The American dream becomes increasingly difficult to imagine as we become more diverse. With the variety of cultures, religions, races, and ethnicities, our diversity clouds our perceptions of what it truly means to be an American. And no, being an American does not entail becoming a conservative, gun toting, country music fanatic who drives a truck. No matter how bigoted some of us may be, we are far more complicated than how others perceive us. America, and its citizens, old and new, have been

refugees. While Syrian immigrants only makes up for about .01% of our population, in much smaller countries such as Tukey they make up around 5%. According to the United Nations, Turkey has taken in an estimated 2.2 million, Lebanon 1.1 million, and Jordan six hundred and thirty thousand (John

This small conflict found within this international Church assembly which took place in 1955 is a useful illustration of a much larger component of the conflict of faith in Israel which exists in the international Christian sphere, and is one of many manifestations throughout history of the tension between East and West Christianity. The most obvious source of these differences of thought is simply geographic disconnect. The split between the East and West Christian traditions had been solidifying

In the passage of canonic book, Torah and the rest of the Bible it is clearly explain that Israel is the promised land by the Supreme being where the Jewish fated. For all over the time before the Zionist movement raise, Jews everywhere keeping their eyes remain fixed to the Jerusalem (Rubin, n.d.).

There was a few political factors that had begun the Six Day War such as the refusal to accept Jewish authority in the Middle

A friend of mine named Marc worked as a producer, making films, animation shorts and a TV series for one of the Canada's largest TV broadcasters. Not long after he first became a follower of Jesus, he noticed something staggering in an Old Testament story. 'I was re-reading the story of the exodus from Egypt,' he recounts this illustration to me one day as we were grabbing a cup of coffee in downtown Toronto. 'I'd been trying to work out how a filmmaker like me could use his gift for the Lord. Then

What's the feature you notice most about a person when you first meet them? What their clothes look like? Voice? Skin tone? Personality? You can’t define someone from the color of their skin or where they are from. In present time this has become a big issue accusing a certain group of people of associating with certain groups just because of where they are from.

The Irish potato famine and The Syria migration crisis. In this essay I will compare the Irish Potato famine with the current migration crisis that is happening in Syria. I will demonstrate how this two can relate to each other by comparing the similarities in their history to see what lead them to this dilemma and how they did/can find a solution to the terrible problem. We are going to analyze the government of Ireland between the years of 1840-1850. The government in the winter of 1846 allowed

Since the year of 1948, the state of Palestine became known as the state of Israel, but whatever happened to the Palestinians. Since then clashes have occurred between the two nations and Israel created walls, checkpoints, no passing zones, and illegal settlements but when a Palestinian stand up for his or her rights, he or she is automatically labeled as a blood shedding terrorist. The media had an enormous impact on this situation of course. When one just switches the remote, his eyes open and

Conclusion- Summary of first two paragraphs. We are witnesses to terrible injustices. As Israel responds to real and perceived threats, the Palestine's of the West Bank in Gaza remain dominated by military occupation or under siege, subjected to violent military incursions, and continually traumatic lost. We are witnesses to the world's impotence to achieve justice. Stone by stone, Israeli settlement in the West Bank expand seizing land and water, reducing Palestrina's hope, and increasing their
