“Sweet, Sour, and Resentful” In this story, Dumas tells Gourmet magazine how her mother prepares a Persian feast weekly for a great number of people. She tells how her mother is bitter about cooking every week for so many people and in a small place. The family had moved to the states before their friends and family, so they were called on to help adapt when they moved to the area. That’s when the weekly meals started. Dumas stated, “Displaying the hospitality that Iranians so cherish, my father extended a dinner invitation to everyone who called”(321).

Next, a $100 discount arrived at retail stores, yet still, the TouchPad couldn't touch the iPad. Then at last, HP had a dramatic change of heart, deciding to discontinue the TouchPad line and radically reduce prices, to $99 for each device. Suddenly, HP had its Apple moment. Lines were soon out the door, with customers camping outside in the earling morning before retail stores opened. The TouchPad topped the charts at Amazon--sold out everywhere online including at HP.com.
Juarez, Mexico a town with a population of nearly 1.5 million people is an up and coming economic city near the Mexican-American border. An average American just as I have buys their SONY LCD television excited about the amazing image, or how great football will look on Sunday. The one thing that does not go though our minds is why is it that I bought this television for cheap? The answer is very simple. There are young twenty something year old woman working in maquiladoras or factories assembling these electronics for more or less $5.00 a day.
Consider this: a person gets a job for one of the largest revenue producing Companies in America and they cannot put food on the table for their family. Wal-Mart is built on the motto “Save money, live better.” Wal-Mart promises the American dream to its shoppers, not its employees. Over years Wal-Mart has not been paying workers enough especially women. Female workers earn $5,200 less per year than male workers (Reed 1). Wal-Mart has brought more jobs to China than the U.S. with more than 5,000 lawsuits towards illegally dumping hazardous waste and low wages.
Dating in the USA Moving to the United States has been a huge cultural shock in regards to dating. I moved from China to the United States in 2011. When I first moved here I noticed several cultural differences, however dating is the one that has been the most challenging for me to fully understand. In China a date is a confirmation of a full relationship, and is typically set-up in a blind date scenario, workplace, or casual pick-up. In China it is very simple, if you like each other you date and are together with no games or additional rules.
While China has advanced sanitarily, there are still 2.6 billion people in the world who do not have access to any toilet at all. According to George, “The 1.8 million child deaths each year related to clean water and sanitation dwarf the casualties associated with violent conflict. No act of terrorism generates economic devastation on the scale of the crisis in water and sanitation” (George, 68). In other words, what can be more important than our next generation of leaders dying due to the water and sanitation crisis. In addition to sanitation within public toilets affecting the nation’s everyday lives, sociability is also an issue that public toilets take
Some friends reduced my pressure by their understanding about American students; “All they like to do is join in the party; you will never see them studying in the library more than three hours. The truth is you cannot compete with them in language, but you can compete with any American student in academic study, because they are so lazy.” I was so excited, even though I did not know if it was true or not. After a whole day trip, I found my dorm in PFT with a tired body and spirit. “What does my roommate like?” I was thinking before I opened the door. All the lights were on but no body was in the room.

Even though the United States won most of the battles up until 1968, nothing could have prepared them for what was to happen on January 30-31, 1968. Prior to the “Tet,” otherwise known as the Chinese Lunar New Year, some small battles along Rt.9 nearby Khe Sahn, had been taking place. The Tet is the same as our new years day, but instead of celebrating number years, they celebrate years of different animals, such as, 1968 was the year of the monkey. After two weeks of silence, American scouts discovered North Vietnamese camps with over eighty’thousand Communist troops. The Americans did nothing to prepare for a battle in which was almost impossible not to be known about.
