Practices Shaping U.S. Schools
ABSTRACT : The United States is considered a nation built by immigrants. This has had multiple influences on its cultural and linguistic shaping. Various groups and communities have contributed their languages, cultures, and beliefs. Societal norms, legislations, educational systems and reforms have been enacted that ultimately shaped the current educational system. Historically, this process has not always been fair to minority groups, resulting in prejudistic views and legislation against certain groups. The historical view presented in this article examines cultural and linguistic diversity in the U.S., common perceptions of immigrants, history of assessments and policies affecting culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations, legislation affecting CLD populations, and how they influenced the educational system.
English is Important!
English is the language of tourism, science, entertainment, the Internet and technology as well as business. As a result, English is important for those who want to explore all the world has to offer.
Thesis Abstract and Background
This study explores how English-dominated media and information communication technologies (ICTs) impact cultural and linguistic vitality and variation among speakers of national languages. The rise of English as a global lingua franca can be attributed to British imperialism, American economic and cultural dominance post-World War 2, and the influence of American media companies. English now fuels the spread of globalization but also endangers other languages, with thousands estimated to disappear this century. The purpose of this study is to better understand how English media and ICTs shape cultural identities and influence language maintenance or loss among national language communities. The findings could help adopt policies to encourage multilingualism and preserve languages and cultures in the face of English dominance.
The Case for Teaching Mandarin Chinese in HISD
The document makes the case for teaching Mandarin Chinese in the Houston Independent School District. It summarizes research showing that starting world language education early (K-5) is common practice in most industrialized countries. Only a small number of US states require world language education, and even fewer require it at the elementary level. Studies also show that learning a second language improves academic performance in other subjects and helps close achievement gaps. Furthermore, foreign language ability is important for national interests like security, economic competitiveness, and an informed citizenry. As China is projected to be a major future trade partner, learning Mandarin could position Houston students and the city well economically.

Race and Ethnicity
The Power of Society
Is our choice to cast a vote for a particular candidate a purely “personal” decision?
In the 2016 presidential election, 58 percent of non-Hispanic white people voted for Donald Trump.
If only white people had voted, the election would have been a Republican landslide.
But Hillary Clinton received overwhelming support from Asian Americans (65 percent), Hispanic Americans (66 percent), and especially African Americans (88 percent).
If only these categories of the population had voted, the election would have been a Democratic landslide of historic proportion.
The political choices people make when they vote in elections are not simply personal preferences, but they also reflect race, ethnicity, and other societal factors.

15.1 Explain the social construction of race and ethnicity.
Race
Socially constructed category of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important
Meanings and importance of race vary across time and place.
No society contains biologically “pure” people.
There is more genetic variation within each racial category than between categories.

Figure 15–1 The Coming Minority Majority
According to projections from the Census Bureau, the United States will have a minority majority in the year 2044, less than thirty years from now.
By that time, as the figure shows, the white, non-Hispanic population will actually decline, as the number of Asian Americans, African Americans, and especially Hispanic Americans increases.
What changes do you expect this trend will bring to the United States?

Socially constructed category of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important
Meanings and importance of race vary across time and place.
No society contains biologically “pure” people.
There is more genetic variation within each racial category than between categories.

Figure 15–1 The Coming Minority Majority
According to projections from the Census Bureau, the United States will have a minority majority in the year 2044, less than thirty years from now.
By that time, as the figure shows, the white, non-Hispanic population will actually decline, as the number of Asian Americans, African Americans, and especially Hispanic Americans increases.
What changes do you expect this trend will bring to the United States?

National Map 15–1 Where the Minority Majority Already Exists
Racial and ethnic minorities are now a majority of the population in four states—Hawaii, California, New Mexico, and Texas—as well as in the District of Columbia.
At the other extreme, Vermont and Maine have the smallest share (about 6 percent) of minorities. Why do you think states with high minority populations are located in the South and Southwest?

Figure 15–2 Bogardus Social Distance Research
The social distance scale is a good way to measure prejudice.
Part (a) illustrates the complete social distance scale, from least social distance at the far left to greatest social distance at the far right.
Part (c) presents the overall mean score in specific years (the average of the scores received by all racial and ethnic categories).
These scores have fallen from 2.14 in 1925 to 1.44 in 2001, showing that students express less social distance toward minorities today than they did in the past.
Part (d) shows the range of averages, the difference between the highest and lowest scores in given years (in 2011, for instance, it was 1.08, the difference between.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.University of North Carolina at Charlotte degree offer diploma Transcript

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdf
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.快速制作美国迈阿密大学牛津分校毕业证文凭证书英文原版一模一样
