The Giver is a utopian society, a perfect world as envisioned by its creators. It has eliminated fear, pain, hunger, illness, conflict, and hatred—all things that most people would like to eliminate in their own society. But in order to maintain the peace and order of their society, the citizens of the community in The Giver have to submit to strict rules governing their behavior, their relationships, and even their language. For example Jonas says “He knew that there was no quick comfort for emotions like those. They were deeper and they did not need to be told.
Some immigrants get to the U.S.A by paying a large price to human smugglers. Some of them do not realize during the process that they will be held for ransom, raped, abandoned, and in the worst cases, even killed. Many of these illegal immigrants are promised a better life. These promises in many cases are words thrown to humble immigrants like a treat thrown to a dog. Mendez a character in the book broke his promise and made the immigrants wonder in the wrong direction for days, in the book he calls for a group meeting, since he saw that Reymundo Jr. a young child was close to dying and said “Mendez call them together.
Summary of "The Missing Piece to the Gang-Violence Debate" In the essay "The Missing Piece to the Gang-Violence Debate" (Ottawa Citizen, 2005), Dan Gardner argues that governments continuously fail to grasp the final piece to what is at the stem of most gang related violence. Gardner examines the factors of gang violence, which range from "fatherless families... and a soft-touch criminal justice system"(234) to "racism, poverty... and too many guns"(234). These factors are only those that have been acknowledged and addressed by governments. Gardner uses a direct example to emphasize what he believes to be the "missing piece" in the debate, this example is from Mexico. Mexico has become one of the world's largest stages for gang related violent outbursts in the recent years.
Mexico has a lot of problems because they have a war against drugs, and the war never ends. As a consequence, in Texas their exists a great deal of human trafficking. The most common people that suffer this are the immigrants, people coming from Mexico and other countries do not want to live in dangers or they are not making enough money to make a living and that is why they choose to come to this country. They come from their countries, to the United States in search for a better life. On their way here, they know people like the "coyotes" that tell them about the good life that they are going to live when they get
They were sent to internment camps over 100,000 were ordered by government custody and were announced as disloyal. All of their hard work was put to waste however many people wouldn’t buy from them. Racism was taking a strong part of these actions as well and the fact that they were able to manage businesses. Why do
“Many Americans held the president personally to blame for the crisis and began calling the shantytowns that unemployed people established on the outskirts of cities “Hoovervilles” (B, 676; CD) The 1930’s also show examples of our continuing inequality in America. As the white males began to lose their jobs and some African Americans continued to work, people believed in this crisis white males had first priority when it came to jobs and started replacing the African Americans. (B, 665; CD) Mexicans during the depression were rounded up and were forced to
The city revolved around a “survival of the fittest” manner and would chew you up only to spit you back out for another beating if you didn’t comply. The unfair techniques politicians used to scam elections made it close to impossible for the weak to gain any strength. So the days carried on for the immigrants, who mainly worked in factories. Low pay kept the people on a tight working schedule and made it tough to live. The conditions were so bad many people ended up unable to work due to sickness or death from either the meat or exhaustion.
The Devil’s Highway Luis Alberto Urrea traces the journeys of twenty-six men traveling across the border through one of the most treacherous deserts known to man “The Devil’s Highway.” The authors soul purpose was to us think and be aware of the events going on all around. With the simple modes of persuasion (pathos, ethos, and logos) Urrea makes you consider what worlds, political and economic, have we created that push humans into impossible journeys? What borders have we imposed, both geopolitical and cultural, that separate human beings so completely? The author’s narrative, ripe with horrifying descriptions, is nonetheless told with compassion appealing to the emotions of the audience in the argument. The greater part of the book follows these men on their unlucky journey through the desert, and how each one is drained of their money, water, hopes and dreams, and for some, life.
This type of animal cruelty is legal for people with a license to hunt, but for those who are not legalized hunters can face many years in prison and be fined thousands of dollars. Fur trapping is a barbaric activity, done to create and supply an object of vanity; a fur coat. Clearly this terrible suffering on animals cannot be justified with any superficial product. The suffering is even worst when one considers how many animals must be killed to make a single fur
Illegal immigration is a major issue in the U.S. There has always been a discussion on how to handle illegal immigrant such as should they be allowed to stay or should they be deported.
