies have been known to discriminate based on ethnicity. are speaks a lot to how Canadians shifted in accepting more immigrants, not necessarily because of an expanded view and approval for other ethnicities, but for labor and economic reasons. The post-war era required skillful workers, and now that European migration stalled Canada removed tightly bound racist policies ( Source 2). Before and during World War two, Canada 's immigration Acts particularly the Chinese Immigration Act (1923) were both extremely exclusive and racist. From 1900 to 1965 Canada 's immigration policy favored the British, American and European immigrants. This is what has given Canada the narrative of a "white man 's country". It wasn 't until Diefenbaker and Pearson government 's revised the immigration acts and removed Anglo-European preference. Once immigration expanded to non-European countries Canadians thought their racist roots had perished, however, racist attitudes are still alive.
With the founding of the United States government, many Americans have expressed a variety of attitudes towards those who differ from the majority culture. Furthermore, as can be seen throughout America 's history, one can pull many example of how Americans have acted towards the "other". For instance, "many Americans began to fear that the immigrants had been coming faster than they could become good Americans and be made part of American life" which provides a way of seeing how Americans felt about those traveling into the country at that time. Moreover, these attitudes towards different types of cultures were placed into policy making, religions, and languages that differed from the majority.
The Restriction of Immigration in the United States Immigration should be restricted in the United States. There are many political, social, and economic reasons why restrictions should be put on immigration. The United States Government and the welfare of its citizens are chaotic enough, without having to deal with the influx of thousands of new immigrants each year. Along with the myriad immigrants to the U.S., come just as many economic problems. Some of these problems include unemployment, crime, and education.
“Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity,” says the 43 Governor of Florida. While being only 13% of the population, Immigrants encompass 16% of the labor force, thus adding to our gross domestic product or GDP. Some People may think that immigration has a negative impact on our economy. These people believe that by Immigrants having a high employment rate, native-born citizens are being pushed out of jobs, but that’s not true.
