...“Here in America, we don’t give in to our fears. We don’t build up walls to keep people out.” (Obama). These words of Michelle Obama, recent first lady of the United States, interprets that we do not let things come between us, because we do not build block pathways for people to be kept out. Michelle Obama mainly focuses her attention in social works and poverty, which had lead her into the path of wanting to be a lawyer. She has accomplished so much more, she is being relied on for children in America to have better education and live freely. In other words, current issues that have occurred in today’s society is the education-wise, equality rights, and relying on oneself, by standing in all of sticking to one stance. Although, Donald Trump...

...Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and his National-Socialist party came to power in 1933. This house is where they hid when the Nazi’s came to the Netherlands and anti-jewish measures were introduced. The Anne Frank House tells the story of Anne and her families lives and the ultimate destruction caused by Hitler and his extreme right-wing ideas. Upon exiting the museum, I passed the visitors book, where I wrote five words: “Donald Trump should come here.” The Oxford Dictionary defines the word 'trump' as an admirable or helpful person. Does that sound like a suitable word to be associated with such a right-wing extremist? Someone who uses racism to rise to power? Someone who proposes mass-deportation in order to make America great again? Someone who blames a specific group of people for all of his countries problems? Someone who has had no leadership or civics experience at all and is now running for President of the United States - one of the most influential positions of leadership in the world? No. I think a more suitable title for a man such as Donald Trump, should be Mein Trumpf. It is...

...rhetoric. Trump made untrue claims that allowed him to create distorted view of America where problems are exaggerated or fabricated and solutions are simplified. An example is when he said, “They’re [Mexico] sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime”(Donald Trump, “Donald Trump’s Presidential Announcement Speech”). According to the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, in this quote Trump was able to falsely single out Mexican immigrants as the cause of socio-economic problems plaguing white working class voters(Blakey). Trump was then able to swoop in and provide the seemingly simple solution of building a wall. This gave voters the ‘flattering’ impression that he understands their problems and has a surefire solution. President Trump also flattered voters by promising to redistribute power to the people. For instance, in his inauguration speech he...

...What does the message send to Americans and illegals by building a wall between the U.S.- Mexico border? Immigrants and their families came to the United States for a better life now are afraid to get caught by ICE and get deported back to their former country. While the president wants to build this wall, and keep U.S. citizens in and undocumented immigrants out. The idea of this wall shows how a nation would be divided by who wants to build the wall and why, the advantages and disadvantages. The person who wants to build this border wall is Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. Trump wants to get rid of all the illegal aliens and has said to “Make America Great Again” his plan is to build a wall and to keep undocumented citizens...

...In recent times, there has been extremely political, racial, and economic turbulence in the United States, especially with more recent events like Donald J. Trump's presidency. To many of us, these times symbolize a dark period where progress has been stifled for tradition and the future has become bleaker due to many people's resentment and hatred. Although many may never experience the negative outcomes of recent events, for others it is too real of a reality, a reality that is filled with fear, suffering, and a dystopian vision of America's future. Many people have experienced discrimination from Caucasian people, it is like they don’t care of others emotions and are being ignorant within each other. In this essay, I wish to accomplish the goal of showing how science fiction can overlap with reality and the ways in which people’s nightmarish imagination have become eerily prophetic. One of the books of science fiction that comes to mind is the works of Octavia Butler titled Parable of the Talents. In the book, Butler describes a future America torn apart by religious, economic, and civil unrest. Much like in the contemporary political arena where conservatives belittle...

...embracing of the American values. In his exact words, “It would tear communities apart and would send the wrong signals about America.” While researching and reading the transcript of this debate I felt a sense of political efficacy in regards to the topic on immigration. I am a hard-working American citizen and I have always had mixed feelings about immigrants living here. I believe the real issue lies in the fact that there are more illegal immigrants than there are legal and the ones that are legal are waiting in line who have as presidential candidate, Donald Trump stated, “gone through the process” to get to the United States. The other candidates as well as some American citizens would view the deportation force as un-American because America has always been a “with open-arms” country to willingly let people in to find a better lifestyle for their children and families. Therefore, with all of that being said, to forcefully deport 11 million immigrants back and tear up communities and families would be considered “un-American” but it is something that just has to be done if we want to get this country moving forward as Donald Trump mentioned. 2. Did your research reveal any response(s) from “legal” immigrants? If so, what has the reaction been? If not, what kind of impact do you think this debate has had on the psyche of immigrants in America? Be sure to substantiate your opinions. Response: According to my research on latimes.com, many people have voiced their...

...With the recent presidential election and all that went along with it, America is in turmoil. Everybody has a different opinion as to where the country should be headed, so confrontation between those on opposite sides of the spectrum is commonplace. The subject of the American Dream was one of many discussed in Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s race to the whitehouse. To many Americans, whether Republican or Democrat, that dream is dead. Steve Carey, author of the article “Don’t count on government for the American Dream”, falls into the same category. Carey’s article focuses on his belief that the government has become ineffective in upholding the American Dream. He emphasizes the importance of industrial and entrepreneurial involvement in government to bring back the nation’s most cherished ideal that has been lost amid economic troubles. This is the...

...TWO TYPES OF PROTESTS MY OPINION / BELIEF I strongly believe yes and no peaceful resistance to law is a positive and negative impact to a free society. Peaceful protests are the key to having your freedom of speech against federal law . History has proven what a peaceful protests can do and what a riot can cause. I strongly believe that whatever you stand for whether violent and nonviolent protesting; is a freedom you are given, although you need to know what you are actually standing for and not just another bandwagon effect. Peaceful protests can have a positive impact or a negative impact. I strongly believe peaceful resistance to law is a positive and negative impact to a free society.

...“Under the new system, a certain number of people were allowed entrance for labor, family unification and political asylum.” In other words, after these system came, more people started to immigrate to the U.S. illegally for job opportunities. The new system greatly restricts immigration from Mexico and Central and South Africa, and led to an increase in illegal immigration. “During the 1980s, illegal immigration and border security became the chief issue in the immigration debate.” Since for most of the immigrants was easier to cross the border. In 1996, Congress addressed illegal immigration from Latin America with laws that double the number of border control agencies, added fences in areas with heavy traffic and increased penalties for harboring or aiding illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration is an issue of law violation. However, immigration can have positive and negative impacts. For example, illegal immigrants benefit the U.S. economy through additional tax revenue, expansion of the low-cost labor pool, and increased money in circulation. In addition, immigrants will often do jobs that people in the country will not. Also, immigrant workers often work longer hours and...

...Due to comments recently made by President-elect Donald Trump, the future of women’s reproductive rights and Planned Parenthood, an organization that facilitates family planning services and reproductive healthcare to many low-income women, is a topic of national discussion. President-elect Trump has been openly pro-life throughout his campaign, and has also talked on many occasions about his wishes to cease federally funding Planned Parenthood as long as they continue providing abortions. Planned Parenthood provides many other vital, and often life-changing services to women outside of abortions, and the federal government should continue funding Planned Parenthood because all women have the right to those services if they choose to seek them....

...When I Googled nepotism, there was a slew of links on articles addressing nepotism in the White House. With the Trump White House arguably being more controversial than any other White House since Richard Nixon resigned as President, it is obvious why this has come to the forefront. Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump’s daughter, is the acting White House Senior Advisor. One may ask, “What’s the big deal?” The big deal is this question, “Is it possible for a family member to the president, to do their job as Senior White House Advisor objectively, considering the fact that her father is the President of the United States?” We can argue a very real case of undue influence when it comes time for Ivanka Trump to make decisions that affect America as a whole, and potentially, the world. According to Wikipedia, undue influence is defined thusly: “...in jurisprudence, undue influence is an equitable doctrine that involves one person taking advantage of a position of power over another person.” (“Johnson v. Buttress”). This is especially true of relationships such as father-daughter, husband-wife, etc. Technically, nepotism is defined by...

...Trump 1 I’ve decided to do this leadership profile assignment on the Donald Trump for several different reasons. First off real estate is my profession and it’s what I truly love and believe in. Also, I feel with the current economic situation that we are in; it would be a very interesting subject to report on. Since we are in the worst economy since the Great Depression and a terrible housing market, it would make it more interesting. However, there are some people like Donald Trump that are taking advantage of the economy and thriving and growing their business. Also, Donald has experienced his own rough times before. In the early 1990’s, he was billions upside down and on the verge of losing everything. Consequently, he worked his way out of it and has grown his business since. He has ventured into new businesses and has gone main stream into television. Since the Trump Organization operates in many different aspects of real estate including everything from: purchasing, brokering, and leasing, etc. I feel it would be excellent topic to do this assignment on. Donald has had many major accomplishments in his life and has plenty of failures as well. Most recently, he is known for his reality show “The Apprentice.” His show he is both the host and the producer. Each week contestants are given a task and if you are successful you will get to stay another week. If you team loses, one of your members will be brought back into the board room and someone will get...
