Wills’ claims that the federal government's chief law enforcement official might need a refresher course on federal law pertaining to legal immigrants. Some American legislators have taken up the position that prohibiting bilingual ballots would be racist. However, evidence shows that millions of other American citizens feel that prohibiting the bilingual ballot is a step in the right direction. Wills’ begins his article with a political anecdote quoted by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots.
Personal differences between Khrushchev and Mao rather than ideological views and national interests were responsible for China’s rapprochement with the USA in the 1970’s. How far do you agree with this statement? The USA and Russia’s bitter feud throughout the cold war took a drastic turn when China turned to the USA in the 1970’s, many did not anticipate the move given the Chinese had been on the Soviets communist side in the preceding years.

Some argue that ideological views and nationalist interests were the key factor however some dispute that the personal differences between the two leaders got to a point of no reconciliation.
China had no say or control to what Britain was doing to them, and no way of fighting back or retaliating. The only way that England and China could have come to a more fair and equal treaty is if they had respected what Lin said in his letters to the Queen, and tried to understand that they were selling illegal drugs to China, which was hurting and killing the Chinese people, their ways of life, and economy. 2.)

Professor Roger Ames began his lecture by speaking of the misconceptions that Americans have about the Chinese. Usually the Chinese culture is either romanticized or demonized. China and America are both are powerful countries and Ames spoke of the fact that if they do not join peacefully they are stunting the possibilities they have to change the course of the world. Ames spoke a lot about the focus on competition, a winner, loser, and every situation. Whereas Confucius would focus more on flourishing relationships and being respectful and loving all.
“The Impending Demise of Net Neutrality” by Elliot D. Cohen In “The Impending Demise of Net Neutrality,” the author, Elliot D.

Edward Snowden was an ex National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who leaked classified government information to journalists about the agency’s domestic spying activities which he believed to be an abuse of NSA’s authority and illegal(McCutcheon). He maintains that his revelations were for the good of the public because the government was over reaching and trampling on our Bill of Rights. And as a result, some people see him as a hero while others have branded him as a traitor. Although Snowden sees himself as a good citizen and a force for good, I on the contrary, take the position that his actions has put the nation at a disadvantage against our fight with the terrorist and therefore, that makes him a traitor in my eyes. To begin with, Snowden’s revelations made know to the public that the NSA has been collecting phone records on millions of US citizens as well as running an electronic surveillance program code name PRISM.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service’s Campaign Against Chinese During the Cold War. In the early 1950s Immigration and Naturalization (INS) had almost forced some Chinese Americans to confess that they had become U.S citizens illegally.
