Roger Daniel’s points out that there is masses of evidence pre dating the 1920s which can argue that hostility toward immigrants was certainly not a new development in America. This is an equally important factor as it shows there was always a flaw with the ‘melting pot’ theory and hostility was always a major part of America’s history. In the 1860s large numbers of Chinese immigrants flocked to America as cheap labour for projects such as the Union Pacific Railroad and by the 1870s there was over 1000,000 Chinese immigrants in the United States. They were often threatened with racial violence and driven out by WASPs who were threatened by the cheap labour they were willing to offer.
Homeroom Reflection Junior year I have grown as a student this semester by watching the mala movie. This has helped me grow as a student because it showed me how just one voice can change so much in a community. From this experience I learned how Mala was an ordinary girl but who ones spoke up for what she believed was right for her community and the people all around her. After she started to change her community on a positive way for example, have more schools so students can have an education and making sure girls were able to attend school more often. Therefore, when she spoke up for what she thought was right and changed people 's life there was some who didn 't appreciate what she was doing so decided to shot her and ended up shooting her on her forehead.
The World’s Columbian Exposition was among the highest attended events during in 1893. The World’s Fair as it was known to the world, broadcasted various inventions that were deemed revolutionary. America was in the midst of the Gilded Age and Chicago was believed to be an acceptable location for this fair. Chicago was celebrating the four hundred year anniversary of Columbus’ arrival to the Americas and it seemed fitting for an outstanding presentation for middle class Americans and attendees throughout the world. Our research will focus on the importance of the Columbian World’s fair and why it was invested primarily in the northwestern part of the country, Chicago at the end of the Gilded Age, and the middle class of the population

Using the individual versus community we are forced to make a decision to either honor the John Doe or to do what is best for the community and put his organs up for donation. If we choose to honor the dead John Doe we would not donate his organs to the others that are on the transplant list seeing that we do not know if that is what he would have wanted for himself in his life. We do not know if donating his organs goes against his religion, beliefs, or personal standards. However, if we think about the community, more people would benefit from the organs if they were donated then if they were kept with the John doe. More people die waiting for organs than the amount of people who receive a second chance from being on the list, so as a community we should take every step we can to save the members of the community.
Everyone wants to be successful and achieve great things but how can being gritty and having a growth mindset help in this regard? To me, grit is just another way of saying courage, determination and persistence. Grit allows you to work really hard on things for long periods of time. By “Things” I mean your passions or goals. When you have a particular goal, grit comes in handy because it gives you the motivation to be successful in your objective.
Rodney Boulanger, My Grandpa, My Hero As we express gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them” -John F. Kennedy. The person that I appreciate and admire is my grandpa, Rodney Boulanger. He is a very serious fellow, but can also be very funny; there is nothing my grandpa wouldn’t do for his family. After semi-retiring from CMS Generation as CEO and president, he then started his own business called Vision Lodge which builds, remodels, and rents houses. My grandpa inspires me, because he has taught me that life is a bumpy road and your perspective on things will affect the outcome.
This year in textile technology, we have based our studies around fashion and culture in the 1960’s. The changes made during this era and the people involved have affected society majorly. The 60’s had a whirlwind of events, such as the Black Civil Rights Movement, the beginning of second wave feminism, as well as an extreme jump in Music, Art and Fashion. These all influenced the design of clothing and the acceptance of things that had never been seen before like the Mini Skirt. ‘DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE’.
