Self-employment is explained by the nature of the job that it characterizes. It is “a group of jobs where the remuneration is directly dependent upon the profits (or the potential for profits) derived from the goods and services produced (where own consumption is considered to be part of profits)”. There are four categories of workers who fall in the ambit of self-employment: employers, own-account workers, members of producers' cooperatives, and contributing family workers. Each of these categories

Work and employment have been, and still are one of the prominent reasons why so many Asians continue to immigrate to the United States. As early as the Gold Rush in 1840s, when gold was discovered in the Sacramento Valley in California, which led many Chinese to come to the U.S. to find their fortune and return home rich, Asians (primarily Chinese then) had been coming to the United States.

In order to better understand these relations, Das undoes the stereotype of the detached, unbothered researcher and explores how the events and the people affected by them alters the ways of looking at
All human beings have a social identity. This identity is commonly associated with one’s personal attributes, yet we frequently discover our sense of self through others in groups. Whether it’s purposeful or accidental, we can all be categorized into groups, “As individuals, we rarely survive without a sense of belonging, achieved by finding groups.” (Unknown). It’s necessary to maintain individualization, however, we live in a society that demands an atmosphere of collective minds. Collective thinking

Determining one's moral responsibility is what all of humanity struggles with and strives to achieve. Many forces act toward the suppression of this self-discovery, causing a breakdown and ultimately a complete collapse of conventional conceptions of the self. So then the question presented becomes whether or
Identity is most simply defined as a person's own sense of self; their personal sense of who they are. Identity development is intrinsically linked with adolescence because, according to Santrock citing Marcia & Carpendale, "...for the first time, physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development advance to the point at which the individual can sort through and synthesize childhood identities and identifications to construct a viable path toward adult maturity".

confusion and hurt that she experienced as pieces for an artwork that has yet to be painted. By writing Native Guard, Trethawey recreates herself like a disjointed collage. Using gut-wrenching poetry as her medium, she uses her words to represent a self portrait of her struggles, giving the reader a chance to realize Trethewey’s emotions during a time in which she had a difficulty realizing them for herself, thus helping the audience project who they believe Trethewey to be.
