The Heart of the Irish Immigrant Barb Keil ETH/125 Axia College of University of Phoenix Once on American shores the next journey begins. Some Irish Immigrants docked in Boston and some in New York where most would continue to live because they had no money to travel any further. Because of the vast amount of immigrants arriving at the same time, housing was in great demand as was jobs. Housing wasn’t much better on land than the ships they arrived in. The Irish were segregated and were forced to move to small areas called shanties or slums.
This was the first hurdle the Irish had to face on their migration. When into America the Irish settled into the lowest rung of society and waged a daily battle for survival. Although this would have been a very hard way to make life better it was still better than being home where they would have surely died. In this sense it was a forced migration but as no one was physically moving them just life was getting made impossible by land and property owners because they were not getting their rent or dues because of the failed crop it could be seen as a volunteered migration. Mainly all of the immigrants that went to America settled in New York and Boston in the east but some did go further west to cities like Cincinnati, Chicago, and San Francisco.
The fact that Mary was not just a woman in the lower class, but also an Irish immigrant whose occupation was a domestic servant are just a few reasons that contributed to the prejudices against her. People who were of Irish ethnicity were thought to be dirty and were not well respected by anyone in New York in the early 1900's. Her lack of rank within the social class and her ethnicity played a huge role in the way she was treated. Had she been a man from a wealthy family in New York, things would have been much different. 2.
The mother picked up a job as well, noticing that the bills were much more expensive to pay This was also extremely stressful for the family because they were not getting to see each other as much as they have in the past. The work hours also took a toll on them. They left their beautiful house in India, to an one bedroom apartment for the three of them to share. The eco map states that the only extended family they had in Canada was Balbir's brother. This relationship was strong, and was very important to the family.
More importantly, it hurts the lives of the many people that were working for Hostess. They can't make a living without a job, without a job they wouldn't have the money to pay for their bills or even their house and might even add to the growing population of homeless people. It would also hurt the states in which the bakeries or plants were shut down. Also, the liquidation affects the people who love Hostess, people who grew up with Hostess, and the new-coming babies that won't be able to enjoy any of their products anymore. The Union is supposed to help the economy, not take away businesses that will help it.
Immigrants realize that crossing the border illegally could mean losing their life, but many believe the life they currently have is not worth living. Many of them do not have enough food to eat, a place to live, or an opportunity to have a job that allows them to support themselves and their family. For most immigrants, there is no other choice but to put their lives on the line and cross the border in hopes of achieving the American Dream. In America today, the idea of America as the “land of opportunity” is starting to fade. What once was a country that prided itself on the possibility of anyone having a “rags to riches” story, has the face the reality that in today’s day and age, this rarely happens.
Over-production – Fewer products such as cars, consumer good etc were not being sold as factories were making more goods than Americans needed or could afford to buy. As the number of sells went down, the prices of goods also went down which meant that wages had to be kept low. When this did not work, industrialists had to resort to sacking workers, and because the workers did not have any more money, they could not afford luxury so factories continued to
Recently growth has been restricted, due in part to recent fines from state and government agencies for poorly kept records for both clients and employees. Recently APremium has not been able to respond to the staffing demands of the newer clients in remote regions, their employee lists have become overwhelming and very difficult to filter through in time to be useful in responding to staffing deficiencies on short notice. The field staff has been complaining that payroll is always late and many of the skilled laborers are threatening to leave. APremium is seeking another contract with a very delicate group of clients who require premium care and attention to code. This contract can increase their business by 75%.
The Imbalance of Work and Family Many times in modern society working individuals find it difficult to balance family time and work. One will always take time from the other and finding a balance between the two is rare. This is shown in “Contents of The Dead Man’s Pocket” by Jack Finney, where Tom Benecke choses to work instead of going to the theatre with his wife, and he ends up regretting this choice greatly. The theme of this story is that family time is much more important than work and family must be held before work, and a similar theme may be seen in “Double Daddy” by Penny Parker, and “The Child’s View of Working Parents” by Cora Daniels and Ellen Galinsky. First of all, the theme is shown as the story progresses and Tom Benecke’s character develops.
It’s always been an issue for some people to accept immigrants in this county regardless of their status. For instance, they think that immigrants are here to take their jobs. Therefore when immigrants finally find a job, they have to fight in order to survive. To illustrate this, they all feel heartbroken, miserable and lonely because they have no clue when all of their situations will be resolved, for that reason, it’s never a good idea to come here illegally because coming here without any type of right document can lead to major problem in any body’s life. Eventually, anybody who take that risk to support their families should be rewarded for that big sacrifice, they have to go through in the United
