Bob, According to Christina, John has shortened all CNA work schedules ( and possibly LVNs) to less than 12 hours. Several weeks ago John told employees their work schedule would change from 6:45 AM to 7:00 PM (for the night shift from 6:45 pm to 7:00 am), resulting in employees working less than a 12 hour shift and losing a total of 1.5 hours per pay period if they work 3 shifts per week. Originally the schedule was from 6:45 am to 7:15 pm to account for the half hour lunch break. According

These points of history must be fully appreciated if we are to understand the contour of anti-immigrant discourse that has categorized many immigration debates from mid-1960’s to present. The 1965 Immigration Act changed the face of America, the others being the Voting Rights Act and the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid, which collectively represent the high-water mark of twentieth-century American liberalism. Members of both departments had testified before Congress that few persons from the

Discussion Due to the large inflow of immigrants into the U.S. as a result of the 1965 Immigration Act, the U.S. has become a much more diverse country. As a result of increased exposure to foreign cultural groups, as well as a shift towards more educated and skilled immigrants, Americans have become more accepting of immigrants and hold much more favorable opinions towards immigrants than they did before 1965. This change in attitudes towards immigrants was evident in the change in campaigning

1. The ESEA Act of 1965 was enacted to offer equal educational opportunities to children from low income students with the help of Title 1 being the largest source of funding.

The voting acts right was signed and passed by our former United States President, Lyndon Johnson on August 6, 1965. The purpose of the act was to dispose of the discrimination that was being released mostly in the southern states after the civil war. The congress sought to ensure that all United States citizens were assured that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment were actually being used. There are two sections in the act that I am going to describe briefly. They are the fifth and fourth

The Voting Rights act of 1965 was established on August 6, 1965. This law was set to outlaw discrimination of voting practices adopted in many Southern States after the civil war, including literary test as a prerequisite to voting. The act was signed into law by former president Lyndon Johnson after a century of deliberate and violent denial of the vote to African- Americans in the South and latinos in the Southwest as well as many years of entrenched electoral systems that shut out citizens with

ruled this issue was Swain v. Alabama (1965), which virtually made it impossible for a defendant to prove that the prosecution was systematically discriminating on the basis of race or gender by putting the burden of proof on the defendant. In the case of Batson v. Kentucky (1986), the Supreme Court took into consideration two areas in examining this case – 1) the defendant made a timely and proper objection to the prosecution’s removal of all possible

I selected the 1965 Social Security Amendments (Medicare/Medicaid). Up until 1965 private insurance was available to the middle class as a source to pay health cost (Shi & Singh, 2015). The low-income, unemployed, and elderly did not have insurance to pay for their health cost and often delayed needed medical care due to cost (Shi & Singh, 2015). As a turning point, under President Lyndon B. Johnson, the 1965 amendments to Social Security was created and signed for Medicare and Medicaid. As result

Voting has been a fundamental right, and has changed over the past one hundred years to allow not only women but minorities to vote. However, in Texas there have been arguments about the revision of Section five of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Not only has Texas politicians accepted the new Voting Rights act, but the legislation itself has also been accused of redistricting parts of the state to aid voter turn out to the party in power. With the ever growing minority population, legislative action

The Summer of 1965 It was July of the year 1965, and I was experiencing the hottest summer of my life. The temperature rose to about 105 degrees and it wasn’t going lower any time soon. Although it was hot, my town of Mayfield was far out as any other town in the county. The grass was bright green, the trees and flowers were blooming with colors and overall added a nice vibe to the day. This sure was nicer than the cold winters that I had to live with during the earlier years of my life. The north
