...migrant sending and receiving countries; immigration policies; and cultural perceptions people in developing countries have about immigration and immigrant receiving countries. Indicate which of these you believe is the most important and second most important factors and explain why. 2-You are the newly appointed immigration advisor to the Obama administration. You have been asked to prepare a brief report for the President outlining what type of immigration admissions and control policies he should adopt in order to provide the U.S. economy with the immigrant labor it needs and reduce illegal immigration. Based on what you have learned in this class, what mix of immigration policies would you recommend and why? 3-Do the positive economic consequences of immigration outweigh its negative socioeconomic consequences for unskilled immigrants or vice versa? Think not just in terms of the wages immigrants receive, but also the type of jobs they do, the labor they provide, their long-term socioeconomic mobility, and how they are treated/perceived by mainstream American society (you do not have to necessarily focus on all these issues). This question is asking you to weigh the pros and cons of immigration for the immigrants themselves, not for American society. 4-Do you think negative public opinion toward immigrants is justified, for instance, the belief that immigration is bad for the American economy and that illegal immigration is out of control?

...massive immigration across regions, and civil war in many countries, are occurring, it is crucial that we find a way to stop or prevent further damages. It is inarguable that many of those unfortunate events are the results of our own actions. Therefore, it may be said that it is our duty (and probably karma) to find a way to co-exist not just with the world, but also among ourselves as individuals, communities, and states. And sustainable development might be just an answer for that. The term ‘sustainable development’ for many people may be understood as related to environmental matters only. However, in the eyes of scholars and practitioners,...

...country. Immigration to the United States has been a contentious topic of discussion recently. As more Muslims gravitate towards our country, many questions and concerns are surfacing. U.S citizens do not have any way of knowing the true intentions of the immigrating Muslims. Could welcoming Muslims here put us and the Constitution in danger? Is it morally wrong to block them all out? What could be a solution, if any? In his The National Review article, "Trump's Muslim Immigration Ban Should Touch Off a Badly Needed Discussion," Andrew McCarthy's thesis is that the United States' immigration policy will not be practical if we only treat Islam as a religion and do not acknowledge the dangers sharia could potentially bring here. McCarthy has three main points to his argument. First, McCarthy states Islam is not solely a religion. Since there is no division between church and state, Islam is a system that defines politics, in contrast to our Constitution. Next, the United States is not constitutionally obligated to welcome immigrants into the country. We have the right to reject...

...GEOG 1410 Practice Questions for December 2013 Exam Lecture 1 1. What is the difference between place and space? By definition, a place is both an objective location that is unique and interdependent with other places as well as a subjective concept tied with personal emotion and meaning, created through human experience. On the other hand, spaces are more abstract and are not associated with any social value or connections. 2. What is the defining component of globalization? Explain. The defining component of globalization centers on the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence between places around the world through social, cultural, economic, political, and technological change. Such changes inevitably alter the human experience of place and space and leads to shifts of thinking from one population to the next. Over time, cultures begin to overlap and influence each other and this influence plays immense roles in the development of independent nations’ political and economic systems as well as the well being of their people. Lecture 2 3. Define “chorology” and the importance of a “chorological view” to Geography. Chorology is defined as “the study of regions and spaces”. The modern discipline can be traced back to 18th century philosophers: Immanuel Kant believed all knowledge could be divided into either geography (classifying things according to space) or history (classifying things according to time). Geography was seen at first only in terms of exploration...

This article is very intriguing “plain a key difference in the myth-making of the two North American countries. ‘If a creation story explains, often in mythic terms, how a people came to a place and claimed it as their own, then Turner’s frontier thesis became the creation story of the U.S.´ this quotes also sum itself on what Slatta is saying this article about myths in the American history and present. Looking this myths and comparing to what I think of another city full myth like Paris, a person start to understand why Paris back in the 20s and 60s have a very different meaning to foreigners to Paris. Paris in a way represent France because of its size, population, Capitol city and by far the most vibrant city in Europe today and back in 20s and 60s.

What was the driving force that facilitated a meeting of the minds after centuries apart? INTRODUCTION The Catholic Church and Protestants have not had the greatest of relationships. In fact since the reformation, Protestants were not even considered brothers within the realm of the Catholic Church. Within the pages of Vatican II one can find a decree to not refer to them as brothers. However something new has occurred and this is what this paper will aim to delve into. While not attempting to be an exhaustive work regarding the meeting of the minds. It would seem that Baptist and Catholics have started talks across denominational lines. This paper will focus on why this meeting took place and what can other denominations gleam from these talks. CATHOLIC CHURCH “Over the past three decades...

A Case Study in the Ports of Hamburg, Rotterdam, Le Havre and Felixstowe. Part I: Introduction (2 – 3 pages) 1.1 Background of the study 1.2 Research Objectives 1.3 Research Methodology 1.4 Structure of the thesis Part II: Theoretical Research (30 pages) Objectives: This thesis is mainly focused on the complexity of the intersection between the ERP Systems and the PCSs. The theoretical research should help to explain the characteristics of Port Community System and the ERP integration. An in-depth, multi-disciplinary literature review will be conducted to assess the need, challenges and opportunities of developing the ERP integration for Port Community Systems. Comment: I think ERP could be considering especially on the PCS perspective, not as Enterprise system software. I mean ERP as a business management software for PCS operators and a suite of integrated applications for port community users. Considering the ports as Business Ecosystem I would like to find out the role and scope of the ERP Integration for PCS. 2.1 Port Community Systems (Structure is needed, e.g.: 2.1.1, 2.1.2, etc.) Definition PCS Evolution of PCS Why choose to have a Port Community System Which types of users make use of the systems?

...CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research Background The competition between Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) and Full Service Carrier is getting intense caused by the process of liberalization in aviation field. In the case of Malaysia, the entries of LCCs, Air Asia, Firefly and Malindo have raised the number of passengers travelling inbound or outboard of the destination. According to Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad (MAHB) Annual Report 2009, the passenger movement of AirAsia for domestic traffic at KLIA increases to 5,588,493 passengers which is an increment of 10.6 percent compare to 2008. For the aviation sector, there is a significant growth of 16.6 percent, from 24.2 million passengers in 2009 to 28.2 million passengers in 2010. No doubts, airlines and airport are tightly related. This can be shown from the statement of Neufville & Odoni (2003), airport systems exist and must be designed in the context of their major clients, the airlines. To build airport facilities that will perform effectively, it is necessary both to appreciate the historical context and to understand the current and prospective needs of the users. Airports and air transport at the start of the twenty-first century constitute an exciting long-term growth industry. The industry is large, innovative, and has excellent prospects. The growth in air transport translates into major airport projects. And about a dozen major programs for airport development, costing over a billion dollars each, have...
