Perception  of  life 

in  America

I think the importance to see that we are reflected in every aspect of the life of our society, especially in good standing and in the sphere of power can be illustrated by the story of Kamala Harris. For her to be chosen  as a Black and South Asian American woman on the Democratic ticket sends a message to young girls of color that she often projected when she was running her own presidential campaign: "I see you, I hear you. "All across the nation, little girls woke up, especially little Black and brown girls, who so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities, but today they're seeing themselves for the first time in a new way. "It just feels like Black girls like me can run for class president, Black girls like me can go for the big things in life like she did," said a 14-year-old Paris Bond on CNN in an interview on Tuesday.

 

 

Social isolation can impact our many foreign students, especially those who from, Asia and Africa.  They usually struggle with the challenge associated with stereotypes and discrimination. Many us as a student from those part of the world feels marginalized or like we do not belong because of the way we can be perceived sometimes.  find ways to feel more socially connected and part of a group. As a black student, I have experienced bullying and racial slurs at school or at work ... and sometimes it makes me feel like I don’t want to live in the United States because I feel marginalized and uncertain about whom to trust. I think school administrators should elaborate on more strategies to help students coming from other countries feel protected and appreciated. And at an individual level others, students should feel compelled to mingle with students from a different cultural background.

 

I do agree with Imahori on his decision to change his name, in the sense that legally changing your name does offer quite a few potential benefits. First of all, it can give you a fresh start. Whether you want to put a difficult past behind you, escape the attentions of a stalker, or start fresh during a new phase in your life, a legal name change can be very empowering.

 

 

I strongly believe that people with European American cultural backgrounds are privileged. Because If someone has never had to worry that the color of his or her skin might work against him during a job interview or when he will be trying to find a place to live, then he or she is privileged. If  you ever have to feel afraid to put your arm around or kiss your romantic partner in public because people might assault the two of you if they saw, or if you never had to deal with unwanted sexual advances, comments, or ogling, then you probably enjoy the cultural privileges of some type, due to your white skin color.

 

 

 

Recent researches suggest that today, more than 40 million people living in the U.S. were born in another country. The United States has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Those who wish to do so may apply after meeting certain qualifying conditions. In 2018, the top country of origin for new immigrants coming into the U.S. Mexico is the top origin country of the U.S. immigrant population. In 2018, roughly 11.2 million immigrants living in the U.S. were from there, accounting for 25% of all U.S. immigrants. The next largest origin groups were those from China (6%), India (6%), the Philippines (4%), and El Salvador (3%). In 2020, Immigration has become far more central in public conversation in the United States. The wrong implication by politics and mass media of bad deeds of some immigrants has contributed to creating a state of fear towards immigrants. That fear has influenced historical immigration policy and is echoed in recent immigration laws. First, the nature of migration selection appears to have changed over time. Immigrants from European countries that, though poorer than the US, were not as dissimilar as those from third world countries.  One factor that can explain why some countries are more represented in the U.S through immigration is the quota of the number of immigrants allowed yearly. According to the United Nations, under the Trump administration in 2019, the United States, allow Germany, and Saudi Arabia had the largest number of immigrants of any country, while Tuvalu, Saint Helena, and Tokelau had the lowest.
