    Robert G. Gonzales, an assistant professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of “Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America.”(2016) argues that the United States needs immigration reform to bring immigrants and their families out of the shadows, to recognize their deep community connections and economic contributions, and to build a strong American society.

    The next ingredient that made non-violence work was each leader accepting jail time. Gandhi spent about six and half years in jail but had no complaints about what would happen to him. In Doc.7 it states, “ I did not feel the slightest hesitation in entering the prisoner’s box.” As for Dr.King he was proud that he had come this far for his, but knew the fight wasn't over yet. In Doc.8 it states, “Those who had previously trembled before the law were now proud to be arrested for the cause of freedom.With this feeling of solidarity around me, I walked with firm steps towards the rear of the jail.” While, Mandela didn’t care what sentence he faced because he knew the people he would leave behind would finish his duties for him. In Doc.9 it states,…

    High speed desert chases are a common sight for agents on the ground. Most of the time, upon the pursuit’s end, human cargo is all that is found and, often, their smugglers are pursued after abandoning them. The cargo, however, is what is important. Not all illegals are willing illegals—meaning that some are forced, by threat of their families being harmed, into weapon, drug, or sex-trafficking. Therefore, Border Patrol agents are not just doing their job for the good of our country, but also for the good of those who are crossing over.…

    Violence, behavior intended to harm someone else, itself is a problem worldwide which does not have a clear cure, and in many places violence can be considered an epidemic because it spreads and takes the lives of those that surround it. Violence has many forms, but many people would agree that violence that operates within a system that involves an organized crime, also known as gangs, is very dangerous. Gang violence can be observed in many places around the world, some more than others. One of the most astonishing facts, according to LA times, about gang violence is that currently El Salvador is known as the world’s most violent country, and it’s capital, San Salvador, is known as the world’s most homicidal city. Recent statistics show that last year in El Salvador there were about 6,652 killings. This translates into a national homicide rate of almost 116 per 100,000, which happens…

    Aroused by the massacre of Amritsar in 1919, Gandhi devoted his life to gaining India’s independence from Great Britain. As the dominant figure used his persuasive philosophy of non-violent confrontation, he inspired political activists with many persuasions throughout the world (Andrews 23). Not only was Mahatma Gandhi a great peacemaker, but also his work to achieve freedom and equality for all people was greatly acknowledged. Gandhi’s unconventional style of leadership gained him the love of a country and eventually enabled him to lead the independence movement in India.…

    The discussion on A Passage to India as a political fiction has for long been dominated by the followers of a mimetic theory of literature, whose quest for empiricism tied to didacticism is achieved when they find the narrative content to be an authentic portrayal of India and a humanist critique of British-Indian relations during the last decades of the Empire. Since the accession of critical methods concerned with representation as an ideological construct, and not a truthful, morally inspired account of reality, however, the politics of the novel have demanded another mode of analysis, where the articulations of the fiction are related to the system of textual practices by which the metropolitan culture exercised its domination over the subordinate periphery; within this theoretical context, A Passage to India can be seen as at once inheriting and interrogating the discourses of the Raj. In common with other writings in the genre, this novel enunciates a strange meeting from a position of political privilege, and it is not difficult to find rhetorical instances where the other is designated within a set of essential and fixed characteristics: `Like most Orientals, Aziz overrated hospitality, mistaking it for intimacy'; `Suspicion in the Oriental is a sort of malignant tumour'; and so on. It is equally possible to demonstrate that while the idiom of Anglo-India is cruelly parodied, the overt criticism of colonialism is phrased in the feeblest of terms: `One touch of…
