This article talks about the serious financial losses that Merrill Lynch incurred in the year 2007 to2008, amounting to $8.4 billion by running its business of subprime mortgages.

According to these two articles, Gregory Mantsios and the presentation show that the gap between the wealthiest and the poor members of the society is very huge. These two articles also show that most of the people in the western world, especially in America have got used to the Great divergence and do not wish to talk about the class bias. Both articles also consider the past situation, the current situations and predict the future in relation to social class. From these articles, it is evident that the people from the middle class have higher income that the lower ...

Identifying Primary Issues of the American Immigration Situations

Dan Stein, being the president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform of FAIR, entails to establish an advocacy towards an improved system of immigration control in the United States.

It is a true fact that no solitary factor can fully explain the U.S health disadvantage. To me, it has numerous causes and comprises some mixture of insufficient health care, unfavorable economic, detrimental behaviors and social conditions. Without proceedings to invalidate existing trends, the health of the United States will doubtless continue to plummet behind that of citizens in the other developed countries.

This is an example of the posts used by Obamacare to familiarize the citizens on the existence of these cares.

The article describes further that those who haves lives in the rural areas and they are also against the Obamacare. Living in the rural areas makes this particular group to eat a healthy diet, unlike the minority group ...

Introduction
In the late 1820’s, the Northern Carolina became more industrialized as the Southern remained non-developed. The Congress had passed a high protective tariff in 1828 that made the southern states more furious because they thought the tariff only benefited the northern states. The southern claimed that high tariff on imports were imposed to them leading to increased costs of importing products. Bradley Hays saw the Southern states sympathy to South Carolina’s position on the tariff rejected as the cause of federalism (Hays 221). Eventually, the doctrine of nullification was introduced that provided an insight to the ...

Based on recent studies there is a correlation between child maltreatment and culture and ethnicity. Research indicates that child sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect are the most common forms of child maltreatment. However, childhood sexual abuse is the most common form of abuse among the Latinos with rates of almost 8%, which is higher than the childhood sexual abuse among the African Americans and the Asians. Additionally, childhood sexual abuse between the Chinese is lower than for the U.S children. This is because of the conservative Chinese cultural norms that discourage sexual activity at an early age.

Part 2: A Different Mirror [Chapter 1]

Rather than an unfolding, sanitized look at America’s historical past leading to its present in terms of ethnic diversity, Takaki takes the reader on a mini lecture-tour across time. In the chapter discussion he re-routes the audience to consider that the ideals and decisions of the U.S. forefathers (i.e. Thomas Jefferson) held the initial power and responsibility to establish the tone, power structure and belief of what evolved to become ‘American’ culture. Takaki agrees that the “narrow” focus “widely shared” is a generally accepted sense that an ‘American’ is a so-called designated ‘white’ person having descended from an Anglo Europe. The ...

Whilst drawing illustrations from the American government, Henry David Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” revolves around the ideologies of good governance and instances in which a person can defy his or her government. Thus, with illustrations drawn from poetry usage and criticisms regarding the American society, Thoreau’s article covers different topics. For example, there is an argument towards his doubts about the government reforming its ways whilst dealing with the commoners.
While Thoreau concurs with the ideology of a sufficient government being the one that governs least, he still points out that such a rule is only applicable to a people that ...

Written by Robert V. Remini, “The Jacksonian Revolution” revolves around the ascension of Andrew Jackson to Presidency and in turn, the launch of American politics’ transformations. After a History in which only the societies’ aristocrats governed the political sphere of the country, Jackson’s decision to vie for the presidential seat was shocking to most Americans (132). In addition, Jackson's decision was defilement of all of the Founding Fathers’ expectations about the country (132). Thus, otherwise dubbed the “Age of Jackson”, the “Jacksonian Era” of between 1828 and 1848 (132) saw the American government pay more heed to the ideologies ...

It shows empirical evidence by way of researches and tests that were done, by a wide cross-section that determined that racism is still alive and well.

America is a unique country in many aspects of life from the economy, military strength, political maturity, social connections/mobility, security and the divergent of races/ethnic groups.

Introduction

The US racial hierarchal system used to only demarcate the white/black color line. However, as more and more racially diverse populations migrate to the United States, the racial hierarchal system in the US adapts new ways to emphasize racial differences between whites and “others”. Guenther, Pendaz and Makene’s research about the intersections of identity of Eastern African immigrants and its impact on their racial status in the US present how racism in the United States continue to persist and grow to accommodate more and more ways to assert whites and degrade non-whites.

The Professor's name

In the article Katrina Shows Racial Divide in America, the author Jamal Watson, reintroduces the issues of racial inequality that exists in the USA.

It seems that racial divide is under spotlight only when some natural disaster affects the population of African-Americans. In this article, the hurricane Katrina serves as an evidence of the racial disparity. Watson argues that the issues of African-Americans are not presented to the rest of the world fairly. According to Watson (2007), "In my experience, many people outside America ...

Saudi Arabia is currently encouraging the global oil prices to reduce. The likely result of the reduction move is a strained relationship with the US.

The reducing of oil price ensures significant cuts in tax level of US consumers. If oil price reduction is sustained, it will negatively affect the economies ...

The Physician assistants’ practice was introduced in the United States of America during the late 1960s. The introduction of Physician assistants was to address the shortage of doctors (Hooker, Roderick and Everette, 20) Physician assistants have provided remarkable support to the physicians alongside the nurses in the USA. Their contribution especially in the primary healthcare can, therefore, not be underestimated. The increase in the physician assistants’ number over the years has been due to the global shortage of primary care doctors. The employment of the physician assistants has been a reasonable strategy in the primary healthcare provision in diverse populations ( ...

Possession of fire arms is something which is associated, rightly or wrongly, with the American history.

National health insurance by the current American regime is actually a good indication that the country has decided to avoid bad health. This may seem clear except for the fact that the insurance system is meant to reduce the expenses of a nation without necessarily making the person lose track of other expenses. This may be the case of America if the citizens did not have to have a rigid system of healthcare insurance. I must commend the idea of having a live insurance plan for the citizens but for the need to pay heavily for it. Currently, Americans tend to be the ...

The main thesis of Hixson’s article is that researching the relationship between popular culture and national security policy will help historians understand the processes through which society “absorbs and perpetuates predominant themes of national security discourse. Specifically, novels by authors such as Tom Clancy, le Carre, or Fleming, reflect perceptions of Russian and American behavior and perpetuate American myths, symbols, and images.
Tom Clancy is cited as reflecting American policy during the Reagan administration, and authors such as Spillane reflect an earlier era (1950s). By the 60s and 70s, the literature had become more ‘morally ambiguous,’ and ...

These groups of immigrants are used by terrorists to carry out terrorist activities, such as the activities carried out on 9/11. This essay therefore supports ...

The first article focuses on the basic legal rights stipulated in the civil rights section of the AFL-CIO website. These rights assure workers of healthy and safe environmental conditions at their workplace. However, these civil rights have been violated often as companies seek to maximize profits rather than care about their employees. The example of A.E.

The article also focuses on the plight of workers of African American and Latino descent. These employees have faced mistreatment ad discrimination ever since. African ...

In his work, Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective, George M. Fredrickson mentions the ‘burden of otherness.’ It seems that he is refereeing to racial difference and how people who were not than White Americans were considered ‘others’ and are were stigmatised and discriminated against as a result. Decades ago in America, racial contact severely involved the Indians and Blacks, because the most clear difference between individuals, and groups, was whether or not they were white. Earlier than World War II, such a pecking order was similarly centred around immigrants, mainly Irish, and Protestant over Catholics, but following the ...
