This document discusses how immigration to America expressed the ideas of exploration, encounter, and exchange throughout history. It explores the various waves and methods of early immigration, including European settlers, indentured servants, and slaves. Immigration occurred for exploratory reasons like economic opportunity and gold rushes. However, it also led to encounters like the spread of diseases and racism, as well as cultural and political exchanges that changed America over time. While immigration brought economic growth, it also resulted in social issues and unrest. Modern America reflects the diverse impacts of all the various immigrants who have settled there over centuries.

The Immigrant stories: The Chinese immigrants to America
Three waves of migration marked Chinese immigration into the US. They migrated between the periods of 1849-1882, 1882-1965, and 1965 to the present. Each of these waves had its own propelling reason. [What were the specific reasons? You can identify these reasons and later elaborate on them. Maybe break down the various reasons for each of these periods of migration.] Chinese people were poor economically and during their period of migration, they were marked as being desperate to participate in any odd jobs including mining and building railways (Lee 150). The Chinese people migrated into China in steam ships and entered at San Francisco’s harbor which significantly was the first China town to be established in the US. The first immigrants from China were motivated to move to the US to improve their economic status, get exposure and have earned extra money through odd jobs that they would then send to their families in China.
The first wave of migration was that of the 1848 “Golden Mountain” legacy. During this period it was heard that gold had been discovered in the golden mountains of California. Naturally many other people came in to bag the benefits that they could reap (Najia 100). The Chinese people were no exception. The Chinese male immigrants also significantly contributed to the construction of the great western railway. The other prime motivation for their migration between the period of 1882 – 1965 was the civil war and the consequent drought which made sustaining their livelihood in China an almost impossibility. During this period some laws were made to prohibit the migration of Chinese into the US. They included the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which restricted the entry of the Chinese people into the US, and the law required that any offenders of Chinese origin were to be imprisoned or deported back to their country Furthermore American citizenship was denied to those Chinese who were already living in the US. Presently Chinese immigrants come in the form of adoptees. These are orphans [All of them? Give me a statistical breakdown.] that get adopted by American families. It is estimated that the Americans have adopted more than fifty-five thousand children from 1991 and issued six thousand five hundred visas to the new breed of Chinese immigrants.
Challenges faced by the Chinese during their immigration periods
The 1871 Massacre
According to Johnson (585), the 1871 Chinese massacre was the largest attack and massacre in the history of the United States against any group of immigrants. It was the torturing and killing of people of the Chinese descent. Before this incident, there had been an abduction of a Chinese woman. This triggered the Chinese to retaliate and thereby killing a Native American. In a payback attempt, the people at the rail road came together to fight against the Chinese imm ...

Experience
ASIAN AMERICAN MIGRATION EXPERIENCE
Who are Asian Americans?
Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, ethnic Lao, Hmong,
Thai, Samoans, Tongans, & Asian Indian are just a few of the ethnicities that are
considered Asian American. Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Asian Indians, Koreans,
and the Vietnamese constitute nearly 90% of all Asian Americans.
Many would also like to add Hawaltans, Samoans, & Guamamans to the above hst
however they should not be added, as they are Pacific Islanders. Pacific Islanders
make up smaller numbers as compared to the population of Asian Americans in the
United States and therefore will not be discussed.
Each Asian American group is very distinct with its own history, language and
culture. The ancestral tongues of Asian Americans range from Tagalog to
Japanese to Hindu to Korean. They also practice various religions such as: Hinduism,
Buddhism, Jamlsm, Taolsm and Roman Catholicism just to name a few. Any person
of Asian descent, either natwe or foreign born, living in the U.S. is considered
Asian American. But, many of Asian descent still identify strongly with their country
of origin. They may often be more likely to refer to themselves as Japanese or
Chinese American, etc.., rather than just Asÿan American.
Many of Asian descent as well as other immigrants come to the U.S.
seeking relief from thew communistic economic systems and dictatorial leadership. In
many communistic countries the government has control of all the land, labor and
capital (money). They can therefore make it very difficult for the average clbzen
to have any freedom or wealth. In a commumstlc country those in rule could
decide to take 90% of the wealth and dlwde it amongst 2% of the population and
the other 98% of the country could live in extreme poverty. The people who leave
these countries and migrate to the Umted States are often m search of the ...

Increased human activities in the Arctic has led to the diminishment of Arctic sea ice, about 70,000 km2 per year and has raised concerns for the region’s future. Measurements show that the ice has grown thinner, approximately 40% in the last two decades. The region is opened to increased human activities like commercial shipping, Arctic oil and gas exploration, in addition to deposition of soot by the maritime vessels. Black carbon from incomplete combustion is lodging over the ice and is causing graying of ice caps which was once a reflective surface to absorb more of sunlight and warm the water. Increased water temperatures are having grave impacts on the flora and fauna that are dependent on ice. In near future Polar bears are likely to face extinction as their breeding habitat is given to melting ice. Trapped green house gases like methane are released due to the melting areas of permafrost. Some simple maths can give us the glimpse of the complexity faced by the scientists in handling ice-ocean-climate models.

A daydream has to be sweet and hence the term dream. A coffee day dream for a girl combines not only the right coffee but also gives her a lucid daydream on similar sweet elements, making her a princess in a castle waiting to be rescued by a prince. This pretty much forms the thematic background for the animation advertisement ‘Coffee Daydream’. Visual effects set the mood here as the viewer watches a girl having coffee, she sprinkles sugar on the coffee and when the advertisement is over she has completed her coffee and her dream. The use of visual technology adds the elements for the dream which is very subtly weaved into the story plot. Techniques of compositing, particle effects and smoke animation are used here to represent the goodness of the coffee being advertised for.

Title: Millennium Bridge at London - Steel Structure Failure
This is 320 m span aluminum and steel bridge across the river Thames. This bridge has steel structure failure because it had vertical, lateral and torsional stiffness. The problem occurred because of side vibration of the bridge deck because of pedestrian lateral excitation. The main reasons for this failure were lateral stiffness of the deck and low damping potential which happens in steel structure only. This bridge was made of two dimensional cable truss. The stiffness in this bridge structure caused this failure in this bridge. Therefore, this bridge was closed for few days to fix the problem. It is therefore highly relates to steel structure failure and is suitable for the case study as well. This problem was rectified with help of installation of lateral dampers. All these characteristics of this bridge failures relates to steel structure failure.
With time the whole of the world is being influenced by the social media like YouTube (Bennett & Strange, 2011). The impact of YouTube can be seen in some recent TV programs and feature films. Some of the new TV programs and feature films have adopted the key elements of YouTube aesthetics, including the found dotage device and hand – held camera work to influence the viewers of the authenticity of a viewpoint of character or of narrative (Snickars & Vonderau,2009).

Sports, Business, Theatre or Drama; change seldom discriminates. It resonates in each and every walk of life. On the brink of a terrific change is Politics, courtesy the social media. Social media has rapidly grown as a forum for political discourse and activism. Its various platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube etc. are providing a plethora of new ways to engage citizens in politics (Benkler, 2006). A great advantage inherent in social media is the possibility of personal, ie., one to one communication. Politicians as well as political parties are seemingly benefitting with this new found ability to reach out to their potential voters. It has become possible for politicians to reach voters in a well targeted manner without relying on the media as an intermediary (Gentle, 2012). Various reactions, messages, feedbacks and debates are generated online. In addition to this, support for offline causes of a political party are also generated through social media petitions

Modern HRM practices try to recruit employees within the organization. The reasons for internal recruitment are as follows. It is less time consuming in order to hire resources within the company. There is no need for extensive skill assessment process. Employee is well known to the company. There is no need to scout for new candidates. This increases procedural efficiency (Moser, 2005). This process of internal hiring ensures that the employees within the organization sense job security (Chan, 1996). Apart from this it has been observed that new hires joining rate is lesser when compared to internal employees. It takes time for the external candidate to understand the official process of the company. During certain times for some positions there is high employment rate. There is lack of external resources during this time internal sourcing is preferred by the companies (Moser, 2005). This process is saves time. This is found to boost productivity and overall morale of the company

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Introduction
12000 years ago, indigenous people found America and settled in the nation. They were
the original Native American settlers who established their culture and social practices in
America (Donald and Johansen). It was only towards the end of 15th
Century, America
was known to the European settlers. Towards the end of 18th
century, America had an
eclectic mix of different cultures and settlements. Modern America also is considered to
be a nation build from immigrated people and settlers. There has been an interesting
dynamics between encounter, investigation and interchange that had occurred in the
nation due to immigration (Donald and Johansen). These are analyzed in the investigative
analysis done. There has been specific focus about early immigration up till the end of the
third wave of immigration in 1965. Exploration, encounter and exchange during these
times have been analyzed in the following. From this reflective analysis and conclusions
are drawn.
Early Immigration modes and methods
Early settlements were from European settlers, which started from late 15th
onwards.
Initially there were settlements made by the European origin people of France and
Spanish origin people. They had initially established themselves in the nation. British
settlers settled in Jamestown and started colonizing in United States. Settling in America
allowed a new form of economic freedom. Owing to which there was initially a large
influx of people from Europe into the nation (Sowell, 4). There was a growing popularity
to immigrate into America owing to this reason. Some European settlers even came as
indentured servants into America.
4. 4
Indentured servant is a concept where the people from Europe moved to the new world
by the working for a slave owner for a fixed number of years. After the fixed number of
years the individuals were allowed to work on their own. By 1775 there were 500000
people who were brought in to the nation by indentured nations. United States
Out of this 55000 there were involuntary prisoners. Indentured servants were not allowed
to marry or live in freedom (Johnson 142). They had to live under the rules set by the
employers. A large percentage of the indentured servants did not come into the nation
voluntarily. Employee volition was not considered in the notions of indentured servants.
Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 was passed which allowed white servants with
two-year residence and good character to gain United States citizenship (Johnson 142).
This law did not cover other ethnicities.
In 18th
and 19th
Century in America slave trade existed in the nation. Slaves were sold
from different parts of the world esp. Africa into United States. They were indentured
servants who were forced into the country (Holliday, 28). They were to serve the
European origin masters. In 1850 there was rumor and growing popularity to the nation
that Gold existed in California. A number of Chinese settlers settled in the nation owing
to rumors that gold existed in California. These settlers then adjusted to the nation and
chose to work as laborers. Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882 owing to the high
influx of Chinese people in the nation. This was also the first rule in order to curb
immigration into the country ((Holliday, 30). Subsequent to this Ellis Island immigration
was set up by the nation to control the influx of Chinese immigration into the country.
Mass Immigration occurred in the nation from 1892 to 1954 from Ellis Island. 12 million
5. 5
US immigrants were allowed into the nation (Waldinger 1079). Ellis Island documented
the people who wanted to settle in America.
There were the actual events that had happened in the nation. There has been
multicultural influx in the nation owing to which the country has always an eclectic mix
of ethnicities and heritage.
Reasons for immigration: exploratory reasons
One of the primary reasons for immigration into the nation was economic growth and
prosperity in the nation. The European settlers considered this new land to be a source of
productivity and industrialization. It was enigmas were the possibilities were
interminable. This was one of the major reasons for embarking into the nation. In the
middle half of the 19th
century there was famine in Ireland and in Germany. The crops
failed consecutively in the nation (Sowell, 10). Owing to which many settlers wished to
travel to a new destination that had a lot of potential for growth and prosperity. Gold rush
was another reason for Chinese settlers to enter into the nation. California Gold rush was
the reason many people voluntarily entered America. Latin American descendants also
entered into the nation for the Gold in California. Latino Immigrants also from the crux
of American Immigration history (Sowell, 21). There is an intricate twisted history
between Latin American origin people and United States. Mexican Americans become
laborers in the Northwest Pacific region. They were primarily employed in the
agricultural sectors. The influx of Mexican American descendants reduced during Great
depression and increased subsequent to World War II (Sowell, 43). Apart from this
African origin people were forced into the nation.
6. 6
From analysis it is found that the people from other lands ventured into America for
economic prosperity. Majority of the people came into the nation in volition for their
economic needs and potential of productivity in the nation. However there were
indentured servants and slaves that were brought into the nation forcibly by the European
settlers for their economic needs and to ensure productivity. Consequent to these actions
America consisted of people from many origins, races and ethnicity in the nation.
Encounters and exchange due to Immigration
Affirmative encounters that transpired owing to these large incursions of immigrants was
the overall growth in productivity. This principal caused rapid industrialization in the
country. The setting up of the trans continental railways lead to further growth and
development of business in the nation (Waldinger 1081). Economy developed in the nation
because of the immigrant population.
Indigenous cultural practices followed by the natives was replaced by the European
culture owing to some of the anarchist practices of certain European settlers. Due to these
factors religious practices in the society was largely Christian. There was a large number
of Protestants in the nation when compared to the catholic population.
Racism is one the undesirable exchange and encounters that had taken place in America
owing to immigration of European settlers. There was general European White
superiority found in America. This has however changed in the recent times.
Nevertheless the issue of racism prevailed through many centuries in America.
California Gold rush brought a lot of immigrants into the country. Some immigrant
population such as Chinese people was willing to work for lesser remuneration. They
7. 7
helped in the industrial productivity and played a major role in the construction of
transcontinental railways.
Some of the major diseases that had newly spread into the country owing to immigration
were Yellow fever, Typhus and Small Pox. European settlers in the New Nation i.e. in
America brought in diseases like diphtheria, influenza, measles, mumps, scarlet fever etc.
Cholera was concentrated in the Asian countries however spread into United States.
There was a rise in epidemic diseases that caused large-scale mortality and ramifications
to the society. People started to worry about the contagious diseases and this lead to a lot
of feelings of unrest by the people. In (Sowell, 267) some situations like in 1892 New
York proposed a quarantine plan for immigrants in order to contain the diseases. In 1983
Rayner-Harris National Quarantine Act was passed in order to make the immigrants take
medical tests prior to becoming American Residents (Sowell, 290).
Political unrest in nation had occurred in different points in History owing to the impacts
of the immigrant population. Initial European settlers took over the nation from Natives.
This had caused some initial issues in the nation. Political unrest in the nation occurred
when a number of Chinese settlers took the jobs of the European settlers. Anti Coolie Act
Was passed in California and Chinese Exclusion act was signed in 1882 in order to
discourage Chinese settlers from settling in the nation (Holliday, 32). Issues of slavery
and racism have also befallen in the nation owing to Supremacist tendencies by the white
European settlers. Civil war in the nation was essentially to give freedom to the African
origin people in the country. There were also issues with Mexico and its settlers. Gold
rush was one of the reasons for the American Mexico War in 1914 (Holliday, 54).
Immigration Act of 1917 required the people to have basic reading and writing skills to
8. 8
enter into the nation. There was a lot of anti immigration rhetoric in the nation during
these times this was primarily because of unemployment existing in the nation.
Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was passed following the recommendations of Dillingham
Commission in order to curb immigration into the nation ( Waldinger, 1083). Subsequent
to passing a number of legislations and reforms to curb immigration into the country
there has been a rise in Illegal Immigrants into the nation. These illegal immigrants come
into the nations not through proper path. Instead they circumvent the law and enter into
the nation illegally. This issue of illegal immigrants has been a problem for America ever
since.
Reflective analysis
From analysis it is quite clear that there is a strong preference for people to settle in
America right from the Europeans discovering the New Nation in 1492. There has been
promise of growth, economic prosperity in the nation. Due to which many races of people
and settlers had entered the nation. Economic promise is the reason for people to venture
into the nation. Apart from this the promise of gold had brought in a large influx of
Chinese and Latino immigrants into the nation. Another large group of immigrants were
forcibly made to enter the nation as indentured servants and slaves. This group of people
did not have any civil rights and liberties up until the civil war. America was a different
country for these slaves (Sowell). They did not have any rights or official forums to vent
their frustrations. The dynamics of immigration are found to vary between the different
social
9. 9
Another pattern that is observed in the nation is that for any economic or political issues
the immigrants bear the brunt of the blame.
Economic productivity and development of infrastructure such as transcontinental
railways has brought the nation immense progress and economical development.
Immigrants put in lot of efforts either by volition or slavery into building this
infrastructure for the nation (Sowell).
There were a number of issues that the country had faced due to immigration; Due to
immigration there was a large-scale spread of epidemics in the nations. This was one of
the major impacts on the social constructs of the society.
The dominant race had influenced the religious practices in the American societies.
Culturally it is found that many motifs and themes of the European settlers culture was
reflected in the American societies. This has however changed in the last hundred years.
Modern day America is a reflection of the immigration practices of the nation. Growth
and the issues of the nations are due to immigrants who have settled in the nation. It has
become a eclectic heterogeneous tolerant society due to immigration policies.
Conclusion
Settlers entered into America from many modes. Some were in volition others were not.
Due to Immigration the country has developed and also faced a number of issues.
American immigration policy has found to change over the centuries based on the
tenacious events that the country had faced. There have been numerous positive
exchanges and encounters from immigrants. From this modern day America faces a
number of issues and positive growth. To conclude the nation is a reflection of the
10. 10
settlers who have found base in the nation. Most importantly it has emerged as a very
tolerant country by comparative analysis of the world countries.
