...study UNISON is Britain and Europe’s biggest trade union that represents the 1.3 million strong workforce. The case study explains in the details, the analysis of the PEST analysis of the Migrant Workers Participation Project that is being run by them in U.K now. As a part of EU, U.K allows immigration of workforce from all E.U countries except Romania and Bulgaria. UNISON intends to enroll these immigrants as a part of their organization, so that they are aware of the laws and regulations of the country. The immigrants would come to know through this about their legally allowed working hours, taxes etc., which otherwise they wouldn’t have asked their employees, fearing losing their jobs. They also intend to help migrant workers overcome issues in various different ways, e.g. producing workers’ rights leaflets in 11 different languages. It also intends to enlighten the employers about the issue and help them in communicating to their immigrant worker population. This is being done as the immigrant population has benefited the U.K economy by adding workforce in various fields, which were otherwise being done by the ageing U.K population. This has also benefitted U.K because of the greater work ethic, which the immigrants bring along. 2. Explain the purpose and benefits of PEST analysis.

Although the government, known as the Party, in the novel certainly differs from our government today. Some of the rhetoric the novel uses have connections with those used by our major presidential candidates, Donald Trump and HiIlary Clinton.

...Policy Analysis I CJA 464 October 7th, 2013 Policy Analysis I The constant battle of illegal immigration is a major issue in the United States that has been a constant issue for many years. The issues of illegal immigration are described as the migration of foreign citizens into the United States of America. This is done through illegal routes, such as hiding on boats porting in the United States, crossing through miles of treacherous terrain illegally to jump the borders of Mexico, and violating the agreement of a tourist visa as well as illegally boarding planes bound for the United States. It is a known fact that the men and women who enter this country do not meet the legal requirements to enter the United States from foreign countries. The research conducted will describe the issues of illegal immigration, whether the current policy is a regulatory or legislative-initiated policy, and the issue with the policy. A review of the possible constitutional violations will be described as well as if this issue or policy will affect the community, the accused, and the victims of any crimes committed by the illegal immigrants. The Issue The policy makers of the American government typically will take multiple routes in taking care of these issues before needing to develop a policy that will assist in combatting the concerns of the government. The existing immigration policies have been active for many years and for that same amount of time the policies have been questioned...

...Sample Research Paper on Citizenship Introduction Citizenship is being defined as the relationship between the state and individuals. Historically citizenship is being inevitably linked with the state formation. Originally citizenship was denoting residence of people within protected walls of a city. Thus, whoever belonged to a community residing inside the boundaries was considered a citizen. Later this term has acquired a different meaning and the standards and definitions of citizenship have changed. There were many reasons that have caused such changes: history proceeded with its migrations, wars and annexation and along on its way brought new meanings to citizenship. Such change in definition, for example, can be found in suffrage granted to women and the nonpropertied classes. Paupers, convicts and soldiers are another example of how political and civil rights were once a privilege of certain classes only (Dahrendorf, 1974, p. 11). With the introduction of mass democracy and social protection as well as introduction of welfare state a need in the new conception that would look on the relationship on an individual and the state appeared consequently. The norms of citizenship, therefore, have improved with the development of state and citizenship became a multination concept, which implies different things to different nations (Dahrendorf, 1974, p. 12). According to Michael Ignatieff (1995), the introduction of the welfare state can be explained as an attempt to make citizenship...

...Western immigrants in japan Name: Institution: Professor: Course: Date: Title The title of this research proposal is; investigation into the current trend of Japanese immigration. Introduction The wave of globalization has been associated with an increase in cross-border relocations for goods, capital and human resources. The movement of people however in the post-world war attracted the attention of most of the industrialized nations of the west. Terrorist attacks of September 2011 initiated the review of immigration laws. Studies show that most of the industrialized states which tend to receive the highest number of immigrants are currently in the process of revising their demographic structures. They are characterized by an aging and shrinking population with consequences being evident in their work force. UNPD report of 2000 regarding replacement migration in the industrialized nations shows vividly the replacement is important to maintain the level of employed to that of the unemployed (Coleman, 2000). Japan being amongst fastest industrialized nations of the world is reported to experience high number of immigrants from the western countries. If demographic factors such as fertility and retirement age are not revised, the country will need a high labor immigration to maintain its workforce. Its political leaders are however reluctant in embracing measures to open doors for such immigrants. The country still continues to bar the entry of foreigners...

...The objective of this paper is to describe “immigrants are often seen as either crafty competitors for jobs or pitiful, hapless victims of ruthless employers” (Kim 2009:510). The discussion will be carried out by using ‘Mama’s family’ as background which describes the fictive kinship and undocumented immigrant restaurant workers and by using Burrell and Morgan’s (1979) paradigm framework to support my analysis. The Burrell and Morgan’s (1979) paradigm framework can be used as a difference perspective or thought which to differentiate how we view immigrants as (1) crafty competitors for jobs or (2) victims of ruthless employers. This analysis will be conduct through two dimensions provided by Burrell and Morgan (1979) of the combination of the assumption of the nature of science and the assumption of the nature of society. In the combination, the assumption for the nature of science is in term of subjectivist and objectivist dimension whilst for assumption for the nature of society in terms of regulation-change dimension. Burrell and Morgan (1979) define those four...

...Do we as Americans make immigrants feel like outsiders? A flashback into 2012 reminds us Americans of our newly elected President Barack Obama, the outrage cry for equality in gay marriage, and the controversial death of Trayvon Martin. For authors Michael Jones-Correa and Louis Mendoza- 2012 however, was a year for increased immigration as well a time for equality with immigration. Both authors raise questions for its proposed audience. While Jones-Correa purpose is to inform and Mendoza to persuade, both prove to be very convincing in their arguments. Although both writers seem to be credible and effective in logical reason, Author Louis Mendoza achieves a more effective rhetorical analysis through his use of emotional appeal. Jones-Correa being a professor of government at Cornell University automatically has a strong set level of credibility. As well as being the co-author of the book “Latino Lives in America: Making It Home”. However, to strengthen his credibility he takes an informative stand point for his targeted audience. With an informative piece and/or standpoint its sole purpose is to do exactly that, inform. Relying solely on fact based interpretation, thus leaving no room for bias in his article. Keeping bias out of his work...

...come illegally to USA? Illegal immigrants in the US are the most marginalized work force and citizens. While they provide cheap labor and sustain the US economy, they are denied basic education and are unable to participate in voting. Fears of getting caught, and their lack of awareness of their rights prevent them from engaging civically in their communities. These facts hinder them from integrating into US society. Instead they form a “shadow” society which ultimately contributes to disintegration of society overall. The goal of my research is to help these individuals (who do not have rights as citizens but do deserve basic human rights) to learn about the laws of this country and, in spite of being here illegally, the rights and duties which belong to them. The first step is to understand what external factors affect them and to analyze the common profile of illegal immigrants and their tendencies. Indirect /Direct Method My plan is: To conduct a survey in the Indianapolis area, randomly select individuals through the Westside of Indianapolis. The main purpose of the quantitative analysis is to find out whether there is correlation between their legal status and desire to return to their home country, desire to obtain US citizenship, level of participation in their communities and level of happiness in the US. My survey will include both legal and illegal immigrants. In this way we are able to compare and...

...One of the articles evaluated is, “Illegal Aliens and Violent Crime: Some Amazing Facts”. This article was written in 2017 by Tom Tancredo of Breitbart, an online media source. It was presented as a national news story. The second article to be evaluated is a peer reviewed article titled, “Immigrants Commit Less Crime than Native-Born Americans”. It was written by Veronika Bondarenko and Skye Gould in 2017. This article was a national news story and appeared in Business Insider Magazine. Analysis of Article from Breitbart Before reading one word of this article it can be determined from the article’s accompanying photograph that it will play towards social conventions and sets the tone of the content. The picture is one of many poorly dressed individuals who look like immigrants packed into a room, small in size, some with their arms raised high in the air in what encourages the reader to envision thoughts of defiance. This picture serves the purpose of “priming the mind” for what is to come. This is only the first example of sociocentric thinking which is evident throughout the article. Lack of Supporting Facts It is clear that this story is written to appeal to a group possessing specific...

...Analysis After researching, collecting, and analyzing information on African immigration to the United States, it is evident that our society needs more help in adjusting immigrants to American life and making them feel accepted. The research that I did and the piece of information that I have found has helped build my knowledge in becoming socially aware of society around me. It has opened my eyes to the lack of knowledge most of the world has on immigration and it shows me that something needs to change. The items that I have collected have helped me understand more about African immigration specifically compared to other ethnicities that are coming to America. The first week I looked at the difference between Africans and African-Americans. The article I found was very interesting because it talks about the stereotypes African people are forced onto because of their skin color, and how they are treated by Americans in a very unfair and unequal way. African immigrants feel as though they are looked down upon and automatically thought to be of a lower class because of their skin color. This article helped me understand the difference between the two types of immigrants, because often times they are looked at as being the same. The second week I looked at the reasons why African immigrants are coming to the United States, because I think the history behind the transition is important to this topic. I looked at sources from the Library of Congress, and African...

Introduction - The great May Day marches of 2007 began a new social movement on the issue of immigration. Its outpour forced US citizens to consider the existence of immigrant workers in society.

LA police suddenly attacked 7000 peaceful demonstrators. Paralleled an earlier episode of LA police misconduct- Marked a turning point in Chicano Moratorium - 40 years ago the nations perception of the marchers was not crucial Today, the medias portrayal of immigrant rights is key to the public perception and to the ultimate success of this new social movement. - Research on television news representation has underscored its power in the framing of social movements, Latinos and immigrants.

...Immigrants face many hardships when they first arrive in America to seek out the American Dream. They have to become accustomed to a different lifestyle and culture. For most immigrants assimilation is very difficult, however, the transition is significantly easier for their children when they grow up in America. For the children, the American culture may be the only thing they are familiar with, whereas the parents try to keep their native culture and find that assimilating into and adapting the American culture to be very difficult.
