noted for his satirical description of these plain people that Evans belonged to. The xenophobia that befell these plain people was given justification with the first postwar Red Scare, or fear of Communism and its believers, and the conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti to execution. A letter written to the national Crime and Law Enforcement Commission validates this claim by declaring that “much the greater part of the vicious forms of crime are committed by recent immigrants” (document 3). These immigrants

The Orphan Trains: Feeling Small Traveling up to 60 miles per hour in a chain of iron boxes weighing several hundred tons altogether can make you feel quite small; and even smaller if you didn’t have any control of the destination. It was a tight fit in each train car due to the thirty to forty other orphans packed in together with two to three adults. There was a strain on all orphans involved in this program. The orphan trains were a bitterly imperative movement put in place to disperse the population

For example, some researchers (Bernardin, Cooke, & Villanova, 2000; Schaubroeck and Lam, 2002) believe that personality can influence the performance rating scale, while other researchers (Ployhart, Eiechmann, Schmitt, Sacco, & Rogg, 2003) believe cultural differences can influence the validity of performance ratings.

Immigration and Nativism in the United States In the United States, the cliché of a nation of immigrants is often invoked. Indeed, very few Americans can trace their ancestry to what is now the United States, and the origins of its immigrants have changed many times in American history.

Failure to Protect Laws and their Harmful Effects on Abused Mothers Violence against women has been, and continues to be, a problem in the United States. Domestic violence especially is a large part of today’s society. It accounts for 21% of all violent crime (Truman & Morgan, 2014), and one in three women have experienced physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner in their lifetime (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). Three women lose their lives to domestic violence every
