From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the immigration policy of the United States prior to and during the Second World War with regard to Jewish persons living in Europe. The thesis of this paper is that the U.S. government refused to liberalize immigration laws in response to the Nazi policies in Europe because of a combination of traditional anti-semitism, economic fears stemming from the Depression, and government responses to public opinion, both actual and perceived. The first part of the paper will provide a brief background to U.S. immigration policy during the Twentieth Century and show how this policy remained the same throughout the Second World War.

Abstract
This essay discusses some major issues that drive debates around new and existing immigration policies in the United States. The paper also presents aspects of the present immigration policies that may need reform. Because immigration is a function of the push-pull philosophy, the U.S. nation often pulls from nations of those attempting to escape the ravages of war and even war with its country. These are the basics of what create sound immigration policies. The paper argues that the U.S.'s underlying immigration policies are thus influenced by whoever is being pulled or pushed, as well as inherent racist fears against whichever group our nation is creating. The paper further argues that U.S should not be building immigration policies on real or perceived fears.
From the Paper
"Bringing us into the twentieth century, immigration brings to mind a vision of historic Ellis Island and its many pre and post World War mass indoctrinations of new Americans. That vision does not seem to be a reality anymore. Our nation's immigration policies are far too often fueled by fears and racism. For example, many immigration and naturalization policies in the early 1900's were obvious attempts to restrict the civil rights of new immigrants and certain social or ethnic groups - Germans, for instance, had obvious difficulties immediately during and after World War I with restrictive laws such as the 1917 espionage Act, the 1918 Sedition Act, and a draft of the Civil Service Act."

Irish-American Immigration, 2004.
This paper discusses the Irish immigration to America, which was associated with the genocide in the Potato Famine of the 1840s and the policies of the British that caused the death of nine million Irish.

Abstract
This paper specifically explains the immigration of the Irish to Connecticut and New England. Much of the information was developed by the Works Progress Administration, a Depression-era organization that initiated projects to keep writers employed. The author points out that, before the American Revolution, there was Irish immigration, but much of it was in the form of indentured servants who were regarded as only marginally more worthy than slaves. The paper states that the ?massing of the green? aroused the New Englanders' fear of Catholicism because many Yankees thought only Protestantism was compatible with democracy and that the ?Papists? would want a theocracy or religion-friendly monarchy.

From the Paper
"The Irish had come, whether the early indentured servants who had little choice, the second wave of the 1820s, or the third wave of the 1840s, in search of jobs. By 1870, they dominated the labor pool in the textile mills and such trades as bookmaking. The fact that they had come penniless and in search of jobs meant that, unlike settlers who had come with some money (some of the early Scandinavians and Germans, for example), they needed to settle in urban areas to perform those jobs. By 1860, about 21 percent of Hartford?s? population was Irish. By 1870, there was a similar contingent in New Haven."

Immigration Laws, 2007.
This paper explores whether state and local authorities in the US are responsible for enforcing federal immigration laws.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how immigration has become a highly contentious issue in American politics, due to the fear of terrorism and worry for the nation's economy. The paper discusses how pressure for enforcement has created a domestic constitutional issue that raises the issue of who is responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
From the Paper
"Immigration has become a highly contentious issue in American politics, probably the second most contentious behind abortion in terms of domestic policy. Protection of the borders has become more important to many people since the 9-11 attacks, based on the view that terrorists could cross the borders and wreak havoc. The terrorists involved in the 9-11 attacks entered the country legally and then failed to go home as they were supposed to do, but none simply crossed the borders illegally. Still, the perception grew quickly that protecting the borders was necessary to protect us from terrorism."

Immigration vs. Integration, 2004.
An analysis of the American attitude toward immigrants.
1,375 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 45.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the American immigration contradiction, in light of both intersectionality and essentialism, through the use of three related terms: xenophobia, assimilation, and ethnocentrism. The paper describes xenophobia as the fear and hatred of immigrants and compares it to ethnocentrism, which is explained as one group of people believing that they are superior to other groups. Assimilation is described as the process by which immigrant groups are absorbed into the larger culture of the United States despite these evident contradictions and obstacles to add to the culture at large.
From the Paper
"The United States has always been considered to be a country where certain freedoms from discrimination and persecution are offered to a constantly-changing immigrant community which, as it is assimilated into the larger culture, changes this culture at the same time, creating a cycle of both intersectionality and diversity. At the same time, however, immigration policy can be seen to be contradictory because this consideration is countered by the dual anti-essentialist consideration that often treats immigrants as a threat to what are perceived as American values, and thus is often responsible for creating discriminatory policy. This treatment is frequently based on anti-essentialism as it is propounded in the mass media and asks that the immigrant role-play to meet stereotyped predetermined intuitions."

Immigrant Integration in France, 2007.
This paper explores the racial divide in France between North African Muslims and French mainstream society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the problem facing North African Muslim immigrants in France is one of both social stigma and economic disability. The paper describes how an unsympathetic government combined with the plight of misinformed French citizenry has caused a near breaking point between the relationships of immigrants and the mainstream populace. The paper shows how the current terrorism and fear of Islamic fundamentalism has had a profound effect on efforts at immigration integration. The paper asserts that France must take further steps to promote greater economic and political incentives for immigrant integration, or else they will face worse problems than rioting within their national borders.
From the Paper
"North African Muslims is the largest sector of immigrants within France, the majority of them came during the migration of World War I from such countries as Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. According to statistics, almost 25% of the total population of inner Paris are immigrants and 14% of the metropolitan area in general. There are over three million North African Muslims living in France according to recent demographic studies. The composition of North African immigrants is contrary to traditional models and the problems they face are unconventional as well."

Abstract
This paper explains that during difficult periods in American history, there has been more discrimination against immigrants, especially in the area of labor. This is due, in part, to a fear that the immigrants will be taking jobs away from the natural born citizens. This study argues that a number of studies and research, shows, however, that this is not the case. Includes 3 page outline.
From the Paper
"A poll conducted in October 2004 by the Center for Governmental Services at Auburn University showed that more than half of individuals from Alabama surveyed believe immigrant workers are taking jobs away from Americans and do not bring needed skills to the state. The random telephone poll of 1,012 residents of Alabama of voting age found that 34 percent of those surveyed "strongly agree" and 23 percent "somewhat agree" that immigrants are taking this employment. The poll did not make a distinction between illegal and legal immigrants and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The other question, whether immigrants bring required skills to the state, 34 percent "strongly disagree" and 21 percent "somewhat disagree." Although 10 percent of those called stated they have seen immigrants making constructive contributions to the area, 42 percent accuse them for community-wide concerns, such as petty crime, housing violations and littering. In addition, 56 percent of those surveyed feel that Alabama should not give immigrants social welfare assistance."

Abstract
Our world is dominated by fears of death - all fears ultimately end in the fear of death. Icarus could fly, Caine became invisible. "Hollow Man" is just that - a man in pursuit of that which will ultimately rob him of his soul, Caine is indeed hollow. The adventure story is by far the easiest medium to express the black and white nature of this confrontation of social fears. We are not allowed to challenge God / Nature / Society. "Hollow Man" delivers all of this in one simple film.

?When I Have Fears?, 2004.
A review and analysis of the sonnet "When I Have Fears" by John Keats.
944 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how Keats uses poetic devices such as fixed stanza form, imagery, diction, tone and metaphor Keats to express the roller coaster of human emotions in dealing with death. The paper also discusses Keats' use of agricultural metaphors, to describe the fear of death.
From the Paper
"In his sonnet "When I Have Fears" John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death. The quatrain, or four-line stanza, describes the natural order of emotions he went through while thinking of his own mortality. The tone of the sonnet takes a "roller coaster" course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion, the second to express a calm and bittersweet feeling, the third to describe a feeling of immense fear, and the final couplet to express a feeling of acceptance."

Tocqueville's Fears for America, 2004.
A political analysis of Alexis De Tocqueville's "Democracy in America"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Alexis de Tocqueville was surprised by and feared the shortage of guarantees against tyranny in the United States, which he discussed in his work, "Democracy in America". He feared that tyranny could be brought about by centralization of administration coupled with an atomizing individualism. He also had misgivings about the possibility of the emergence of a 'tyranny of the majority' in the United States. This paper examines those fears from Tocqueville's perspective and determines whether or not those fears have been realized in the time since "Democracy in America" was written.
From the Paper
"Tocqueville realizes that tendency toward centralization of administration is natural for bureaucratic institutions striving for efficiency, but such tendency builds a love of the status quo in administrators that can put a halt to progress, and ignore important societal problems with which the bureaucracy was not designed to deal. "Centralization easily imposes an aspect of regularity on day-to-day business... and keeps society in that state of administrative somnolence which administrators are in the habit of calling good order and public tranquility... it excels at preventing, not doing." He explains also that as a centralization of administration increases the power and reach of government increases while citizens grow lethargic, "it is accustomed to command and they to obey," and that as the trend continues, "that tendency is intensified, the capacity of [the government] and the incapacity of [the people] becoming striking.""

From the Paper
"Visualize a world without cars, a world without telephones, and a world without television. Without these technologies we, as a society, would be almost paralyzed. We would have difficulty to move, difficulty to communicate, and difficulty to get information. It is thus apparent how fundamental technology is to the survival of our civilization. Technology is an integral part of our society. It is in the movies we watch. It is in the food we eat. It is all over the world that we live in. It encompasses everything that forms our lives. Technology is important because of the basic fact that it brings about tremendous benefits to mankind. Thus, with all these conveniences and advantages that technology brings to us it is difficult to imagine a world without it."

Victorian Philosophical Anti-Rationalism, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the writings and critiques of anti-utilitarian and anti-practical philosophers Arnold, Newman, and Pater. The paper explains, compares, and analyzes each philosopher's arguments against the pragmatism and utilitarianism of the Victorian age and explains why Matthew Arnold's critique of utilitarianism was the most scathing of all.
From the Paper
"The Victorian era in England gave birth to Jeremy Bentham?s utilitarian philosophy of social governance, to the scientific philosophy of Darwinism, and to the application of scientific principles to social philosophy in the form of Social Darwinism. Perhaps this scientific and methodical era, an era that oversaw the full flowering of the Industrial Revolution?s stress upon machinery into the transformation into the human body and mind as a machine-like worker drone, inevitably spawned a kind of counter-revolutionary philosophy and ethos for the age?namely the idea and ideals that cohered and evolved over the course of the Oxford Movement, the Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic movement, and finally coalesced into the austere vision of the poet and philosopher Matthew Arnold."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the evolution of punk and its mutation into the more politically charged anarcho-punk movement and explores the violent side of the extreme left - both as an international force and in particular in Switzerland. The paper then discusses the Bern-based Antifa Switzerland group and explores the motivations of the Black Bloc anarchists. The paper highlights the use of violence in the anti-fascist movement and the connection between today's violent anarcho-punks with the ideals of the original punk movement. Several photographs are included with the paper.
Outline:
Introduction
Punk's First Wave
Punk Arrives in Switzerland
Switzerland, Anarcho-Punk, and Post-war Politics in the 21st Century
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The media, however, interpreted the punks' image, music, and reckless behavior as a real threat to the status quo. This culminated in December of 1976 when the Sex Pistols and members of the Bromley Contingent appeared on the Bill Grundy television show in England. At the time of this momentous event, punk was still in its early stages. The public-at-large had little way of knowing about punk at the time. What they saw was a group of extravagantly dressed young people, visibly intoxicated, who took relish in using offensive words and insulting the host of the program in a manner that went way beyond the accepted morals of the time. The Bill Grundy episode would spiral the fledgling youth subculture into the wider cultural spotlight. At that point, punk was no longer a tiny subculture, but a mass media spectacle that would shock the conservative British public and inspire similar-minded youth all over the world."
