The second point made in the article that can be shown in the Fremont film is: “pluralism is not just tolerance, but the active seeking of understanding across lines of difference.” Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and Buddhists choose to mingle with each other as neighbors in Fremont. Through everyday engagement and interfaith action, strangers have become neighbors in this city. It’s very easy
His 1972 state visit to China was the first ever by an American president. Nixon also improved relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, creating an era of "detente." He and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed a nuclear arms treaty as well as several accords on culture and science (Profiles of presidents, 2007).

Their homeland has the second largest population in the world, yet in America they form one of our smallest minorities. Americans were influenced by their beliefs long before the first immigrants arrived, and an important interchange of ideas has continued to the present day. Although many came to America as early as the turn of the century, they were denied citizenship until a congressional act granted it in 1946. Now they are students and teachers in our universities; they are artists and writers, musicians and scientists. Their contributions to industry, commerce, and agriculture have been valuable to America and to the world.

According to Gibson (2012), “customers can often confuse needs, wants, and expectations, but what they do want is to be acknowledged, understood, treated fairly, and feel in control of their experience” (pp. 10-11). This may not be easy to cater to as “each customer is unique” (Gibson, 2012, p. 6) and they might each have various reasons for buying or shopping for a specific product. For some customers money is no object, while for others they may shop on a strict budget. Therefore companies should remember to treat each customer with respect, regardless of how much money they are spending, because they never know if in the future the customer might make a larger purchase (Gibson, 2012, p. 15), or perhaps spread the word to a friend or family member who might spend significantly more money with the company.
Assignment: Journal Entry of a Subordinate Group Member Korean Americans Korean Americans celebrated 2003 as the 100th anniversary of Korean immigration to the United States. However, Korean American history goes back further than that to 1882, when the U.S. signed a treaty of peace, friendship, and commerce with Korea, allowing each country to establish a diplomatic mission in the other's country. From then on, Koreans began to arrive in the U.S. as diplomats, political exiles, merchants, or students. Korean emigration to the United States can be divided into three major waves. The first, from 1903 to 1905, consisted of about 7,500 Koreans, mostly men, who went to work on Hawaii's sugar plantations as contract laborers.
