...Argument Summary of Digital Natives and Immigrants Nancy K. Herther’s article titled “Digital Natives and Immigrants: What the brain research tells us” discusses what brain research shows regarding the generation of digital natives. A digital native is anyone who was born into technology. A digital immigrant is a user over 30 who was not born into technology but may use it. Herthers research is centered on the idea that digital natives are different genetically and there is a generation gap. Using neuroscience studies Herthers looks into whether the digital natives generation is different genetically or has just learned and adopted. Herthers uses different studies and scientist or psychologist to answer this debate. The research indicates there is in fact no genetic difference instead there is just a gap between generations. Therefore Herthers believes there is no evidence to support this claim that digital natives are genetically different than any past generations, there is simply a generational gap. Herthers introduces this debate as to how different the digital natives are from digital immigrants, and whether this difference is due to a generational gap or a genetic difference. Herthers then uses research to answer this debate; the research goes into the differences between Digital Natives and Immigrants. The research includes how both digital natives and immigrants think, socialize, and how their brains might work differently. Herthers...

Skilled workers play a vital role in the growth of the Canadian economy and range from general skilled workers, professionals as well as business immigrants and foreign investors. There is evidence demonstrating that immigrants do experience some challenges assimilating and this does cause some fiscal burden as more social support is required.

...SUMMARY OF FACING POVERTY WITH A RICH GIRL’S HABITS TIA JACKSON ENGLISH COMPOSTION 115 January 19, 2016 After decamping a luxurious North Korean lifestyle, Suki Kim and her family were forced to quickly adapt the American culture after fleeing their home country. In the biographical essay, Kim explained various inequalities of her new American lifestyle and the difficulties immigrants face when adapting the American culture. Kim specified that were once affluent Korean lifestyle drastically changed. Not only because her family moved to America, but also because her family’s social status changed. Korean Immigrants considered to be “well-off” in Korea were identified and held to a different standard than those in Kim’s new social prominence. Although Kim’s essay is very informal, the information included is extremely informational thought provoking. Overall, Kim’s essay on her transition to America gives a detailed description on how troublesome, yet rewarding an abrupt innovation of American can be. American culture is known for its disparities to other known and unknown cultures around the world. Not only is the American culture divergent, it can also be abrasive to those unknown to its cultural beliefs. For example, Suki Kim and her family were forced to grasp the harsh languages of American society at an early age. In the American culture there is a popular phrase, “Kids can be cruel!” In the essay, Kim described an incident of name calling; in which a peer...

Some might even say the early settlers where the first illegal immigrants. Ever since September 11, 2001 illegal immigration has become an issue in the forefront. With Hispanics coming across the borders in large numbers, some people (myself included) are concerned with how easy it would for terrorists to enter. Being married to a Hispanic female who immigrated to this country legally as a child and having a brother-in-law who is employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, I have a direct attachment to this issue. I also deal with illegal immigrants as a peace officer. I have always seen those who are here illegally as a federal government issue until such time as they commit a crime. I also believe that deporting the millions of illegal immigrants here is a task that would require more resources than we have, not to mention that it would be almost impossible to complete. Amnesty for those already here who are not...

...Essay summary: Suki Kim’s “Facing Poverty with a Rich Girls Habits” Facing Poverty with a Rich Girls Habits is an insightful essay published in New York by the author Suki Kim. In this essay, she shares various challenges that she had to overcome in order to adapt to a new life of poverty and cultural diversity in New York after leaving behind her affluent and luxurious life in South Korea. This article discusses the author’s point of view as 13-year-old Korean immigrant who moved to United States out of desperation and financial tragedy rather than in search of a better life. The author’s main idea in this essay is to convey the message that the foundation of divided immigrant groups, cultural differences and generation gap are so deeply rooted even in the United States that it is impossible to eradicate them from the mindset of people. The author emphasizes on the fact that her wealthy and sheltered background in Korea created confusion. Thus, making it difficult for her to identify with people’s perception of her race in America “One new fact that took more time to absorb was that I was now Asian, a term that I had heard mentioned only in social studies class”, stated author Suki Kim in her article. She continued, “In Korea, yellow was the color of the forsythia that bloomed every spring along the fence that separated our estate from the houses down the hill. I certainly never thought of my skin as being the same shade.” The author struggled to accept the fact that...

This chapter also talks about the growing population and expanding economy in British North America. The most important fact about eighteenth-century colonial America is its remarkable population growth. New England's population increased six fold during the eighteenth century and Natural increase was most responsible for the growth of New England's population during the eighteenth century. Immigrants came to the middle colonies for the perceived economic opportunities. Key Words: Scots-Irish They were a group of restless people who fled their homes in Scotland in the 1600’s to escape poverty and religious oppression. They first relocated to Ireland and then to America in the 1700s. They left their mark on the backcountry of Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia.

...Assignment 1.2: Summary and Personal Response In “Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits,” (Kim, 2004) the author, Suki Kim, writes about the struggles she faced as an impoverished, South Korean, immigrant teen in the 1980’s. Suddenly Kim’s world is turned upside down and she must find a way to survive in a foreign land. She writes emotionally about trying to find a place to fit in with other teens like herself while learning a new language and culture. The writer’s purpose is to tell the story of her difficult transition from rich to poor in a foreign country. She wrote her story in the form of a memoir to reach others like her, immigrants starting over in foreign countries, but also, to anyone who may have ever felt alone and lost in new surroundings. She used a reflective tone as she emotionally described the experiences she went through. Kim starts her story by telling readers about how her life changed in the blink of an eye. Her wealthy family suddenly lost everything when her father lost his businesses and, to avoid prison time, left their beautiful estate in South Korea, fleeing to America with nothing. They settled in Queens, New York in the upstairs of a small house. Things were very different from that to which she was accustomed. She no longer had the luxuries from her rich life; riding the bus instead of being driven, washing her own clothes, and cleaning up her own messes, no governess to help with homework. In school, she joined the English as...
