The immigration debate has challenged all nations with no exceptions since its founding. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are nowadays immigrants, some of which are legally settled while other are simply not. People tend to migrate from poor countries to the developed ones, holding hopes, dreaming of brighter future, and bringing their own cultures with them. Those people choose to live abroad from where they were born. Not to mention that wars and bad governments can result in the increasing number of immigrants, but the main reason of this issue is that immigration will never stop as long as one country has a better place for living, that being said, it is governments’ responsibility to allow and regulate immigration for many …show more content…
Eventually, immigration lead us to open our minds to new concepts and acceptance for people with different backgrounds, and that is called multiculturalism. Not to mention, that immigrants bring their cultures with them so they can teach others about themselves, which is great because that could help in many ways, especially, in how to contact with people from other countries. As one famous philosopher said, “Appreciation for cultural diversity is essential for our co-existence”. For example, according to (Landeskunde Special) in 2006, societies with so many different languages and cultures tend to have the possibility of learning from people having other heritages. They can exchange experiences, so everyone is able to broaden his mind leading to an intellectual improvement of the society. This example shows how immigration can help us to know about different cultures and habits, and adopt some of those good habits they have. In addition, it is interesting to know about different cultures. For example according to (Qin Wan) in 2006, we will understand and learn from each other easier than before. We can eat different cultural style foods. We can watch different entertaining performances from different countries, and we can enjoy the celebration events of different countries by attending their festivals. Those things could create a peaceful surrounding environment. Multiculturalism can be …show more content…
Many people believe that immigrants usually work illegally such as selling drugs or stealing. To argue this claim, they do not know that immigration pay millions of dollars to social security. According to (Ed Krayewski) in 2013, ' ' in 2006 an estimate of 8 million illegal immigrants—up to two thirds of the total—paid taxes, including both income taxes and Medicare and Social Security taxes. Indeed, revenue from illegal immigrants is estimated at $11 billion a year toward Social Security ' '. This means even if the immigrants are not legally working, the government benefits from immigrations. As a result, people still have a lot of questions about immigrating and working ethics. This subject is still under a serious debate, however, results shows that it can leave positive impact on
In the U. S today, the approximated population of undocumented immigrants stands at averagely 11 million. Therefore, this has created a hot debate in Congress about the action to take over the undocumented immigrants. Those opposed to illegal immigrants suggest that, their stay in the United States effects U.S citizens on the job market negatively . In addition, illegal immigrants are viewed in certain quarters as takers in the sense that illegal immigrants benefit more from public resources than the american-born citizens of the U.S. However, the reality is that immigrants contribute positively to the U.S economy and pay significantly into the system compared to what they send back home. In addition, the contributions associated with undocumented immigrants involve sustaining the solvency of the SSTF (Social Security Trust Fund). In this sense, the use of cost benefit analysis by those supporting immigration restrictions are unfounded and do not reflect the facts on the ground (Nadadur 1037). The opponents of undocumented immigrants believe that having more undocumented immigrants in the U.S is costly; however, there are no solid reasons to prove that undocumented immigrants are a burden to the treasury. Instead, the undocumented immigrants play an important role in boosting the economy and in particular by taking up jobs those citizens perceive as demeaning because the money they earn goes back to the economy through taxes resulting from consumer spending when they send money back home.
Though immigration is not a new phenomenon in the world’s history, it has been notice that now days immigration has increased more than ever. This is mainly caused because of better ways of communication and transportation, which it makes it possible to people to move and enter other countries. However there are many types of immigrations such as economical, retirement immigrants or even ‘natural disasters’ immigrants. People sometimes seek a new life to save themselves from poverty and misery, thus they decide to enjoy the benefits of another country. Still there are other immigrants who are forced to leave their countries because of wars or even natural disasters, such as the tsunami in Japan 2011. Some philosophers consider closed borders to restrict people freedom of movement and that global justice is been violated. On the other hand Miller and other philosophers argued that immigration causes more disadvantages than advantages into the country they enter. Also they agree that states have a moral right to limit immigrations in order to prevent any changes in their culture, as immigration affects several things, even if this means that they will violate human rights. Another concern for the states is the welfare state where sometimes it may be limited and countries cannot afford any immigrants. However, is it right to oppose people rights of freedom, or is it correct for states to limit immigration?
Spanish and English share a similar alphabet, with the Spanish sound system being more concise. Many differences are revealed when comparing the phonologies of the two languages. These differences will influence the speech of Spanish speakers learning English. Speakers may transfer their knowledge of Spanish to English. Understanding these differences is important to the speech-language pathologist in order to realize why some English sounds are more difficult for the Spanish speaker to produce than others (Gorman & Kester, 2001).
The current controversy involving phonics instruction appears to center on two questions: “How much knowledge of letter-sound connection is necessary for the development of conventional reading and writing?” and “Can sufficient phonological knowledge be acquired by children through informal, indirect instruction,
First, immigrants come to the U.S. to work and bring valuable skills which help grow the economy despite the negative views surrounding their part in the U.S. economy. Since the 2008-2009 recession the view on immigration and its effects on the economy has been more negative than positive (Peri, 2012). A study done by Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government found that about 50 percent of American adults believe that immigrants burden the country because they, “take jobs, housing, and healthcare”, while the other 50 percent believe that, “immigrants strengthen the country due to their hard work and talents” (Delener & Ventilato, 2008). Over the past decade, “over half of the increase in the U.S. labor force,… was the result of immigration-l...
The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.
This research is intended to analyze the transcript of a child’s speech. The target child is a female named Majorie who is 2 years and 3 months old. The transcript is from The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology. The linguistic aspects that will be examined are the phonological processes of the child including speech errors, syllable shapes, and her phonetic inventory consisting of manner and place of articulation. Included in the analysis will be her stage and development of lexical knowledge and what words she uses.
Currently, today in the world that we live in, immigration is a very popular topic of discuss. Immigration has been occurring for a great deal of time and is still taking place today. In the past there were many problems with incoming strangers entering our country and bringing with them different customs. With unfamiliar attributes being presented to the nation in such a way, caused conflict between the native as well as the aliens. Some complications that were presented a century ago are still being dealt with now, and the others are no long occurring during this era.Immigration does not only include one ethnicity; It includes every enthicity that is coming from a country to settle down in our country from their native country. A msn by the name of Jacob Rii did several interviews on immigrants that were entering the country during the 1890s. During his interviews he discovered the many problems that the immigrants were facing and introducing into the United States.
The Test 3 Phonics assessment determines a child’s ability to apply phonics skills in context, while the sub-tests measure the discrete phonics skills of initial consonants, initial blends and digraphs, vowels, phonograms, blending, and vowel pronunciation.
The United States immigration policy has for a very long time been a benchmark for political debate as policy makers deliberate on the need to uphold an international competitiveness by means of drawing of top talent as opposed to the need to control illegal immigration and secure the United States borders. The U.S. has been faced with a period of mass immigration during the last decade. Illegal immigration has become a very severe issue as a result of the view that it hurts the United States citizens. An illegal immigrant is someone who migrates into a country for permanent residence even without any type of identification. Every year, there are many illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. borders illegally due to the fact that the some parts
These three groups were then asked to complete three different tasks. The first was to repeat and segment 20 different words (5 consonant-vowel-consonant, 5 CCVC, 5 CVCC, and 5 CCVCC) and two overall scores were administered to the participants. Both scores were out of a maximum of 20 points; the first score was based on giving 1 point for each correctly analyzed word, and the second score was based on giving 1 point for correctly analyzing medial vowels.
Immigration is a controversial topic that features conflicting opinions on a global scale. This is because skeptics believe that immigrants are taking away the original culture and traditions of individual societies, whereas, those supporting immigration believe that immigrants in fact enrich the culture of the host countries and provide great benefits to the country overall. This ongoing debate regarding immigration has led to the increased difficulty in gaining national citizenship in some countries, such as Saudi Arabia. Other countries, however, welcome immigrants as they believe foreigners are valuable to society. Immigration around the world should be encouraged as immigrants increase diversity, add to the amount of skills and labor opportunities available to the countries they move to, and improve the economy.
According to Oak (2011), diverse culture has a significant impact on host country. It is helpful to exchange the culture values and knowledge. Immigrants face new people and share their innovative things and vice versa. Immigrants learn basic skills and learn many things related to their culture. According to Oak (2011), in some occasions immigration may be an outcomes of distribution of population. Immigration helps an overpopulated country to balance their population. Mostly immigrant’s moves to balanced country from overpopulated one it’s good for their population. Lack of resources face by some countries as compared to others. Balanced countries have many resources and have less population. Migration from overcrowding country to balanced country is good for both countries.
If you really would like to know what multiculturalism means just look at it and don 't over think it. Multi means multiple and culturalism is a belief system that emphasizes the role of culture. Some of these roles include ethnicity, race, gender, religious beliefs, and people with disabilities. It is an act of human morals and instincts in a realistic world in which we call a society or form of government. Multiculturalisms also refers to a person being able to channel diversity and values in common or international business and education. As a human beings we should be able to adapt to the demographic surroundings and be able to accept differences of others without judgment. With that being said it is also common that politics and the power of government may control a population which can have an impact on what that population believes.
These participants were also separated into two different groups. These groups included a low AAE group, who had a low spoken production of AAE, and a high AAE group, who had a significantly higher spoken production of AAE. The measures collected during this study included spoken dialect use, phonological awareness skills, and vocabulary and reading skills (Mitri & Terry, 2013). This study mainly focused on the phonological knowledge and dialect use within the research questions, so only the measures and results that are related will be discussed in more detail. The spoken dialect use was assessed by a Sentence Imitation task developed by Charity et al. (2004) (Mitri & Terry, 2013). This task presented the participants with 15 sentences spoken by a white female MAE speaker via computer screen. The participants were asked to repeat these sentences, and the percentage of AAE features used in lieu of MAE features was recorded. The phonological awareness evaluation was measured with two different assessments. The first was conducted by the Sound Awareness subtest of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement, Third Edition (WJ3; Woodcock, McGrew, & Mather, 2001). This assessment tested the children’s abilities to rhyme words, and manipulate different parts of words. The second assessment was a phonological awareness task designed specifically for this experiment. This
