    The Influence Of Filipino Immigration To The United States

    Philippines, a nation of over 7,000 islands, is a country that contains different cultures and influences. These influences originated from previous settlement of Spain and the United States. The Filipino immigration to the United States first started when the Philippines became a territory of the United States in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American War. A large number of the immigrants arrived in Hawaii as laborers in agriculture and domestic services. Filipino Americans make up the nation’s second-largest Asian American group. “The Filipino immigrant community in the United States jumped from 105,000 in 1960 (1.1 percent of all immigrants) to 1,844,000 in 2013 (4.5 percent)” (Batalova & McNamara, 2015). Today, Filipino Americans are…

    Romanticism Style in “La Belle Dame Sans Merci”

    The Romantic period in Literature is believed to have begun in 1798 when Samuel Coleridge and William Wordsworth published a book of poems called “Lyrical Ballads”. Romantic writers “emphasized imagination and emotion” (Romanticism 457). Romantic writers use medieval subjects and settings in their writings. “The love theme explores dreams of heterosexual bliss, but it also moves into the appropriate relationships to be had with art and nature” (Matlak 1771). John Keats is included in the second generation of English romantics. Keats is known as the youngest of English romantic poets. John Keats “greatest poems –‘The Eve of St. Agnes’, the six magnificent odes, ‘Lamia’; some of his finest sonnets—were written between January and September of 1819 when his remarkable poetic genius had just began to realize itself” (Romanticism 470). “Romantic poets are famous for describing the world as a subjective experience, one in which the important things happen to the human heart” (Kelly 26). The poem “La Belle Dame sans Merci” proves John Keats was a romantic poet. “One of the most notable things about John Keats’s ballad ‘La Belle Dame sans Merci’ is the sly way it presents one of the key issues of romantic philosophy” (Kelly 24).…

    Why Guns Should Not Be Banned Essay

    Firearms are weapons of destruction, annihilation, and carnage. However, a lot of people disagree and have very legitimate reasons why firearms should not be banned. There are several controversies that suggest banning the use or possession of firearms. Guns should not be banned. In contrast, guns can be weapons of destruction or a form of self-protection; depending on the user and the training of that particular person. Being trained by a firearms instructor can help users know the importance of firearm safety and how to properly use firearms. Firearms are to be used for self-protection and war. Also, taking away firearms is against the 2nd amendment; according to the United States Constitution--"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Therefore, banning firearms is against the United States Constitution. In conclusion firearms are to not be banned and should remain in the hands of responsible, trained, citizens.…

    Filipino Immigration

    Many Filipinos who have migrated to the U.S had an opportunity to explore a different type of life. Living in America there are so many opportunities for each Filipino to live, work and to have a better type of lifestyle. Migrating from a third world country is a huge transition from the way life is in the U.S. Coming from a country of seven thousand plus islands and a culture where “…women were considered equal to men,”(1) according to Linda A. Revilla in her article entitled, “Filipino Americans: Historical Review,” Filipino Americans have presently become the second largest immigrant group to enter the US annually.…

    The Axis of Evil Is the Plastic Surgery

    Plastic surgery is a very expensive procedure, which involves skin grafting. It can put tremendous financial pressure on you and your family. While assessing the cost of this surgery, people tend to take into account only the cost of the surgery, and completely overlook the unexpected cost that can arise from postoperative complications and the hospital charges they have to shell out in case they have to stay back in the hospital for any postoperative procedure. People also forget to consider the cost of postoperative medications, which can't be avoided, as not taking them can result in further complications. In all, plastic surgery is a costly and complicated affair and considerable care and precautions need to be followed after the surgery.…

    Waiting to Exhale: Filipino Nationalism in the Age of Globalization

    At the end of the Cold War, a new phenomenon arose characterized by massive intensification of economic, political, social and cultural linkages across borders and continents. People call it many different names to the confusion of the common men and women. Some spoke of liberalization, while others started a discourse on internationalization-all these refer to rapid and large-scale changes in global trends that have significantly altered traditional views, standards and even practices. The good news is that somebody has finally coined a term to describe this phenomenon. The bad news is, up to this day, many still remain unable to understand it, much less cope with it. But whether we like it or not, the advent of globalization has come.…

    Pilipino Diaspora

    The Filipino diaspora is becoming increasingly common and could possibly be one of the most important aspects to Filipino economy and family stability. To be a diaspora means leaving one’s home country in hopes of gaining more opportunities to help themselves and their family become successful. In the past few decades, there has been an increase in filipinos leaving their homeland in hopes to send back money for their families. The number of countries that they find themselves in has also increased in the past few years with the top places for Filipino Americans being the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. Although the promise of a new land may bring hope for new opportunities and success, there is always the chance of complications and hardship. Some examples of these negatives would be loosing touch with one’s culture and heritage or problems arising in the family. Having to be away from one’s family for long periods of time can greatly affect the family dynamics and life at home. Overcoming these kinds of difficulties can be one of the greatest tests of a strong filipino household, but there are many positive benefits that can come out of this experience. Some of these being a stronger sense of culture, family, and independence.…
