2/17/12 Social Problem 120 The other side of Immigration The main theme of the film is to explain the reason why Mexican migrates to the United States and so they can tell their side of the story and people could get a better understanding of what they go threw. Most of them come to this country to better provided for there family because they are lack of opportunities in rural México or the country side. They migrate to America because of lack of jobs. Most of the people who migrate to the United States are form the poor rural areas and farmers. Lots of these people own grain, beans, strawberries, and pig farms.
I believe Texas is still the lowest because it used to be one the most restrictive states in the US in voting laws and I feel that many people in Texas have not accustomed fully to the new regulations that allow every citizen to vote and also considering it is one of the biggest states in the US. Another reason voter turnout is so low in Texas is because of socioeconomic factors. Factors include poverty and education. Texas has the highest poverty in the US and there is a trend that shows that people in poverty are less likely to vote. People with low income also tend to have lesser education because they have fewer opportunities and many students drop out of school because they need to go into the workforce to support their family.
When examining differences between any two groups of people, it is important to compare each party’s social structure. Social distinctions boil down to the very character and culture of a society (Pessen 1127). The historian, Edward Pessen, is in this assertion, but his argument that the actual social structures of the North and South should be seen as more similar than different, he is wrong. The Market Revolution brought about social changes in the North that further differed Northern culture from Southern. In the South, the majority of families lived the traditional southern lifestyle of subsistence farming and providing for themselves, giving them a weak link to the market (Holmes, Lecture 9)*.
Company Q could have made investments in the local community that would have potentially improved the community thus decreasing the crime rate. The investment in the community would also have had a residual effect. Consumers who may not have been purchasing from Company Q’s store might have decided differently if they liked the companies efforts in investing back into the community. If there was a community investment fulfilling the Philanthropic aspect of social responsibility it may not have been necessary to close the two stores.
This social responsible act is overshadowed by the company’s decision to leave the inner city areas because of alleged loss of profits. Many inner-city communities lack quality health-conscience items and rely upon corner-market stores to obtain any semblance of fruits and vegetables. If Company Q would have remained in these communities, it would have provided a nice alternative to the unhealthy options that these inner-city communities needed. It would have been a socially responsible act to engage in. B.
GLT Task 1 “Globalization is the development of an increasingly integrated global economy” ("Merriam-Webster,"). There are many non-native western cultures that have been impacted by globalization. Some of these changes are for the better and some for the worst. The two that I would like to talk about are Japan and Africa. I will start with Japan and discuss the food culture and end with Africa discussing its financial and trade impacts along with health care impacts.
The root of poverty is caused by lack of access to land, a vulnerable environment, and low agricultural production (“Rural Poverty in Honduras”). About sixty percent of the land in Honduras is still forested, but only twenty-five percent of that is obtainable for agriculture (“Honduras: Economy”). In the twentieth century the Honduran economy was based on one commodity, bananas. Like other third world countries, whose livelihood depends solely on one export, the Honduran economy was at the mercy of the world market and its current prices. Efforts to diversify agriculture and expand manufacturing have shown some slight improvement.
As the amount that a women contributed to their society decreased, the male power went and a women's value went down. In my opinion this downward spiral was set off with the early Eurasians and the domestications of plants and animals. Domestication allowed a surplus of food, which meant their society would grow. Only females could have children, and I believe that if females were not the only gender given this gift at the beginning of time, the outcome of many girls lives and societies deeply rooted ideas of men holding greater power, might never have been caused. If in the first Eurasian communities both men and women equally shared both the roles of child bearing and working to provide food, our situation would have been much
In poorer countries it means living at the brink of subsistence, while in the U.S, few improvised families confront starvation, although many suffer from undernourishment. Poverty is problem spreading globally and is a cause of
For T’ang-Ch’eng this only is the beginning of a series of problems for the land. Agriculture in T’ang-Ch’eng plays a large role in providing jobs and ways for the people to pay taxes. The main products cultivated in North-Eastern China is wheat, soybean, millet and other kinds of fruits and vegetables. Relating to the Judge Dee text, the post contrasts in this way because it describes farmers prospering, and that the land is fertile. In the Spence text you are able to interpret that the land has a more difficult time providing and growing crops.
