Undocumented Immigrant – It Could Have Been You In her article “Undocumented, Indispensable” Anna Quindlen claims that too many Americans assume that undocumented immigrants are a financial drain on our society rather than contributors. One way Quindlen appeals to our emotions is by pointing out that it is offensive and demeaning to use the term “illegal” to describe millions of people who are an integral part of our society. Criminality is implied whenever this term is used, but the vast majority of these people are law-abiding residents. Also present in Quindlen’s essay is a subtle reminder as to how each of us, at one time or another, have felt when we were unjustly blamed for something we had little control over. Because of this reminder, the reader can empathize with these immigrants when they feel many of our financial problems are unjustly blamed on them.
The book does concentrate mostly upon the American population, and an alien would get the impression that most of America likes to waste time away and rather than “…spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose (6)…” they would reciprocate the same action, except on the web. Throughout the book though the author does present the history and good, helpful aspects of the Internet, yet if the alien was smart enough they would realize that however helpful and amazing it can be, the contraption is more a detriment to productivity in most activities, and wouldn’t recommend it to his species as a tool needed for
Creativity is a concept surrounded by a number of beliefs and misconceptions. People believe it is limited to only a few; it declines seriously with age; and it is associated primarily with uniqueness or innovation or "artists" (Adams-Price 1998; McCormick and Plugge 1997; Runco 1996). However, research shows that creative thinking is a universal ability that can help adults manage satisfying lives and that is increasingly in demand in the workplace. This Digest reviews some of this research in order to identify ways to help adults discover and fulfill their creative potential. Nature or Nurture?
Pick the three (3) values you feel the authors of our textbook were most inaccurate about in the chapter describing the current American values. Justify your answers. In regards to this book the author seems inaccurate when it comes to hard work/leisure, limited/extended family and tradition/change. To me the author seem inaccurate with his explanations when it comes to the area of hard work/leisure because Americans love to relax, they love vacations but like it is many cannot afford this because of their income level. It is clear that many of them work not because they are hard working by nature but because they have bills that are more than what they make, so many are bound to do more than two jobs just to meet up, and this will eventually goes to statistics as hard working but it is not, it is working to make ends meet.
They tend to do this by talking like others, buy knock off brand versions of what the rich buy, and go to places where the rich go. People often overlook the lesser things of life because a small part of the human mind doesn’t want to see the bad things that hide in the dark to live a happy, blissful, ignorant life. Poverty-stricken Americans do not hide away; they can be seen but because of consignment stores and places like Walmart, they don’t overly stand out and can be ignored easily enough. In the story, “Dumpster Diving,” Lars Eighner tends to be ignored by others as he scavenges through dumpsters searching
Fortunately, “low-skilled immigrants usually fill gaps in American labor markets and generally enhance domestic business prospects rather than destroy jobs; this occurs because of an important phenomenon, the presence of what are known as “complementary” workers, namely those who add value to the work of others.” (Cowen, 2010) In addition to investing and starting new businesses, immigrants filled in jobs of different pay-rate and skill spectrums where a high percentage of Americans do not want to fill. Many jobs that requires long set of working hours are often taken by immigrants. Americans are least likely to take low-skilled jobs and it is the immigrants who take those jobs. Thus, it is often found that majority of low-skilled jobs are taken by immigrants. With less opportunity and benefits for them, immigrants are encouraged to take any job available to them.
On the contrary, in a small town it is not considered impolite to start small talk with people and eventually build up your connection with them. People are not always in such a hurry and almost always have time to chat for a while. All in all building friends that can last is much more flourishing in a small town differing from that of large cities where it is by far more difficult to make lasting friendships.

They may experience a lack of challenge work and promotions as a result.
