In the United States, immigration is one of the most discussed issues because the number of immigrants moving to the country increases annually. The public’s attitude to this phenomenon cannot be explained as ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ because immigration is associated with a lot of challenges faced by both migrants and citizens in the United States. Many Americans agree that more effective policies are necessary to regulate the issue of the constantly increased immigration rates. However, the most urgent issue in this context is the problem of immigrants’ rights. On the one hand, the increased number of immigrants has changed the demographics of American society during recent years, and more rights for these people can be discussed as a necessity in this context. On the other hand, the opponents of the immigration movement state that more rights provided for immigrants can have adverse effects on citizens, and such a process can lead to the decreased control of the illegal immigration in the country. Although many migrants in the United States are often illegal, and many projects are proposed to regulate the immigration processes, immigrants should be provided with more rights because they represent the large group of the country’s population, the future increases in the number of migrants are predicted, and rights of these people cannot be ignored since they contribute to the social development. While stating that immigrants should not be provided with more rights, people ignore the fact that there are millions of immigrants in the country, and they represent one of the largest population groups in the United States. According to Hayduk, “more than 30 million people in every walk of life – one in ten – are immigrants who are not US citizens” (100). These data are typical of 2014-2015, but it is necessary to note that the number of immigrants, as well as their role in society, increases each year. It is possible to state that the American citizen interacts with immigrants in each sphere of his or her life, but if the American citizens have the rights that are stated according to the principles of democracy and equality, the rights of immigrants can be viewed as rather limited (Hainmueller and Hopkins 530). It is possible to state that even if immigr
ESL Café The website was found in the tenth chapter (Gipe 261). The complete list of website’s characteristics can be seen below (refer to the fig. 1): Fig. 1. Web page credibility checklist (Phillips 1). It is easy to identify the website’s owner since his name is indicated in the website’s name. Although I usually do not like when individuals name products or services after themselves, I believe this website uses the name of the owner to indicate his passion for the subject. I like this approach because it feels as if the website’s materials are a personal gift from the owner. The website has dozens of external links that mostly provide teachers with job opportunities outside the USA or Europe (in Asia, for example). They also link various outside sources about certifications for ESL teachers. Thus, the website provides useful materials not only to students (in the form of assignments and quizzes) but also to teachers who might want to research how they can advance their careers. As a teacher, I would actively use these materials because they can serve as a clear and easy way to understand tasks; they also tackle complex and confusing themes, which is a big plus. Grammar and correct descriptions are a must for any website, but they are an inseparable part of an ESL website because its main aim is to teach English correctly. I appreciated the website’s attention to grammar because it shows that its creator respects the café’s visitors, both native and non-native speakers. The majority of the links is also new and frequently updated (for example, job offers and teacher’s resumes). However, the problem that I identified with this job offer bo
Results Anticipated Vs. Sudden Death Nine articles reviewed for this literature study have several common themes. One of the common themes raised in the articles under consideration is anticipatory grief or the effect of forewarning of death on the children’s perception of one of their parents’ death. The literature on this topic is extremely valuable because it is not often that the circumstances of parental death and their effect on the further life and health of children are discussed. This issue is necessary to pay attention to because circumstances in which parents die from cancer (sudden or anticipated death) may create additional stressors for children. These stressors need to be taken into account by nurses trying to meet the care needs of children whose parents suffer from cancer. Most of the researchers focus their studies on identifying whether forewarning of death can be beneficial for children. However, the greatest amount of them discovers that the sudden death of a parent is less stressful for children than the anticipatory one. Two of the articles under consideration agree with the idea that anticipatory death is more stressful for children than sudden one. The study carried out by Saldinger, Cain, Kalter & Lohnes (1999) begins with the discussion of possible benefits that forewarning the death of a parent may bring. One of such benefits is that anticipated death gives the members of the family, children, in particular, time to say goodbye and to get accustomed to the idea that an important person will be soon missing from their lives: In the cognitive realm, anticipation is believed to facilitate acceptance of death, making the final outcome more under
As far as the borders between the countries weaken people have more opportunities to travel all over the world and discover new places ranging from exotic islands to snowy mountains. Certainly, people travelled before as well but it was very difficult and expensive, not to mention, dangerous. Nowadays, to help one to orient among vast amounts of offers and to find what kind of vacation suits you best the travel literature was designed. Travel literature includes writings associated with tourism, such as guide books and reviews, travelogues that are aimed at describing the destination, providing helpful advice for visitors and most often encouraging or convincing visiting the place. Travel essays concentrate on author’s personal experience of visiting some place and the impact it made on them. Alongside tourism essays and reviews, with fast developing of technologies and telecommunication, a lot of TV and radio programmes are intended to present the information about the world’s countries pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of the destination. TV programmes about tourism are also beneficial as they not only tell about the place but show it, letting you to plunge into the atmosphere of the country. It’s obvious that every travel writing presents a subjective interpretation of the author. It may lead to embellishment of the real state of affairs in order to attract more tourists to the region. Notably, a typical feature of the travel writings is the use of spoken language to create a natural easy manner of writing and so gain potential travelers favor. It’s also natural for tourist literature to resort to humor and sometimes irony. Apart from personal
White teeth address the aspect of human psyche through the encounters of unassimilated immigrants in a humorous manner. The novel addresses some aspects of genetic engineering that relates to interaction between various cultures, which results to diversity, health as well as strength. However, in London, prejudice is manifest and has ruined all this, making assimilation almost impossible since the immigrant’s histories keeps on haunting them. However, this hybridization seems vital for human since genetic variation enhances survival, but like genetic engineering, it could be manipulated to meet selfish needs (Smith 283). The role of the flashback at the end of the novel further depicts humor and the immigrants’ dilemma in the new social setup. The British cultures are contrasted in a satirical way. Archie Jones is a man forty seven years of age, who contemplate on the mentorship he continues to have from Samad. The two were together in the army and are immigrants to Britain following the Second World War. Archie becomes aware that in fact, he has entirely relied on Samad for decision making in his entire life. This is when he realizes the identity of a former scientist named Dr. Marc-Pierre Perret, a Nazi physician since the Second World War. Archie and Samad were in the army, being against one enemy. Samad was not aware that Archie did not shoot the German doctor as seen from the flashback. The doctor is now the leading scientist of the mouse project as Marcus. Archie observe that Millat is gazing at him, and instead sees the aged scientist shedding bloody tears. Millat could have shot the scientist to end the human pride once and for all but he instead shoots Archie’s thigh. Samad now realizes that Dr. Perret is instead, Dr.Sick and becomes aware that the foundation of their friendship with Archie is not real. From the flashback to WWII, Archie guides Dr. Perret in the dark to shoot him although he is nervous and dislikes the act. As a result, Dr. Perret utilizes the chance to he drift Archie’s attention to the moral predicament he is in, on whether to remain loyal to his nation as well as Samad or to respect the person’s right to life irrespective of his conduct which might change. Archie realizes the coin he has in his pocket and tosses it to determine the fate of the doctor where the head would symbolize his murder while the tail his survival. As he place the gun down to flip the coin over his shoulder and on bending to get it, he is shot by Dr. Perret on his thigh. He reaches for his gun as he criticizes Dr. Perret’s actions, which he terms as unnecessary since the coin was already a tail. Following the flashback, Archie is shot by Millat as he falls and damages the mouse’s cage to release the mouse (Smith 289). The flashback helps to emphasize on the idea of heredity. During the conference the attendants are supposed to pay recognition to a scientist who could control the destiny of the mouse. This helps us to understand that immigrants are out of control of their own destiny
Introduction Forensic psychology refers to a field in the science of mental life that focuses on addressing issues affecting individuals on legal matters. This involves both criminal and civil fields. It is one of the many sub disciplines of psychology and has its own independent elements such as research journals, professional bodies, as well as training and development programs (Hall, 2007). As a profession, forensic psychology plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between the justice system and mental processes of criminals, witnesses, and lawyers. For example, forensic psychologists are often engaged by the justice system in helping to determine the competence of a suspected criminal to stand trial. Forensic psychology is a crucial element in these among other areas of concern in the justice system, thus the need to ensure that the individuals enrolled to study the course have the right competencies to deal with its demands (Bartol, 2011). In addition, forensic psychologists often undergo intensive training on numerous things in order to prepare them adequately for the high demands of the job market in their field of specialization. According to experts, one of the most tasking duties of forensic psychologists is interpreting psychological information into legal status for the sake of the courtroom, legal personnel and witness statements. Therefore, it is important for the forensic psychologist to have a clear understanding of the rules, standards, and values of the judicial system that they work with for the sake of maintaining their credibility (Hall, 2007). Discussion Research has established that the demand for forensic psychologist has escalated a lot over the last couple of decades (Canter, 2010). This phenomenon has been attributed to the high number of movies and television shows focusing on criminal investigations and the numerous elements of the justice system involved. However, experts argue that the films portray the role of forensic psychologist in the wrong manner, thus contributing to the slow growth being experienced in the professional uptake of the discipline. According to the American Psychological Association, forensic psychologists mainly involve themselves with the clinical application of various specialties that characterize the legal field (Bartol, 2011). One of the specialties t
Cherokee Indian case revealed the weaknesses of the American Supreme Court as the provisions were not in line with the American constitution. In 1832, the US Supreme Court exercised it powers in enforcing rights of the Native Americans against the state. The Supreme Court had ruled before that it lacked the mandate in ruling over the Indian nation. Initially, the court rejected claims that the native tribes had self-governance and considered independent. It was a struggle of legal and political status of the native tribes in America. The weaknesses of the American court system became realized when it rejected the Cherokee claims that they were independent just like other sovereign federal states around. The Supreme Court rejected this claim in the first case and latter developed a different theory in the second case (The Supreme Court, n. d). The Supreme Court did not speak and stand for the national values and the inspirations of the people as spelt by the constitution. It worked in favor of one side hence showed the weakness it has. John marshal avoided the same case earlier in his career when he gave his opinion on the relationship between the United States and Indian nations. According to him, the federal states in America inherited the rights from its colonial master who was Britain and became independent with those rights. He believed that US should give same rights to the Indian nations with exclusion of the European political powers. He argued his case that the Indian nations should have all other rights but not to posses land and have political dominion over their laws. John marshal avoided the case by acknowledging exercising conquest, which may lead to dominion of political power. However, his take was that the case should not be for the state but in the federal government. The court ruled in favor of Cherokee that it was a community on its own and could govern itself without involving Georgia. It gave Cherokee autonomy of governing itself as an independent community to implement its governance structure. The doctrine of the court was that only the state has the mandate of reviewing land issues related to Indian nation unlike in the case of Georgia. The weakness in the court system realized during this period was when Georgia refused to enforce and comply with the court as it had independent with powers. The relocation of the Cherokees was absolute misuse of powers and court had jurisdiction. Different states exercise their powers and have the guaranteed independence that gives them freedom to do all they can within their mandate. The courts ruling giving sovereignty to a tribal group of indigenous community within a state is a weakness of the state. The constitution guarantees rights to individuals and they are limited to certain degree. Many states as well as individuals like to exercise power on their own capacity but it has to have its limitations in line with the constitution. America is one nation under law hence the subdivision divides the
Executive Summary The benefits of tourism can only be sustained if efforts are put in place to manage the environmental aspects that are involved. Several annual sporting events are held in Australia which attract huge numbers of tourists, both from international circles and locally, to witness the events. Sustainability programmes are required to be implemented in order to take good care of the welfare of these events and their fans in the future. This will also ensure safety and security for the players who participate in the events. Sustainability measures in this regard include programmes aimed at mitigating on the effects of environmental pollution and degradation, which mainly increase during the event duration. Fans living within cities where these events are hosted travel to and from event venues using aircrafts, trains, vehicles, and motorcycles, all of which pollute the air through the emission of carbon dioxide. Increased volumes of waste dumping are also witnessed during such events, which is also hazardous to the environment. Examples of such sporting events with huge interest and following from the world include the Australian Open tennis championships held in Melbourne, and the Australian Grand Prix Formula One championships held at the Albert Park, also in Melbourne. The respective event organisers should introduce programs which address these effects, like devising alternative transport ways that will have limited effects. Other pollution effects caused by noise and waste material, including waste bottles, also need to be properly managed. Policy Planning for a Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Industry Introduction There have been concerted efforts in the recent past for proper management of the environment which supports mankind’s daily life and activities. Efforts have also been put into place to create public awareness on the significance of understanding and incorporating sustainability measures in order to limit on the effects of environmental degradation. Big international sporting events have particularly been the focus of these efforts as they generate significant amounts of waste, both solid and gaseous, which are potentially harmful to the event goers and the communities living around event venues. This paper makes reference to two major sporting events which grace the international calendar, and which are both hosted in Australia. The Australian Open Tennis Championship which is held every year in the month of January at the Melbourne Park in Australia, and the Australian Grand
Practical Theology Where does Theology Begin for You? Theology studies the nature of the divine based on the Holy Scripture to understand God, His Ideas, and the way suggested by Him for Christians. For the 21st century church, it is especially important to identify itself in the context of exile that is a resource of renovation, as stated by Beach (2015). Practical and biblical theology uses both Old and New Testaments as a foundation for leading exilic people by informing them how to behave and what to expect in the future. The role of ministers, in this connection, is to translate the biblical advice into contemporary cultural and social reality (Clapper, 2014). Exile should be regarded as a legitimate paradigm so that the Western church may understand its objectives and disseminate this knowledge to people as appropriate. Is the Practical Theology of Heart Renewal and its Characteristics a Viable Place to Begin the Theological Discussion? In the very heart of Wesleyan theology, one should note love as a means of salvation. Maddox considers that Wesley’s practical theology is oriented towards such concern as responsible grace (Clapper, 2014). In other words, it refers to shaping the worldview of people to facilitate spiritual development and discipleship. The central idea of heart renewal is to provide believers with feasible guidance on overcoming difficulties in changing situations. There are four key characteristics of practical theology: transformative, holistic, occasional, and contextual. The first two issues are more descriptive of theology, while the latter specifies how the discussion should be conducted. In many respects, the practical theology of heart renewal is a beneficial starting point to follow responsible grace principles to respond to God’s initiative. The essential benefit of practical theology is to be truly transformative to not only enable understanding of the church but also promote change and correction of Christian values and lives. Spiritual Identity The majority of people in the ministerial context identify themselves as Pentecostals. It is a semi-Christian movement that emerged from the Baptist communities in the United States. The basis of their teachings is considered the Bible: the Pentecostals consider themselves as evangelical Christians and recognize all aspects of Christ’s teaching, often strictly referring to the commandments. The main values ​​are faithfulness, reliance on traditional foundations in marriage and family, a call for tolerance, and avoiding harm. The Pentecostals state in the c
Introduction Celine Dion is, no doubt, one of the brightest artists of the pop culture of all time. She was raised in a large family of poor parents, and after numerous difficulties in life, she became one of the best-selling female artists. Her long list of awards, including Grammys and Oscar, are not the only reasons why she is a great singer. This Quebecoise woman has become a queen of people’s hearts and conquered the world with her mesmerizing vocals and great personality. Main body I was born when Celine Dion was already a popular and critically acclaimed artist. I think I inherited the love for her music from my mother, as she is also a fan of Dion’s talent. I grew up listening to her songs and the older I became the more I understood emotional undertones and the depth of her lyrics. The power of her phenomenon lies: in ability to be liked by such different generations through projecting emotions close and known to everybody’s heart. What caught me most is the power of Dion’s voice and the depth which she uses to guide the listener through the feelings she projects with the song. Celine has the ability to combine her powerful voice with grace and effortless elegance, which always touches the soul. Despite having one the best vocal diapason and technical singing skills, Celine Dion always sings first of all from the bottom of her heart, and that might be a secret to having millions of fans around the world. Even the most meticulous critics recognized Canadian artists’ voices as incredible and driven by a unique style and tone. Her excellent lyrical soprano comes with a wide range of technical skills like sustaining long notes and melismas. The most exciting part of this is that, due to growing up in a low-income family, she did not get musical education. Celine is a self-taught natural talent creating impressive vocal intensity and virtuosity. Another specific trait Celine Dion has is being able to create a majestic voice flow. Compared to other singers with a strong voice who tend to over-emphasize their vibrato and show off singing skills, Quebecoise diva allows power and depth to be seen in a uniquely clear and pure manner. A listener can distinguishably hear it in such songs as “All by Myself” and the forever classic hit “My Heart Will Go On”. However, the best part of Dion’s music is the power behind the voice. It is about her talent to reach people’s hearts and souls. Through her ballads, Celine communicates familiar and relatable topics to her audience, which makes her songs refreshingly naturalistic. She has class and delivery like no other artist, that is why so many people went through falling in love, relationships, heartbreaks, and friendships listening to her songs. Celine Dion has numerous songs that encompass her unique style as an artist. One of the latest examples is the song called “Ashes”, a soundtrack for “Deadpool 2” (Dion). This might be the most powerful song written for Marvel’s multiverse, which show
