The study doesn’t show how having a fixated outcome helped which in my opinion is also beneficial because it would make you more efficient at executing the task youre told to do since you’ve been doing it and knowing the outcome. Since you’ve been doing that you’re able to execute the movement more efficiently and commit the task to muscle memory.

It’s hard to find a study that is completely related to my topic because comfort zone has a more assumed position in the human psyche.

In the year 2002, 435 women were tested for mercury poisoning from using skin whitening cosmetics in Hong Kong, and from the group, a 31-year-old woman was hospitalized. Along with mercury, whitening products have been discovered to contain lead, acidic chemicals, and steroids which can all permanently damage the skin.

With western countries dominating the Global Beauty Market, their standards of beauty became ideal around the world. United States’ beauty pageants, movies, and television shows became globalized and the cast mostly consisted of white actors and actresses. This heavily influenced Asian and South Asian countries that have a history of being overpowered by the White population. European colonialism suppressed Asian countries for centuries and sabotaged them to believe the white race was the superior race. White skin represented the elites whereas tanned and dark skin represented the working class. Although colonialism ended, the impression of white superiority is alive and well to this day.

Historically, beauty products were only made available for the higher class who had the income to afford the luxurious items. This all changed in the nineteenth century after the industrial revolution made it possible to manufacture the desired beauty products in larger volumes, often made with cheaper material, to make them affordable for the general public.

n emotionally manipulating its audience

While these stereotypes of an ideal woman still hold true, globalization is homogenizing beauty standards across cultures through modes of media and communication.

Anything below permanent residence is even harder to compare, as visa statuses have many restrictions and in the past decade had gotten more restricting laws and limitations of how people can come here, whether that is through work or higher education studies. The study simply acknowledges the obvious statements such as that most naturalized citizens — “…nearly half of America’s roughly 40 million immigrants — arrived by choice, found employer sponsors, navigated visas and green cards and situations, where immigrants who never reach citizenship, and generally have harder lives than American citizens, native- or foreign-born, are not considered.” as the article would state.

I will not actually be carrying out this experiment. This experiment that I created actually seems really interesting, and I would love to carry it out. However, I just don’t have time to conduct it because I am currently taking courses as well as working on my own research project in the field of Statistics.

I will approach random people of varying ages and ethnicity and ask them if it would be ok if I interviewed them. I would proceed to interview them by first asking them about themselves, then asking them simply what they identify as, then asking them what factors in their life they feel may have impacted their answer. I would keep a count of the number of people who link their identity with each factor based on a combination of both of their responses. I would graph my findings so I could compare the size of the counts of each factor Obviously, the factor that has the highest count is the factor that most people link their identity too Either accept or reject hypothesis based on results.

By the way, a quick note on the survey…I just found out they only did this survey with white couples. I have no idea why and even after I looked into it, the only explanation that seems to make any sense is that white couples (or just couples of the same race) are more likely to have similar genome types, meaning that they did this survey knowing that they would get the answers they wanted? Or…since it is Colorado, a predominantly white state, it just worked out that way? That doesn’t seem to make sense, but I did look up other explanation on these studies, and only one of them seemed to question why they only used white couples (this source also mentioned that the couples were all born between the 1930s and 1950s, but that could just be because they wanted relationships they knew were long lasting and overall happy). So…though I do not have an answer, this is definitely something to ponder, and even if this study turns out to be disputed (which it hasn’t yet in 5 years, but rather critically acclaimed), I still stand by my points on family and sports because common similarities that are rooted in our DNA bring us closer together, and only make it that much harder to lose them when they do have to ultimately leave.

Figure 8 relates to my writing project as it depicts resident card rejection that is petitioned by family. It is titled under the category that my aunt was denied “Denial Rate for I-485 Family-Based Adjustments to Permanent Residence”[4]which displays that the denial rate by family petitions from 2016 to 2018 increased from 10.2% to 13%.

8.3% to 11.3%. The particularity of these statistics is that it does not include Naturalization application and DACA’s because according to Trump these forms grants legality to undocumented immigrants. But, it incorporates ‘legal’ immigration applications. If it were to include the denial rate from undocumented immigrants trying to change their immigration status the statistics would be higher than 11.3% in 2015 because illegal immigrants have the highest denial rate

Now he comes and tells me he was wrong about that and I am the reason for that. He says it’s because of how I treated him back then that made him realize his error in think people were terrible.

They used the song, “Tomboy”, and this was the first time I had ever heard it, aside from having the lyrics described to me. The bass of the beat was booming and the lyrics were so raunchy that it intrigued me and made me think about myself. She appeals to a certain feminist quality, the idea that women can and should do whatever they please. The beat that she uses is one that incites rage in me, makes me want to jump up and down, head bob, and join a mosh pit. The song is the embodiment of what society doesn’t want women to be, yet her rage inspired change when an up-and-coming company decided to go with such a progressive advertisement.

The ad was for “Billie” razors with their Project Body Hair campaign. This was the first advertisement for a razor that I had seen actual body hair in, not just already shaven women. It just makes no sense to show off the abilities of a razor on legs with no visible hair on them.

I’m so stressed with two jobs and trying to pay off all my credit card deb

All my days feel the same. An endless cycle of the same shit. Work and then home. At work everything gets piled onto me and yet I’m being paid less than Nancy who doesn’t do half of what I do. It’s ridiculous. I come home and unwind, some days it’s a nap other days it’s a shower. Before I even open the door to the house I think to myself “Buddy better not have ripped anything and Machito better not have peed in the house again.” It’s like no one else in this house can pick up after them.  Around 5 o’clock I’ll cook dinner for my family. I wonder what day my sister is coming over. She never lets anyone know her plan, what if I’m not home. I told the girls to clean up so when she does come by she won’t see such clutter. I also have to remember to ask my sister if she can take some stuff back to the Dominican Republic when she goes back, I don’t know how I’m gonna time this perfectly so that the stovetop gets there in time before the contractors finish up the kitchen in the new house. I also have to make sure I fly out there and finish up all the paperwork for the new place. I’m so stressed. To top it off I have to deal with the car insurance company because my stupid husband let go of the breaks at a red light. He was probably looking at his phone. How am I paying for two cars, two insurance plans and I’m not even the one using them! He should pay for it himself. He doesn’t pay anything around here, more for me to stress about. And now that he has a second job I think we’ll have to pay for our daughters tuitions and by we I mean me. Every time someone has an issue they pass it on to me. I’m not the one who got into two car accidents yet I’m the one stressed. He barely even leaves here yet I’m dealing with all his bull. My youngest daughter apparently can’t do anything for herself and wants me to talk to customer service for her for some hoodie that didn’t fit her. Like c’mon you’re almost 19. Then I have a 20 year old who all of a sudden feels the need to leave to hangout at 1 in the morning. Now I have to stay up and wait for her to get home. I have to get up for work in a couple of hours.

did notice that from a young age that she was different. Dionna always preferred to play with animals than talk to people, but I figured it was because she just loved them. All her life, I have seen Dionna as a vibrant and happy little girl with a love for learning. I even stayed home from work for her first four years of life so I could teach her. Her thirst for knowledge was often greater than what school could give her. She liked to sit at the table and do work, but adored when we would go outside for hands-on learning. Maybe that was my mistake, letting her choose her own path. It may have hurt her in the long run. I knew about her being ostracized by her classmates in kindergarten and the bullying in elementary school. I honestly thought that the situation would mend itself or that eventually the kids would grow up and see the Dionna I knew. She got teased and tormented often while being called a nerd or a geek, but I saw her as a girl who just had so many questions about the world that she often blurted animal facts or created random math problems. To this day, she almost always has her nose covered in a book. However, I never noticed that as she got older, she got quieter.  In school, she often knew a lot of information about her classmates and spoke a lot about them, yet she never mentioned being invited to outings and parties. She had never created a close friendship. I often got along with the other mothers in school and when they happily invited her to their children’s events she would tense up. Going to parties, she would cling by my side and only drift away to play with the family pet or get food. To me, Dionna was always fun and outgoing, but now looking back I am not so sure anymore. When she entered her teenage years, she became homeschooled and I thought it was because she wanted to excel in school. It turns out that she just never connected to others. She saw staying at home and doing her work as a relief instead of being with her peers. They had bullied and excluded her from so many activities and never bothered to understand her that she decided to leave. I had been pushing those thoughts to the back of my head and it’s heartrending to discover that my worst nightmares are true. I would have never thought that this would have happened to her. Luckily, once she went to college things changed immensely for the better. I still didn’t know about her problems with socializing until recently, but I do remember she would talk more enthusiastically about school and her smiles seemed to be genuine. She would talk about having lunch with friends, talking about their majors, helping each other with assignments, and their inside jokes. Dionna really came out of her shell and blossomed with these new friends.  She even started to spend time with friends outside of school. All her life, I had seen her only develop close relationships with animals and enjoy time with her pets. Now she has really come into her own person. She has a sense of balance. Yes, animals will always be her favorite because she feels as if they never judge and looked through her instead of at her, but she no longer uses them as a crutch to avoid people.  She now has friends that really appreciate her and understand her unique style. Dionna no longer has to hide her true personality and feels completely comfortable in her skin. I recently discovered that she used to not participate in class due to feeling too shy to talk, but that is no longer the case.  I recently read her autoethnography because I usually read her schoolwork, especially her interesting assignments. That is how I discovered her socialization problems. It is unfortunate in this world that children often judge too quickly. Even though she is my daughter, as her mother I hope that she continues to find wonderful people in the world that make her feel as special as I think she is. She deserves to meet kind, loving, and respectful people and I wish her all the best.

d. My one job throughout her life was to make her feel loved and safe. It breaks my heart to know that she does not feel connected to the world.

I knew these holes existed through the endless conversations we shared during our free time

As I watched her, I thought about how she came to live this way. After raising her son on her own for the first five years, her husband brought them to the U.S. to live with him. He immediately made her apply for a job at a fast food chain to help pay for their living expenses. As an educated woman, she did not see herself working as a cashier for the rest of her life, hence she decided to get a college degree in the U.S. While she was working a full-time job, attending college and raising her child, her husband decided to quit his job. He justified his decision by telling her that he has done enough for them and no longer wants to work. From then on, all the responsibilities of the family came down on her shoulders.

She was a selfless person and I did not want to be her.

ince the immigration official said that the case was going to remain open my sister spoke to the lawyer and she said that there is nothing that we can do.

My heart instantly dropped at that moment because we waited so long to get an interview and we grasped to what the lawyer in New York said, that it was highly improbable that this time we were going to get denied. Every aspect of the application process seemed to be in our favor. Honestly, after I was rejected the first time I did not want to enter the process again, but my family wanted me to apply thus my mother correspondingly did her citizenship so that she could petition me again. I told her that there was no need because I had a great life in Sosua with my children. My oldest child, Domingo, is studying to be a surveyor, my middle child, Ramon, is studying veterinary and my youngest daughter Yasmel is in high school. Nonetheless, we were full of hope that time that when we got rejected I questioned myself if it was my fault. The accusations made that I committed fraud hurt me the most.

Mr. Hill: Personally, I am not someone who believes that affirmative action is necessary, and it is unfair because someone could get in over someone else just because they are the “wrong” race. During my time in Syracuse, I did not experience any instances of race being a big factor in the admission process, but I do not know if it has been used before or more recently since my departure from the school.

Mr. Hill: Diversity was something the college strived for but it was not something that we as admissions staff were supposed to use to overshadow anything else, like actual academic achievements. Me: Was Syracuse a fairly diverse school in your opinion, or did race play no affect in terms of admissions and the diversity of the campus? Mr. Hill: Syracuse was a predominantly white college campus, and it still is. There are other races here or there, but the school is still mainly white, and this also applies to the campus’ staff. Professors are also predominantly white, with a smaller minority of other races.

I could go on for a long time about Bernie’s further radical history, but we’d be here for a while. But, I’ll give you the short of it: He ran a handful of times as a third party candidate in Vermont, before becoming mayor of Burlington by just 10 votes. He went on to become a Congressman, a Senator, and a (now) two-time presidential candidate. He did all of these things, not as a Democrat, but as an Independent (Except maybe his presidential runs. Those are a bit more complicated).

“Crazy Bernie.” Shaun King embraced the term. He said that Bernie had to be a little crazy to do the things he did. He had to be a little crazy to chain himself to other students in front of a bulldozer, he had to be a little crazy to be such a radical and so rebellious, and he’s got to be a little crazy, as a democratic socialist, to run for president again.

In addition to all the other activism he did on the local level (sit ins, organizing, being the Chair of the Congress of Racial Equality at UChicago) he also took part in the March on Washington with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. At Bernie’s rally, both Shaun King and Our Revolution President Nina Turner quoted Dr. King: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” I think that Bernie’s rebellion in times of challenge and controversy is a realization of his radical nature (and one of the things that I admire most about him).

Bernie was extremely active in the civil rights era. Journalist and activist Shaun King spoke at Bernie’s rally about a time where the Chicago school district was trying to install trailers for black children to learn in — in order to keep the schools segregated. Bernie, along with a multiracial group of other students, stood in front of bulldozers chained together to stop the construction. There’s an incredibly famous picture of Bernie, (which I’ll embed) of him being arrested by Chicago police while protesting. Shaun King said “Bernie wouldn’t let his feet touch the ground!”

Of course, Bernie didn’t mention himself in that quote, because he doesn’t like talking about himself (he made that a central part of his launch rally). When he spoke about his family’s murder at the rally, I could see the pain on his face.

Although it may look like I am hiding this from my son, I have reasoning for doing this. I chose not to tell my son the full information about his nationality because my husband and I decided to raise our children using the Jewish religion as a culture rather than ethnic culture. We chose to do this because my husband and I are of many different ethnicities so it would be hard to pinpoint a specific culture to raise our kids with. As a result of this we decided to raise our kids as Jewish, but not as a religion. We taught our children that being Jewish was there ethnicity, and used the Jewish holidays as our cultural celebrations. This seemed only natural considering Judaism was something my husband and I both grew up with, and we both had Judaism as a part of our daily lives.

(1) What is ethnic identity? My ethnicity has always been of wonder to me; not just what my parents tell me, but what do I say to friends? Growing up I always would ask my parents where my family was from, and they would just reply with that we were Jewish; a religion. As a result of this I always had the question of what nationality was since my parents seemed to think that religion was synonymous with ethnicity as a result of the fact that they identified more with their religious community than their ethnic group. I would write this project as an auto ethnography because I would like to answer it by exploring my discovery of the concept through personal experience. My auto ethnography would be in the form of a stream of consciousness.   first talking about my childhood, and how whenever I asked what my ethnicity was and my parents saying that I was Jewish, then going into when I found out what my ethnicity truly was. Finally, going through research that I have conducted/found to show how most people identify themselves. The research that I would present would be  interviews with people/family members, my personal experiences, and relevant psychological research if there is any. I would include this as research in order to show people the different ways identity can be established in the minds of people as well as how I identify myself.

Hari seeks to answer these questions as a result of his personal experience with drug addiction. Hari explains in his talk that many loved ones in his life have been drug addicts, and he even witnessed loved ones die from their drug addiction. Since many of his loved ones have had to combat drug addiction Hari wanted to know more about the condition that is drug addiction, and he answers these questions through his research which is presented to us in the form of an auto ethnography. Through his research he then concluded that the way we classify drug users and the way we deal with drug dealers is wrong. He shows us that drug usage is not an innate problem, but a problem caused by the person’s desire to cope with a bad situation. Hari reveals to us that the only way to really combat drug addiction is to better the lives of drug user, he proved this through various studies.
