Kellogg's has established themselves as the leader with health–conscious innovative breakfast
choices such as Special K, All Bran and nineteen cereals (Kellogg's). While expanding yet Kellogg's
has come up with vegetarian–based food groups, Worthington Foods founded in 1999 and the
organic–based food, Kasha Company had been founded in 2000 (Kellogg's).
Over the years of 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 20010 the Kellogg's net sales were up by four
percent, the operating profit was up by three percent, net income attributable to Kellogg's Company
was up by five percent, basic per share accounts were up by seven percent, the diluted per share
amount was up seven percent, dividends paid per share were up by eight percent and the earnings
per share (diluted) were also up seven percent. In conclusion the Kellogg's company is a big known
company around the world; they have lots and lots of food, I never realized how many different
items that they had until I had chosen to use them for a project. It is easy to just grab a pop–tart in
the mornings for the kids as you run them to the bus stop. Kellogg's also has other foods such as
snack foods for the kids to grab. A lot of people probably eat Kellogg's foods about every day and
probably don't even realize that they are eating them. They do have a lot of good foods.

Materialism Is The Only Form Of Distraction From True Bliss
"Materialism is the only form of distraction from true bliss."– Douglas Horton. At the beginning of
"A Perfect Day for Bananafish", J.D. Salinger concentrates on the deranged Seymour Glass, who,
after being released from the Army hospital, isolates himself from blinded consumers. Seymour
returns to his family after World War II, only to become aware of the nauseating phoniness of the
world. Seymour attempts to rid his family of the superficial American dream with "The trees. That
business with the window. Those horrible things he [Seymour] said to Granny about her plans for
passing away. What he did with all those lovely pictures from Bermuda–everything'", but this
proves futile as he is just considered insane. Muriel, Seymour's wife, ... Show more content on

All those whom Seymour knows––Muriel and her family, the psychiatrist, and Sybil's mother––
reflect the oppressive adult world where true value is lost. On the contrary, the innocence and value
is still visible and pure within children. Salinger uses a young Sybil to symbolize the human
condition for Seymour. By speaking with Sybil, Seymour reconnects to the innocent, childlike state,
but this is short lived for when she leaves him, he is forced to submerge himself back into Muriel's
superficial life. Though briefly bringing Seymour hope and happiness, Sybil already resembles the
tarnishing spirit of man after she returns to the 'real world' of superficial paradise from the
imaginative dream Seymour and her have established: "'Goodbye,' said Sybil, and ran without regret
in the direction of the hotel" (Salinger 9). Salinger uses Sybil in reference to Greek mythology "like
the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom prophecy is revealed, the instrument
of truth; what she reveals to Seymour is the finality of that unbridgeable gap between human
aspiration and human possibility. Seymour's suicide is his summing up" (Lane). In the end,
Seymour's search for opportunity and innocence proves futile and his final attempt for true bliss or
nirvana imminent. Salinger often associates the phoniness of adulthood and materialism with the
constant complication of true communication. For the motif of

A Perfect Day For Bananafish By Salinger
In A Perfect Day for Bananafish it starts out with the wife of a veteran talking to her mother. The
wife and husband took a vacation by themselves. While talking to her mother, Muriel's mother is
worried about her because she doesn't think Muriel is safe, and should be with him. The mother
thinks Seymour, the husband, is unstable after the war. After Muriel insures her mother Seymour
and her are fine. Seymour is on the beach relaxing, when a little girl, he knows, comes up to him to
talk to him. While talking Seymour tells the little girls about bananafish, and how they go into a
hole that has bananas and eats them all. But they eat so many that they can't get out and die in there.

One author states in the quotations "Such innocence and freedom from the hypocrisy of adulthood
has vanished from his own life" ("A Perfect Day for Bananafish"). This author is uncovering when
people get older they lose how innocent and free they were as a child. They get too consumed in
how society makes adults seem, they want to be just like that. So they lose themselves in order to fit
in. To show what happens when some people realize this and can not handle it "Then he went over
and sat down on the unoccupied twin bed, look at the girl, aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet
through his right temple" (Salinger ). The author is illustrating that he started to get pulled into
adulthood. When someone gets pulled into adulthood they feel the only way to grow up is to follow
what everyone else is doing and not follow what they want to do themselves. Seymour mostly hangs
out with children because he can see the innocence and purity inside of them. After the war he
realizes he was starting to lose his own childhood innocence and freedom and did not want that to
happen. Since he felt that way, he thought the only way to fix it and not get pulled into society was
to kill himself. The author seems to be exploring the idea that as people get older they start to be
sucked into the idea of how they should look and act. Nobody keeps their innocence from a child
and do what they want to do. Seymour is disappointed at that

Sense Of Belonging Essay
Sense of belonging and interpersonal connectivity is widely researched topics in psychology, but
researches have disagreed on the significance of sense of belonging (Ma, 2003). Likewise, sense of
belonging has been defined in various ways. According to Vallerand, sense of belonging has to do
with the feeling of connectivity with others in the same environment, often involves the
identification of one's self with a particular group. When a sense of belonging is well established
among students, they feel accepted, loved and respected, which influence their self–image and
beliefs (Booker, 2004; Goodenow, 1993). Baumeister and Leary (1995) acknowledged that sense of

The feeling of belonging might have a direct impact on students' motivation and academic
achievement (Goodenow, 1993a). For example, when a sense of belonging is achievable within the
student's social interactions, there is a belief and determination which drives them to seek to prove
their worth both outside and within the academic setting (Goodenow, 1993a). Several studies
revealed that there is a significant relationship between sense of belonging and students' academic
performance (Booker, 2006; Akar vural et al., 2013). Students' academic effort and school success
are affected not only by individual differences in skill or ability but are also influenced by social
relationships at school. Goodenow investigated the relationship between the sense of belonging
among students and their expectations, harbored values, motivation level, and achievement in
several studies. The researcher also examined the relationship between sense of school membership,
expectancy of success, value, and effort . Findings in both studies showed that there was a strong
correlation between sense of accession, success expectation and overall input in efforts

Simplicity By William Zinsser
William Zinsser is an American writer who wrote an informational guide to writing. He made a
decision to revise a specific chapter called Simplicity. In the year 1980, the first version of
Simplicity was created, then came 1998 followed up by 2006. In the first version, 1980, Zinsser
created a long and wordy paper. He used specific examples but included details that were
unnecessary. This is ironic because the paper is about how writers can write unnecessary words and
phrases creating complicated sentences. He was not inclusive of gender, naming men as writers and
only using wives as examples of distraction. This draft had a complete count of 20 paragraphs. The
1998 version had few changes when compared to the 1980's version. There ... Show more content

(Paragraph 2–2006) He changed viscous language to clotted language. This makes sense, he used a
more commonly used word to this time period making it readable to a younger generation of readers
and writers. (Paragraph 2–2006) He took out "–on Christmas Eve or any other eve–," this made
sense because it was an extra unneeded detail. The sentence made complete sense just as "what
father or mother can put together a child's toy from the instructions on the box?". In paragraph 4 he
changed what was originally "the president of a major university" in versions from 1980 and 98 to
"the president of my university" in the 2006 version, making a personal connection with the reader.
(Paragraph 8– 2006) He completely redid the paragraph. In the 1980 and 1994 version, the 8th
paragraph was completely unneeded and included a story that seemed unrelated to the topic of
writing. It started as "I love to be alone". The 2006 version of this paragraph wasn't completely off
topic from the original. I still believe this paragraph isn't needed, even with the shortening. With the
2006 version he has taken out the "he's" and switched to "they". This allows women to feel
included, making it more likely for a female to enjoy the writing. It felt noninclusive in the first two
versions. In the newest version (paragraph 10) he included devices relevant to that time period.

The keys to the company's future value and growth are profitability (ROE) and the reinvestment of
retained earnings. Retained earnings are determined by dividend payout. The spreadsheet sets ROE
at 15% for the five years from 2006 to 2010. If Reeby Sports will lose its competitive edge by 2011,
then it cannot continue earning more than its 10% cost of capital. Therefore ROE is reduced to 10%
starting in 2011. The payout ratio is set at .30 from 2006 onwards. Notice that the long–term growth
rate, which settles in between 2011 and 2012, is ROE × ( 1 – dividend payout ratio ) = .10 × (1 –

Notice that the PV in 2004 remains at $16.82. This makes sense, since the value of a firm should not
depend on the investment horizon chosen for valuation. We have reduced ROE to the 10% cost of
capital after 2010, assuming that the company will have exhausted valuable growth opportunities by
that date. With PVGO = 0, PV = EPS/r. So we could discard the constant–growth DCF formula and
just divide EPS in 2011 by the cost of capital: The keys to the company's future value and growth

Analysis Of A Perfect Day For Bananafish
Michael Connelly, a published author once said that, "You can't patch a wounded soul with a band–
aid". By saying that, Connelly is explaining that with mental illnesses you can't just fix the
symptoms, you have to fix the problem it will only get worse. A Perfect Day for Bananafish by J.D.
Salinger tells about a man named Seymour who suffers from PTSD who comes home from war and
goes on a honeymoon with his wife to Florida, where he ultimately kills himself, reasons for this
include, that he wants to relieve himself of the pain, he needs help that he is not getting, and he is
isolated from his wife and her world. One of the reasons Seymour kills himself is because he wants
to end his suffering. In the short story, when discussing bananafish, Seymour states, "'they swim into
a hole where there's a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary–looking fish when they swim in. But
once they get in, they behave like pigs. Why, I've known some bananafish to swim into a banana
hole and eat as many as seventy–eight bananas.' ... Naturally, after that they're so fat they can't get
out of the whole again ... [then] they die" (Salinger 14). The bananafish keep eating and eating until
they are so fat they die. Seymour is like this in the way that he keeps digging himself deeper and
deeper into the hole of reclusiveness and depression until he just exploded and died. Another reason
for Seymour's suicide is that he not getting the help that he needs to function in society. When this

Grace Spottswood, 1–30–15, Watermelon Lupus: Imagine skiing down the slopes and watching all
of the happy people enjoying their ski trip, and wondering, why do I feel so sick? Imagine going to

your symptoms are real, but you know something isn't right. After five years of suffering, you are
finally diagnosed with an incurable disease. Somehow you feel relief. This mystery disease is called
lupus, an autoimmune disease which makes the body unable to tell healthy tissue from unhealthy
tissue. The body then attacks the healthy tissue to get rid of what it believes is unhealthy tissue, this
mistake causes the body to inflict pain on itself. No new drug to treat lupus has been created in 50
years, yet 2 million people in America, and 5 million people worldwide are suffering from this

Depending on your specific case of lupus, lifestyle changes just may be enough to control your

approval of the FDA for release to the wide population of lupus patients. If this drug is approved, it
will be the first new drug on the market to treat lupus in fifty years. Hopefully, since some research

Violence Numbers in the Middle East
While the rest of the world appears to be seeing decreasing levels of violence, it appears the Middle
East has yet to experience this same trend. The past couple of decades have seen either a decrease in
violence and types of violence that the West has not experienced for a time. This then brings the
questions, is the Middle East more violent or is nothing more than Islamophobia. One way to
answer this question is to look at the numbers. In Pinker's, The Better Angels of our Nature, he
compares the number of interstate conflicts with the number of Islamic conflicts. By this graph, it
can be clearly seen that since the 1990s, the number of interstate conflicts has been decreasing, but
the number of Islamic conflicts has not. With the use of this data, he shows that the Middle East has
not been following the trends of less violence as compared with the rest of the world. However, is
this data alone to say that the Middle East is more violent? There are a number of issues need to be
looked at besides conflict. These include other types of violence. A type of violence that can be
quantified is homicide rates. In comparing homicide rates from the Middle East with other areas of
the world like Western powers of the United States, Canada, and England an interesting set of date
emerge. Data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) from the years 1999–

The No Child Left Behind Act
Traditionally, educators have been held to some degree of expectation regarding student learning
and increasing student aptitude; however, public expectations increased to a new level as a result of
the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act [NCLB] (2002). NCLB was passed to ensure
educational equity and increased academic achievement for all students. The legislation charged
school district leaders with holding schools accountable for alignment with national and/or state
standards that often mandated significant gains in student academic achievement, particularly for
low–performing student populations, and that is measured by student performance on high–stakes
tests. The test results created the data analyzed to design ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Effective leadership has been identified as a critical component for guiding school improvement;
however, leaders who fail to establish a vision supported by thorough analysis of student
performance data will be unlikely to focus instructional changes in critically needed areas.
The use of various types of technology, timely turn around of data reports, different levels of access
to data sets, time restrictions and insufficient technology skills training (Lachat & Smith, 2005;
Marsh et al., 2006; Wayman et al., 2006; Wayman, Jimerson, & Cho, 2011) are conflicting variables
that confound creation of a clear vision and stable infrastructure for the implementation of sound
technological practices. Many technology–related issues can contribute to confusion rather than
focus on the critical areas needing improvement.
Additional challenges with successfully examining multiple assessments include the lack of skills,
know–how, and professional development for understanding the implications of data results and the
lack of guidance in developing timely and appropriate responses for modifications in pedagogy
(Wayman, 2005; Marsh et al., 2006). Some researchers argue these are a direct consequence of data

The Immigration Act Of 1924: Article Analysis
According to the "Office of The Historian" article The Immigration Act of 1924 was a way for
congress to restrain the number of immigrants coming to the US each year. This act restricted people
who came from the "asiatic barred zone" to enter the United States and many had to past a series of
tests to be allowed through such as the ability to read.
In the article "Prohibition" it reveals that the 18th Amendment outlawed the making of, transporting
and selling of alcohol in the United States, which was difficult to administer. This law was meant to
help improve things such as crime, but it instead brought the opposite. With the increase of violence,
crime, and bootlegging, Prohibition ended in 1933 with the 21st Amendment added.

The Sense Of Belonging And Interpersonal Connectivity
The sense of belonging and interpersonal connectivity is a widely researched topic in psychology,
but controversies have been surrounding it among different researchers (Ma, 2003). Also, it has been
defined in various ways . According to Vallerand, sense of belonging has to do with the feeling of
connectivity with others in the same environment, often involving identifying oneself with a
particular group. When the sense of belonging is deeply rooted within a group, one feels accepted,
loved and respected in self– image, personally and what they believe in (Booker, 2004; Goodenow,
1993). Baumeister and Leary (1995) acknowledged that sense of belonging has two features: contact
and interactions at regular basis and the context of love and care. Baumeister and Leary said that
"human beings have a pervasive drive to form and maintain at least a minimum quantity of lasting,
positive, and significant interpersonal relationships" (Baumeister & Leary, 1995, p. 497). The sense
of belonging has a lasting effect on one's personality in respect with emotions and other cognitive
processes (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). When the sense of belonging is at its lowest, students are
prone to being engulfed by solitary thoughts, feel lonely and lose interest in many social interaction
opportunities (Goodenow, 1993). This in turn is attributed to dwindling academic performance, as
the students don't feel accepted and motivated within the social parameters around them

This was the first comprehensive law that outlined who could and who could not enter the United
States legally (Immigration). After this act was integrated there was an issue of how many people
were entering this country alongside who was allowed to enter. In 1924 there was another act passed
that limited the number of people that were allowed to immigrate to this country and also a
national–origin quota was implemented (Immigration).
In 1952 the Immigration and Nationality Act was put into place to remove restrictions on Asian
immigration but still upholding immigration quotas that were established with the Immigration Act
of 1924 (Immigration). There was an amendment to this act in 1965. This act was written to rid the
quotas of countries of origin.

Differences Between Entrepreneurship And Leadership
Entrepreneurship scholars have highlighted the differences between entrepreneurial leaders and
other leaders in three domains. First, entrepreneurial leaders possess inherent characteristics that
differentiate them from other leaders and motivate and enable them to enter the challenging process
of leading entrepreneurial activities (Chen, 2007; Kuratko, 2007; Fernald et al., 2005; Gupta et al.,
2004; Nicholson, 1998). Entrepreneurial characteristics which are most referred to with respect to
both entrepreneurial leaders and organisations are innovativeness, proactiveness and risk taking
(Chen, 2007; Kuratko, 2007; Gupta et al., 2004; Covin & Slevin, 1991). Innovativeness is the ability
and tendency of entrepreneurial leaders to think creatively ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

For example, Fernald et al. (2005) argue that most of the tasks and roles of entrepreneurs are
leadership–based and Cogliser and Brigham (2004) emphasise that organisational leaders require
entrepreneurial competencies to deal with the difficulties and impediments in the environment of
current organisations. Specifically, scholars argue that entrepreneurial leaders' competencies in
anticipating the future, exploring new opportunities, creating novel ideas and providing an
environment for staff that encourages and supports generating and implementing new ideas help
organisational leaders face problems and achieve their vision (Burns, 2005; Gupta et al., 2004).
Various factors such as personal characteristics, organisational and task performance demands and
environmental factors affect the process of influencing followers that makes leadership as a highly
challenging role for entrepreneurial leaders (Leitch et al., in press; Kempster & Cope, 2010;
Kempster, 2009, 2006). Despite these differences, however, there are also key similarities between
entrepreneurial leadership and the terms that construct the concept: entrepreneurship and leadership.

Analysis Of The Catcher In The Rye By J. D. Salinger
A lost sixteen year old boy deals with death and trying to find his place in the world. Despite
growing up in a privileged white household, Holden Caulfield is still crippled with feeling invisible.
In Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, he makes Holden come to life by creating a personality that is
easily relatable to rebellious teenage boys. And though this work caused much controversy, Salinger
was able to capture the struggles of not wanting to grow up and the preservation of innocence. In
The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger creates a character that reflects his own difficulties growing up
in a privileged white household in the 1950s while struggling with the the difficult realities of the
adult world and finding his place in the it. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It's so phony" (Salinger 115). Holden is different from most teenage boys, he is overwhelmed with
the feelings of loss when he does not even know who he is yet. At one point, Holden feels like he is
disappearing into the adult world. To guarantee his place in the it, Holden calls out to Allie "don't let
me disappear. Please Allie" (Salinger 213). His fear of conformity is another reason why this book
was so controversial. Parents felt threatened by Salinger's views on a non conformist society and
contradicted their beliefs (Weinstein 125). People did not want to listen to Salinger's views on
society, because he threatened the new, stable, 1950's American society. In the meantime, teenagers
during this time were becoming more rebellious and defiant. Holden exemplified the kid that
parents did not want their child to turn into or the kid that they did not want their child hanging
with. He is described to be a "troubled teen trying to work his way through adolescence in a world
peopled by phonies" (Kahane). The phonies of the world are those people who surrendered their
individuality to conform to society's definition of normal. Holden's rebellious nature is a result of
defying the social norms and pressures of his time. He is thought to be a dangerous thinker who
would endanger the new America. And because of his beliefs, he feels he is

Performance management mostly is not successful as expected in the public sector. According to

i.e. integrating performance systems into the original systems (Gianakis, 2002), a lack of strategic

What Is The Theme Of The Catcher In The Rye
The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, is one of the most controversial novels ever written. It has
been banned and unbanned many times and has been constantly cited for its foul language, lacking
plot, and unclear morals. While the novel may have flaws, one would be hard–pressed to find the
perfect novel. It is also important to understand the context under which the novel was written and
the ideas and feelings the author was trying to convey. Once these are understood, it becomes
increasingly clear that J.D. Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, definitely still has a place in
school curricula for its unique style. Many teenagers today struggle with depression or any
condition lying on that spectrum, and one of the greatest senses of comfort one can have is the
knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles. Despite being drunk, Mr. Antolini eloquently
highlights this point when talking to Holden later in the novel: Many, many men have been just as
troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their
troubles. You'll learn from them – if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer,
someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't
education. It's history. It's poetry." (Salinger 189) During one of their most impressionable stages of
life, a connection with Holden's feelings can be invaluable for teenagers when they hit their lows.

Immigration To America After 1924
Immigration The United States has the most open immigration policy in the world according to the
Center for Immigration Studies. Immigration is regulated by the federal government since 1875, and
the immigration service was established in 1891 to handle the increase in immigration into the
United States. The amount of people immigrating to the United States continued to increase, so
Congress introduced a new immigration policy called the National Origins Quota system which was
passed in 1921 and revised in 1924. This new law limited the amount of people immigration into the
United States by giving each nationality a quota based on its representation in the U.S census, and in
1924 the Border Patrol was created as a part of the Immigration service. Over the next 40 years after
1924 there was little immigration, during the Great Depression net immigration actually dropped
below zero. After World War II immigration continued to remain low because of the National
Origins Quota system, and in 1952 the National Origins Quota system and all of the other
immigration and naturalization laws were combined into the Immigration and Nationality Act. The
national origins system was replaced by Preference system in 1965 which was created to unite
immigrant families and attract skilled immigrants to America; now people who are immigrating to
America mostly come from Asia and Latin America, the new preference system created in 1965 also

For this very reason, many immigrants came to America and took native citizens jobs. This seemed
to be a problem because it left many American citizens without jobs. (O.I) Since immigrants would
work for a lower wage, employers didn't mind hiring them, since they're saving money. However,

One journalist stated, "The problem of sensationalism resolves itself largely into a question of
balance ." One major reason why sensationalism was a huge factor in this case was because there
was no outright probable motive for the murder of Bobby Frank. People could not grasp that the
boys committed such a heinous crime just to fulfill psychological desires. This was a splinter in the
case that affected popular culture, crime, and law. Almost every other culprit in US history had a
motive for their crimes, and it confused the public masses and made it difficult to understand the
crime because this time there was none. Leopold and Loeb had no reason to kidnap and kill Bobby
Frank. They both came from wealthy families and did not need the ransom money they were asking
for. They were seen as unlikely killers and this created a problem to the public. If these two boys
could kill for no reason at all, could other children do the same thing? The exploitation of the case
turned from sensationalism to dangers of modern youth slowly but progressively. The journalist's
began to see that the case was losing its popularity and believed they needed to create a reflection of

Theme Of Materialism In A Perfect Day For Bananafish
A marriage between a man and a woman is scared. You vow to have and to hold, for better, for
worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. This is the conflict
seen in the short story, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" by J.D. Salinger. We are provided with
Muriel Glass, the wife that disregards her vows and is more into materialism than the importance of
Seymour Glass, her husband and his emotional well being upon returning from World War II. In this
story materialism as I am using it, is the meaning of being so consumed in physical appearance or
the acquisition of wealth, accompanied with the appetite of material possessions, rather than with
spiritual values. We see the illustration of how the personality of being materialist versus on one that
relies on emotional wellbeing clash and collide. Obtaining a personality like the one of Muriel
generates a blindness to what truly is important in life, especially in a successful marriage.
Focusing on the Muriel Glass as the main issue, we see a numerous amount of evidence as to why
she is so self centered. Most important so incredibly into being materialist that she totally ignores
signs that her husband needs her emotional support through this tough time. The first signs we see to
prove that Muriel is into physical appearance is on page three where J.D. Salinger writes, "She
washed her comb and brush. She took the spot out of the skirt of her beige suit. She moved the
button on her Saks blouse. She tweezed out two freshly surfaced hairs in her mole." With that we
get the knowledge of someone who is definitely vain. We now know that Muriel uses up her time to
look impressive and make sure she is clean–cut. Another critical sign that she is very object
orientated is on page eleven during, the telephone conversation with her mother in which she states,
"You remember that awful dinner dress we saw in Bonwit's window? ... She had it on. And all hips."
(Salinger) The indication from this is that she judges others based on what they are wearing.
Concluding, that she is into clothing and how it is worn, especially how others wear it. We even get

Protecting the Innocence; An Overview of The Catcher in the Rye During the nineteen fifties, as the
population of the United States hurdled in a whirlpool of amiss, a writer sought to conserve
innocence as teenagers move into adulthood. The change from their teenage years to adulthood
made them question religion, friendships, and fate. J. D. Salinger saw this as a potential pitfall for
teens; therefore, he adopts a unique writing style to which they can relate to. Sol and Miriam
Salinger's son, Jerome David Salinger, was born on January 1st, 1919 in New York ("Salinger").
Supported by her Jewish husband, a successful meat and cheese importer, Miriam was able to raise
Salinger and his two older siblings in the fashionable apartment district of upper Manhattan
(French). In 1934 Salinger attended Valley Forge Military academy, where he grasped literature and
began writing short stories (French). In spite of later being drafted to be in the military during World
War II, Salinger wrote numerous works which inspired the lives of countless Americans. Through
his use of point of view, characterization, and symbolism, Salinger aims towards conserving
teenagers' innocence as they move into adulthood in The Catcher in the Rye.

It does not, however, confirm the belief in the frequency that appears to drive support of the Trump
administration's immigration policy.
Although events such as San Bernardino in 2015 provide anecdotal evidence of immigrants
committing acts of extreme violence, these events are extremely rare. Nonetheless, tragedies such as
these inevitably grab headlines and capture the attention of millions of Americans across the
country. Tragedies such as the attack in San Bernardino hold strong emotional appeal to proponents
for restrictive immigration policy. However, these rare and uncontrollable events should not provide
the base of logic for America's national immigration policy as they are not a proxy for immigrant
behavior as a whole. Various statistics regarding crime among immigrants may reveal an underlying
reason for lower crime rates, which is that the majority of immigrants understand the implications of
committing a crime and know that it would not be in their best interest as a new member of the
country they wish to call home. Natives, moreover, have crime rates five times that of immigrants.
This demonstrates the potential positive externalities that immigrants contribute to the social sphere
by lowering the crime rate and acting as models within urban America.
Concern over the effect immigrants have on the earnings prospects of natives has been another
major contributor in fueling a more nativist immigration policy.

corruption of the officials and oppression of the scrutinizing staff. The article enumerates the
significance of the agitation, modes of protests, meetings, petitions, grievances and tussle for their
rights which equip grounds for other labour movements in the state. The Muslim organisation inside
and outside the state support and promulgates its compass till it burst in the form of labour uprising.
A brief sketch of the evolution of class consciousness among the labourers had been established
which set an example for the downtrodden masses to fight for their rights. The agitation was an
eruption against the existing economic organisation of the state and their anguish against the
princely rule of the state. Key words: – Labour, Silk, Factory, wages, officials and grievances.

The Immigration Act Of 1924
America is no foreigner to immigrants. From the pilgrims who came searching for religious
liberation to African slaves that had lost their liberty, America's history has been shaped by the
influx of immigrants from different parts of the world. As America grew, it became, and still is, a
promised land for many. As a result, immigration has become a pivotal topic in the American culture
and with time, the dynamics of immigration has changed due to a shifting of focus between different
immigrant groups. From the Chinese exclusion act in 1882 to the Immigration Act of 1924, which
restricted Eastern European immigrants' access to the USA, different groups of people have been the
principal focus of immigration reform (HISTORY Corporation, 2009). Since the early–20th century
to present, the main group of focus with immigration reform has been Hispanics, mainly Mexicans.
From deportation to discrimination, many Mexicans have struggled in the hands of immigration
laws. This pain is evident in the cultural marks Mexicans have left in American Culture. A prime
example of such mark is within the Chicano movement. Beginning in the 1960s, the Chicano
movement aimed to address the social injustices that the Mexican population faced in America.
(Mendoza, 2001). From reinstatement of land rights to voter and political rights, these social
injustices propelled the Chicano movement to fight for civil rights. This passion fueled multiple
artistic expressions and many Chicano artists mirrored

Over-dependence on Technology Essay
Regina Fleck has an iPhone 7 and she admits, "I no longer feel frustrated or impatient. That emotion
now manifests in me as a desire to check my e–mail." (Tran). All around the world, technology has
taken over the lives of many, especially children. Each year younger children are being introduced
to new technology to help them learn and grow, but the effects of this may be different from what is
expected. Rather than seeing growth, the overuse of technology is leading to many issues, including
a decline in creativity, less active lifestyles, and difficulty falling asleep. The growing
overdependence on and overuse of technology is affecting young children both mentally and
physically.
Throughout the world, but in America especially, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Also, the parents are the ones who are buying the games and the food that the children eat, so it can't
be blamed on the children. Others believe that the ads and commercials are nearly irresistible to
children, and parents are just trying to keep their children happy. Whatever the case, the major cause
of it is the technology (Browning).
Another source of the overdependence of technology in children is school. At school, they are
introduced to technology at a very young age, sometimes even in preschool. Children are introduced
to calculators at a very young age, helping them with math problems they should be able to do in
their heads. The teachers are encouraging it so the students don't take the time to learn how to do it
out and then struggle when they have no calculator. Also, children today are proven to have much
worse handwriting than in the past. They are now expected to type English essays and in elementary
school; many aren't taught cursive but rather how to use computers. For example, in 2009, 97
percent of teachers had at least one computer in their room, and out of that, 93 percent of the
computers were connected to the Internet (Gray, Thomas, Lewis). Intelligence is continuously
decreasing due to all of the shortcuts children now are able to take advantage of. In some aspects,
the advancements are really aiding students. They have almost any information they can imagine
wherever they go, just by going to Google. Typing is neat and

The Teapot Dome Scandal Of 1923-1924
1. The Teapot Dome Scandal of 1923–1924 was about Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall when he
accepted bribes to lease government property to private oil companies. This was a big deal after he
handed a Wyoming oil reserve to the Mammoth Oil Company. This case was huge because he was
the first cabinet member to ever go to jail.

Alfred E. Smith was elected governor of New York. During his governorship, he was the leader of
progressive reform and civil rights. He was also the first Roman Catholic to run for president.
9. The stock market crash of 1929 was caused by the rapid increase of debt and large bank loans.
10. President Hoover fail to effectively deal with the economic crisis because he didn't really know
what to do. All his efforts seemed to fail. Many Americans thought that Hoover wasn't doing
anything to fight the economic crisis but he was. He tried voluntarism, exhortation, and limited
government intervention.
11. The bonus army of 1932 was a group of World War 1 veterans and their families who gathered at
Washington DC demanding cash for their services. President Hoover opposed the bonus bill because
he was concerned about the federal budget.
12. Franklin Roosevelt defeated President Hoover in the election of 1932 because he promised to
use the power of the federal government to fight and decrease the economic crisis. He also
supported direct relief payments for the unemployed people. He promised reform.

  • 2. Materialism Is The Only Form Of Distraction From True Bliss "Materialism is the only form of distraction from true bliss."– Douglas Horton. At the beginning of "A Perfect Day for Bananafish", J.D. Salinger concentrates on the deranged Seymour Glass, who, after being released from the Army hospital, isolates himself from blinded consumers. Seymour returns to his family after World War II, only to become aware of the nauseating phoniness of the world. Seymour attempts to rid his family of the superficial American dream with "The trees. That business with the window. Those horrible things he [Seymour] said to Granny about her plans for passing away. What he did with all those lovely pictures from Bermuda–everything'", but this proves futile as he is just considered insane. Muriel, Seymour's wife, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... All those whom Seymour knows––Muriel and her family, the psychiatrist, and Sybil's mother–– reflect the oppressive adult world where true value is lost. On the contrary, the innocence and value is still visible and pure within children. Salinger uses a young Sybil to symbolize the human condition for Seymour. By speaking with Sybil, Seymour reconnects to the innocent, childlike state, but this is short lived for when she leaves him, he is forced to submerge himself back into Muriel's superficial life. Though briefly bringing Seymour hope and happiness, Sybil already resembles the tarnishing spirit of man after she returns to the 'real world' of superficial paradise from the imaginative dream Seymour and her have established: "'Goodbye,' said Sybil, and ran without regret in the direction of the hotel" (Salinger 9). Salinger uses Sybil in reference to Greek mythology "like the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom prophecy is revealed, the instrument of truth; what she reveals to Seymour is the finality of that unbridgeable gap between human aspiration and human possibility. Seymour's suicide is his summing up" (Lane). In the end, Seymour's search for opportunity and innocence proves futile and his final attempt for true bliss or nirvana imminent. Salinger often associates the phoniness of adulthood and materialism with the constant complication of true communication. For the motif of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. A Perfect Day For Bananafish By Salinger In A Perfect Day for Bananafish it starts out with the wife of a veteran talking to her mother. The wife and husband took a vacation by themselves. While talking to her mother, Muriel's mother is worried about her because she doesn't think Muriel is safe, and should be with him. The mother thinks Seymour, the husband, is unstable after the war. After Muriel insures her mother Seymour and her are fine. Seymour is on the beach relaxing, when a little girl, he knows, comes up to him to talk to him. While talking Seymour tells the little girls about bananafish, and how they go into a hole that has bananas and eats them all. But they eat so many that they can't get out and die in there. After the little girl says she finds one Seymour says it's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One author states in the quotations "Such innocence and freedom from the hypocrisy of adulthood has vanished from his own life" ("A Perfect Day for Bananafish"). This author is uncovering when people get older they lose how innocent and free they were as a child. They get too consumed in how society makes adults seem, they want to be just like that. So they lose themselves in order to fit in. To show what happens when some people realize this and can not handle it "Then he went over and sat down on the unoccupied twin bed, look at the girl, aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet through his right temple" (Salinger ). The author is illustrating that he started to get pulled into adulthood. When someone gets pulled into adulthood they feel the only way to grow up is to follow what everyone else is doing and not follow what they want to do themselves. Seymour mostly hangs out with children because he can see the innocence and purity inside of them. After the war he realizes he was starting to lose his own childhood innocence and freedom and did not want that to happen. Since he felt that way, he thought the only way to fix it and not get pulled into society was to kill himself. The author seems to be exploring the idea that as people get older they start to be sucked into the idea of how they should look and act. Nobody keeps their innocence from a child and do what they want to do. Seymour is disappointed at that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Sense Of Belonging Essay Sense of belonging and interpersonal connectivity is widely researched topics in psychology, but researches have disagreed on the significance of sense of belonging (Ma, 2003). Likewise, sense of belonging has been defined in various ways. According to Vallerand, sense of belonging has to do with the feeling of connectivity with others in the same environment, often involves the identification of one's self with a particular group. When a sense of belonging is well established among students, they feel accepted, loved and respected, which influence their self–image and beliefs (Booker, 2004; Goodenow, 1993).

The feeling of belonging might have a direct impact on students' motivation and academic achievement (Goodenow, 1993a). For example, when a sense of belonging is achievable within the student's social interactions, there is a belief and determination which drives them to seek to prove their worth both outside and within the academic setting (Goodenow, 1993a). Several studies revealed that there is a significant relationship between sense of belonging and students' academic performance (Booker, 2006; Akar vural et al., 2013). Students' academic effort and school success are affected not only by individual differences in skill or ability but are also influenced by social relationships at school. Goodenow investigated the relationship between the sense of belonging among students and their expectations, harbored values, motivation level, and achievement in several studies. The researcher also examined the relationship between sense of school membership, expectancy of success, value, and effort .

  • 5. Simplicity By William Zinsser William Zinsser is an American writer who wrote an informational guide to writing. He made a decision to revise a specific chapter called Simplicity. In the year 1980, the first version of Simplicity was created, then came 1998 followed up by 2006. In the first version, 1980, Zinsser created a long and wordy paper. He used specific examples but included details that were unnecessary. This is ironic because the paper is about how writers can write unnecessary words and phrases creating complicated sentences. He was not inclusive of gender, naming men as writers and only using wives as examples of distraction. This draft had a complete count of 20 paragraphs.

This makes sense, he used a more commonly used word to this time period making it readable to a younger generation of readers and writers. (Paragraph 2–2006) He took out "–on Christmas Eve or any other eve–," this made sense because it was an extra unneeded detail. The sentence made complete sense just as "what father or mother can put together a child's toy from the instructions on the box?". In paragraph 4 he changed what was originally "the president of a major university" in versions from 1980 and 98 to "the president of my university" in the 2006 version, making a personal connection with the reader. (Paragraph 8– 2006) He completely redid the paragraph. In the 1980 and 1994 version, the 8th paragraph was completely unneeded and included a story that seemed unrelated to the topic of writing. It started as "I love to be alone". The 2006 version of this paragraph wasn't completely off topic from the original. I still believe this paragraph isn't needed, even with the shortening. With the 2006 version he has taken out the "he's" and switched to "they". This allows women to feel included, making it more likely for a female to enjoy the writing. It felt noninclusive in the first two versions. In the newest version (paragraph 10) he included devices relevant to that time period.

By saying that, Connelly is explaining that with mental illnesses you can't just fix the symptoms, you have to fix the problem it will only get worse. A Perfect Day for Bananafish by J.D. Salinger tells about a man named Seymour who suffers from PTSD who comes home from war and goes on a honeymoon with his wife to Florida, where he ultimately kills himself, reasons for this include, that he wants to relieve himself of the pain, he needs help that he is not getting, and he is isolated from his wife and her world. One of the reasons Seymour kills himself is because he wants to end his suffering. In the short story, when discussing bananafish, Seymour states, "'they swim into a hole where there's a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary–looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in, they behave like pigs. Why, I've known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy–eight bananas.' ...

After five years of suffering, you are finally diagnosed with an incurable disease. Somehow you feel relief.

The body then attacks the healthy tissue to get rid of what it believes is unhealthy tissue, this mistake causes the body to inflict pain on itself. No new drug to treat lupus has been created in 50 years, yet 2 million people in America, and 5 million people worldwide are suffering from this disease ("Lupus: Causes, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment").

  • 11. Violence Numbers in the Middle East While the rest of the world appears to be seeing decreasing levels of violence, it appears the Middle East has yet to experience this same trend. The past couple of decades have seen either a decrease in violence and types of violence that the West has not experienced for a time. This then brings the questions, is the Middle East more violent or is nothing more than Islamophobia. One way to answer this question is to look at the numbers. In Pinker's, The Better Angels of our Nature, he compares the number of interstate conflicts with the number of Islamic conflicts. By this graph, it can be clearly seen that since the 1990s, the number of interstate conflicts has been decreasing, but the number of Islamic conflicts has not. With the use of this data, he shows that the Middle East has not been following the trends of less violence as compared with the rest of the world. However, is this data alone to say that the Middle East is more violent? There are a number of issues need to be looked at besides conflict. These include other types of violence. A type of violence that can be quantified is homicide rates. In comparing homicide rates from the Middle East with other areas of the world like Western powers of the United States, Canada, and England an interesting set of date emerge.

  • 16. The Sense Of Belonging And Interpersonal Connectivity The sense of belonging and interpersonal connectivity is a widely researched topic in psychology, but controversies have been surrounding it among different researchers (Ma, 2003). Also, it has been defined in various ways . According to Vallerand, sense of belonging has to do with the feeling of connectivity with others in the same environment, often involving identifying oneself with a particular group. When the sense of belonging is deeply rooted within a group, one feels accepted, loved and respected in self– image, personally and what they believe in (Booker, 2004; Goodenow, 1993). Baumeister and Leary (1995) acknowledged that sense of belonging has two features: contact and interactions at regular basis and the context of love and care. Baumeister and Leary said that "human beings have a pervasive drive to form and maintain at least a minimum quantity of lasting, positive, and significant interpersonal relationships" (Baumeister & Leary, 1995, p. 497). The sense of belonging has a lasting effect on one's personality in respect with emotions and other cognitive processes (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). When the sense of belonging is at its lowest, students are prone to being engulfed by solitary thoughts, feel lonely and lose interest in many social interaction opportunities (Goodenow, 1993). This in turn is attributed to dwindling academic performance, as the students don't feel accepted and motivated within the social parameters around them (Goodenow, 1993). Considerable ...

Entrepreneurial characteristics which are most referred to with respect to both entrepreneurial leaders and organisations are innovativeness, proactiveness and risk taking (Chen, 2007; Kuratko, 2007; Gupta et al., 2004; Covin & Slevin, 1991).

(2005) argue that most of the tasks and roles of entrepreneurs are leadership–based and Cogliser and Brigham (2004) emphasise that organisational leaders require entrepreneurial competencies to deal with the difficulties and impediments in the environment of current organisations. Specifically, scholars argue that entrepreneurial leaders' competencies in anticipating the future, exploring new opportunities, creating novel ideas and providing an environment for staff that encourages and supports generating and implementing new ideas help organisational leaders face problems and achieve their vision (Burns, 2005; Gupta et al., 2004). Various factors such as personal characteristics, organisational and task performance demands and environmental factors affect the process of influencing followers that makes leadership as a highly challenging role for entrepreneurial leaders (Leitch et al., in press; Kempster & Cope, 2010; Kempster, 2009, 2006).

His fear of conformity is another reason why this book was so controversial. Parents felt threatened by Salinger's views on a non conformist society and contradicted their beliefs (Weinstein 125). People did not want to listen to Salinger's views on society, because he threatened the new, stable, 1950's American society. In the meantime, teenagers during this time were becoming more rebellious and defiant. Holden exemplified the kid that parents did not want their child to turn into or the kid that they did not want their child hanging with. He is described to be a "troubled teen trying to work his way through adolescence in a world peopled by phonies" (Kahane). The phonies of the world are those people who surrendered their individuality to conform to society's definition of normal.

Nevertheless, organisations are focusing on improving the technical problems of their indicators (Pollitt, 2005). Secondly, systems problems are related to the "bigger picture" issues, i.e. integrating performance systems into the original systems (Gianakis, 2002), a lack of strategic view which encourages short–term thinking (Neely et al., 1995), the ambiguity of performance objectives (Pollanen, 2005), sub–optimisation (Neely et al., 1995; Pollitt, 2000; Gianakis, 2002; Adcroft and Willis, 2005) and the cost of performance management (Train and Williams, 2000; Holzer and Yang, 2004; Pollanen, 2005).

It is also important to understand the context under which the novel was written and the ideas and feelings the author was trying to convey. Once these are understood, it becomes increasingly clear that J.D. Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, definitely still has a place in school curricula for its unique style. Many teenagers today struggle with depression or any condition lying on that spectrum, and one of the greatest senses of comfort one can have is the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles. Despite being drunk, Mr. Antolini eloquently highlights this point when talking to Holden later in the novel: Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them – if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." (Salinger 189) During one of their most impressionable stages of life, a connection with Holden's feelings can be invaluable for teenagers when they hit their lows. It's not often that ...

Immigration is regulated by the federal government since 1875, and the immigration service was established in 1891 to handle the increase in immigration into the United States. The amount of people immigrating to the United States continued to increase, so Congress introduced a new immigration policy called the National Origins Quota system which was passed in 1921 and revised in 1924. This new law limited the amount of people immigration into the United States by giving each nationality a quota based on its representation in the U.S census, and in 1924 the Border Patrol was created as a part of the Immigration service. Over the next 40 years after 1924 there was little immigration, during the Great Depression net immigration actually dropped below zero. After World War II immigration continued to remain low because of the National Origins Quota system, and in 1952 the National Origins Quota system and all of the other immigration and naturalization laws were combined into the Immigration and Nationality Act. The national origins system was replaced by Preference system in 1965 which was created to unite immigrant families and attract skilled immigrants to America; now people who are immigrating to America mostly come from Asia and Latin America, the new preference system created in 1965 also limited the visas that ...

Then in 1924, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1924. The act limited the number of aliens that are allowed in the U.S. Congress passed this act because they felt that immigrant threaten America's "old ways."

It was a crime committed by two wealthy teenage boys, Richard Leopold and Nathan Loeb, who committed murder with what seemed like no motive at all. This case was a catalyst for social interpretation as journalists played a major part in the discovery of details of the crime. Often time mixing fact with fiction, this case was talked about well beyond the years after it was laid to rest.

One journalist stated, "The problem of sensationalism resolves itself largely into a question of balance ." One major reason why sensationalism was a huge factor in this case was because there was no outright probable motive for the murder of Bobby Frank. People could not grasp that the boys committed such a heinous crime just to fulfill psychological desires. This was a splinter in the case that affected popular culture, crime, and law. Almost every other culprit in US history had a motive for their crimes, and it confused the public masses and made it difficult to understand the crime because this time there was none. Leopold and Loeb had no reason to kidnap and kill Bobby Frank. They both came from wealthy families and did not need the ransom money they were asking for. They were seen as unlikely killers and this created a problem to the public. If these two boys could kill for no reason at all, could other children do the same thing? The exploitation of the case turned from sensationalism to dangers of modern youth slowly but progressively. The journalist's began to see that the case was losing its popularity and believed they needed to create a reflection of modern life. In the beginning the journalists started exploiting the case like every other case by showing the Frank family–to the public–– in their fragile state as they came to terms with the loss of their son.

  • 31. Theme Of Materialism In A Perfect Day For Bananafish A marriage between a man and a woman is scared. You vow to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. This is the conflict seen in the short story, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" by J.D. Salinger. We are provided with Muriel Glass, the wife that disregards her vows and is more into materialism than the importance of Seymour Glass, her husband and his emotional well being upon returning from World War II. In this story materialism as I am using it, is the meaning of being so consumed in physical appearance or the acquisition of wealth, accompanied with the appetite of material possessions, rather than with spiritual values. We see the illustration of how the personality of being materialist versus on one that relies on emotional wellbeing clash and collide. Obtaining a personality like the one of Muriel generates a blindness to what truly is important in life, especially in a successful marriage. Focusing on the Muriel Glass as the main issue, we see a numerous amount of evidence as to why she is so self centered. Most important so incredibly into being materialist that she totally ignores signs that her husband needs her emotional support through this tough time. The first signs we see to prove that Muriel is into physical appearance is on page three where J.D. Salinger writes, "She washed her comb and brush. She took the spot out of the skirt of her beige suit. She moved the button on her Saks blouse. She tweezed out two freshly surfaced hairs in her mole." With that we get the knowledge of someone who is definitely vain. We now know that Muriel uses up her time to look impressive and make sure she is clean–cut. Another critical sign that she is very object orientated is on page eleven during, the telephone conversation with her mother in which she states, "You remember that awful dinner dress we saw in Bonwit's window? ... She had it on. And all hips." (Salinger) The indication from this is that she judges others based on what they are wearing. Concluding, that she is into clothing and how it is worn, especially how others wear it. We even get the sense that she is into luxurious items because Bonwits was a luxury department store in ...

Dusang English 3 AP 26 April 2015 Protecting the Innocence; An Overview of The Catcher in the Rye During the nineteen fifties, as the population of the United States hurdled in a whirlpool of amiss, a writer sought to conserve innocence as teenagers move into adulthood. The change from their teenage years to adulthood made them question religion, friendships, and fate. J. D. Salinger saw this as a potential pitfall for teens; therefore, he adopts a unique writing style to which they can relate to. Sol and Miriam Salinger's son, Jerome David Salinger, was born on January 1st, 1919 in New York ("Salinger"). Supported by her Jewish husband, a successful meat and cheese importer, Miriam was able to raise Salinger and his two older siblings in the fashionable apartment district of upper Manhattan (French). In 1934 Salinger attended Valley Forge Military academy, where he grasped literature and began writing short stories (French). In spite of later being drafted to be in the military during World War II, Salinger wrote numerous works which inspired the lives of countless Americans. Through his use of point of view, characterization, and symbolism, Salinger aims towards conserving teenagers' innocence as they move into adulthood in The Catcher in the Rye.

It does not, however, confirm the belief in the frequency that appears to drive support of the Trump administration's immigration policy. Although events such as San Bernardino in 2015 provide anecdotal evidence of immigrants committing acts of extreme violence, these events are extremely rare. Nonetheless, tragedies such as these inevitably grab headlines and capture the attention of millions of Americans across the country. Tragedies such as the attack in San Bernardino hold strong emotional appeal to proponents for restrictive immigration policy. However, these rare and uncontrollable events should not provide the base of logic for America's national immigration policy as they are not a proxy for immigrant behavior as a whole. Various statistics regarding crime among immigrants may reveal an underlying reason for lower crime rates, which is that the majority of immigrants understand the implications of committing a crime and know that it would not be in their best interest as a new member of the country they wish to call home. Natives, moreover, have crime rates five times that of immigrants. This demonstrates the potential positive externalities that immigrants contribute to the social sphere by lowering the crime rate and acting as models within urban America.

From the pilgrims who came searching for religious liberation to African slaves that had lost their liberty, America's history has been shaped by the influx of immigrants from different parts of the world. As America grew, it became, and still is, a promised land for many. As a result, immigration has become a pivotal topic in the American culture and with time, the dynamics of immigration has changed due to a shifting of focus between different immigrant groups. From the Chinese exclusion act in 1882 to the Immigration Act of 1924, which restricted Eastern European immigrants' access to the USA, different groups of people have been the principal focus of immigration reform (HISTORY Corporation, 2009). Since the early–20th century to present, the main group of focus with immigration reform has been Hispanics, mainly Mexicans. From deportation to discrimination, many Mexicans have struggled in the hands of immigration laws. This pain is evident in the cultural marks Mexicans have left in American Culture. A prime example of such mark is within the Chicano movement. Beginning in the 1960s, the Chicano movement aimed to address the social injustices that the Mexican population faced in America.
