    Evelyn Glenn argues that race and gender shaped the development of both citizenship and labor in the United States. She explains that citizenship created boundaries of inclusion and exclusion in the sociopolitical order while labor privileged the economic order and determined which groups had access to autonomy, standards of living, and access to goods and services. White masculinity was the norm that maintained these spaces of exclusion and oppression. The shifting requirements of citizenship were influenced by the shifts in labor organization. Anglo men produced commodities outside of the home while women maintained social reproduction in the domestic sphere. As new class formations and conflicts emerged, the increase of a need for wage labor…

    Chapter eight discusses the migration of the Chinese in the 1800’s. These migrants were looking for a peaceful place to live from than China. In China there were conflicts caused by British Opium Wars. While British Colonialism was pushing the Irish population west across the Atlantic, it was also pushing the Chinese east across the Pacific. Another reason for this migration was that they were getting away from the chaos of peasant rebellions. Along with all of this, there was an economic crisis. Most of those who migrated were men, temporarily working in America. They were illiterate and hardly went to school but they had high expectations for themselves.…

    With the developed information technology, the world has become smaller and smaller as a whole. However, a gap between poor and rich is growing in the last decades (Eikenberry, 2006, p.587). The philanthropy, which means voluntary contribution to welfare, also has received more attention in the mainstream media. Philanthropy from a few privileged people in richer countries can make a difference to the poorer people and countries. Just as Margaret Mead (cited in Leder, 2005, p.1) said “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can changed the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”. Philanthropy which helps others is also a similar attitude to global citizenship. Global citizenship means recognizing the common humanity and establishment of the sense of agency and responsibility which is able and willing to engage the world thoughtfully, helpfully and hopefully (Kornelson, 2011, p.92). This essay will discuss global citizenship in three aspects: environment, education and diversity, and links them with the common responsibility. Then this essay will also analyses McDonald’s as an instance to explain its global citizenship.…

    There are many reasons why the naturalization process is both difficult, extensive and expensive. The fee for the application to start the process of naturalization costs $680 for adults. This is a significant setback since many immigrants today live below the poverty line and have no means to pay that amount. Plus there is still the option of paying for a citizenship lawyer which will add even more to this process. There are many causes why this process could take longer than one year: filling out the application incorrectly could delay the process back months, maybe even years, and even once the application is processed correctly it could take one to one hundred and eighty days to schedule an interview. The citizenship process is too difficult, expensive and extensive for the average illegal immigrant in the City of Chicago. Furthermore, this issue is important because legalizing immigrants will contribute to this city’s economic and civic life; therefore immigrants need significant assistance in educational and language requirement. This is the best solution because of the fact that an increase in immigrants becoming citizens could increase the amount of revenue that the City of Chicago will receive in…
