The Necessity of Chinese Exclusion Act Yu Li Mr. Diamond AP US History May.24.2012 U.S government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, which was the first law to ban immigration based on a certain race. The anti-Chinese sentiment was spread out in California in late 1870s as job competition became more severe, people constantly give government pressure by forming anti-Chinese organizations and violence riot. The purpose of passing the Chinese Exclusion Act is to solve the problems on job competition and give more job opportunities to other group of labors. However, people have been constantly debating about the necessity of Chinese Exclusion Act for decades. For discussing this topic, it is necessary to consider the economic and industrial effect that Chinese Immigrants had brought to the country around the time, weather the law actually solve the problems on job competition, the long-term effect this law had brought to the future Chinese Immigrants and the basic American value on human rights.
While Richard Milhous Nixon is seen as the worst president in the history of the United States of America, many people and historians also believe he did “one thing right.” That “one thing”0 would be his trip to China or as Richard Nixon himself referred to it -“the week that changed the world”0 However did it really change the world? Or was it just a political move made by the Nixon administration in an election year? Though the visit to China did help in opening up trade and communication, it was useless for President Nixon to personally go to China, and was not a history changing event like it was portrayed. In the year of 1971 it was revealed that a top secret meeting was held in China between America’s top foreign relations officer -Henry
This injustice took place in 1866; after a decade of injustice behaviors that the Chinese Americans received in all places such as being banned from certain jobs and the Anti – Chinese law in the state constitution of 1877, which took place after this case. In the preamble it says “we the people” and if they meant it then anyone should be able to testify in court. Also it states that “we the people,” “will secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves.” This that we promote justice; if that was true then it wouldn’t matter what culture we were because we are all Americans and justice would have been served to the criminal in the case. In the world of the Chinese Americans’ no rules apply, they are treated in a way that is not acceptable to the American lifestyle. They were not treated equally by the federal government or society and all three of these cases have shown the injustices and trials that the Chinese Americans have suffered.
A solution to the Amex problem would be to temporarily shut down their company since they can’t handle being truthful to consumers based on their false advertising about the Blue Sky program. Temporarily shutting down the company would address the problem by making Amex realize what they are doing to consumers isn’t okay. The government has a federal agency called the Division of Advertising Practices that need to monitor advertisements more carefully because the government needs to stop these crimes immediately.The government should step up solving these crimes faster because Georgia Peanuts was selling salmonella-infested peanut butter to the public for MONTHS before the government did anything. Amex was scamming people for 9 YEARS before the government found
Tangible (Juwan's Perspective) Juwan Howard seeks the highest compensation and benefits for his services as a National Basketball Association player. He is hoping that the Washington Bullets would offer approximately $100 million for his contract renewal because Juwan believes he is worth that much as a key player and wants to remain in Washington. According to Wes Unseld, the Bullets General Manager, the team could only offer $78.4 million for seven years (Barry, Lewicki, Saunders, 2007). Juwan believes this is an unacceptable offer. According to Pat Riley, President of Miami Heat, his team offered Howard $100.8 million and other benefits for a seven year deal (Barry, Lewicki, Saunders, 2007).

Polishing a Tarnished Trophy: Tiger Woods’ Struggle to Remain Atop the Leader Board Tyler Watkins 000278023 Public Relations 270 Becky Huckaby August 2, 2010 Introduction Before the news broke of Tiger Woods’ extramarital activities around Thanksgiving of 2009, he was revered as the world’s top golfer, a role model for amateurs and young children, a spokesperson for many of the world’s most prestigious companies, both inside and outside the realm of the golf. A public figure of Tiger Woods’ stature and celebrity should have been more careful, honest, and forthcoming when it came to disclosing the truth about his misconduct. By not doing so, he allowed for media speculation and allegations to tarnish further his already battered
On one side there is Foucquet the self-interested superior scholar, and on the other, there is John Hu, an innocent Chinese copyist trying to explore a new land. Hus is exploited from the outset as his views are written off as inferior and he is placed on a position that he cannot measure up to. Hu’s behaviour on the Voyage as well as during his time in France was perceived by Foucquet to be “Chinese madness”.5 Hu’s perceived crazy actions include things such as stealing a horse, eating disproportionate amounts of food at a time, and refusing to have any sorts of interaction with women. Hu frequently changes his demeanor, happy one instance and angry the next, which puzzles Foucquet and others eventually getting locked up in an insane asylum after being labeled as
This calculated move by Google allowed them to legally circumvent China's censorship and shut down of their search engine by re-directing all search queries from google.cn to google.com.hk. But this move was still jeopardizing Google's Internet Content Provider license issued to them by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. To solve this problem, Google stopped re-directing all searches to google.com.hk and started to offer a link to it at the bottom of the google.cn search page. Because Google decided to comply with China's censorship their market share of 29% in 2010 declined to 1.7% in 2013. Legal, Cultural and Ethical Challenges For Google, the legal, cultural and ethical challenges they faced in China turned out to be insurmountable.
The reason that the Chinese workers at Foxconn threatened to commit a mass suicide was in protest to their working conditions ("Leaders We Deserve", 2012). Although Foxconn is its own company and is only a supplier of Apple Inc, the CEO of Apple Inc or any company’s CEO has ethical responsibility to all the workers of the companies that they use to produce their own products ("Leaders We Deserve", 2012). After the news of the mass suicide protest in the Wuhan factory of Foxconn, the relationship between Foxconn and Apple Inc were on the rocks and unsure of what was going to happen. When it came time for Apple Inc to make the decision on who was going to be the supplier for their new production line in October 2012, Tim Cook, Apple’s new CEO had to choose whether or not to continue working with Foxconn. The relationship between the two companies started to flourish again in May 2012 when Foxconn said that they were investing 210 million dollars to improve the working conditions in the company to get Apple to let them build the production line for Apple Inc in October ("Leaders We Deserve", 2012).
