Although most immigrant groups experienced the same labor injustices such as long hours, unsafe working conditions, unfair pay, and unequal pay, the challenges of the labor market divided most cultural groups rather than uniting them. In Hawaii, as described by Ronald Takaki in his article, A Larger Memory: A History of Our Diversity with Voices, Japanese and Filipinos working on sugar plantations protested together in an effort to combat the injustices they faced. The plantations even developed a means of communication between all the races working on the plantation called “pidgin English”. Although this was successful in Hawaii, where the labor market was slightly less competitive than the mainland United States, tensions between immigrants…
People always say that living in a large city is a great quality, they like it because it let them get a lot of benefits; in my opinion, every place has its drawbacks; there is no perfect place that we can say: “It is formidable”. In the other hand, they are people who hate living in a large city, and they prefer the small one. As far as I live in Raleigh, I do not like it due to three reasons: change of weather, few means of transportation, and quiet life.…
Growing up there offered me a lot of unique experiences. I got to enjoy the comfort of living in a city, as well as the fun of having farms, rivers, and lakes nearby.…
In “The Argument for the Reality of Delayed Recall of Trauma” Richard Kluft suggests that repressed memory’s are held accountable. He provides sufficient evidence that this is in fact an arguable account.…
Death is the subject of both poems, Remember and The Cross of Snow, written by Christina Rossetti and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow respectively. The authors use many literary techniques, such as imagery, mood, and metaphors to explore the grieving process from two different perspectives, the dead in Remember and the living in The Cross of Snow. Although the poems have some similarities, they are also very different. While Longfellow's poem is about remembering and grieving, Rossetti's is about forgetting instead of mourning.…
Wearing only has moment –to-moment consciousness because he has not only retrograde amnesia but also anterograde amnesia, Wearing can still remember how to play the piano and conduct a choir, but he has no memories of receiving an education in music. Wearing can play the piano but once he stops he has not memory that he played and starts to shake intermittently. This shaking is a physical sign of the lack of ability to control his emotions. According to Medlibrary (2002) “Wearing’s brain is still trying to fire information in the form of action potentials to neurostructures that no longer exist” (p. 1.). “The resulting encephalic electrical disturbance leads to fits”…

Memory is fallible and malleable that can be changed and created a new experience or information. This fabricated or distorted remembering of an event is called a false memory, however, never occurred in reality. Inaccurate information and erroneous attribution sources of an original information causes to recollect entirely false events. Also, the false memory can have profound implications that vivid and lively recollection of memory may reconstruct new memory. In addition, it can be created by poor understanding of the false memory that lead to terrible miscarriages of justice in legal system. The purpose of this research is to explore the effect of the false memory and the possibilities of its formation.…
“Three Dumpsters full”, my mom sighed as we began the tedious journey home from my grandparents’ house in New York. We had been there for a week, which was longer than we had planned; all we had intended to do was clear out their garage, perhaps look at some old photo albums and laugh at my mother’s haircut or my uncle’s horrifying fashion sense. However, we had sorely underestimated the amount of items they had accumulated over the years. They had a two-story garage, which (unbeknownst to anyone, even my grandparents) harbored thousands of things: useless trinkets, dated toys, decrepit pieces of furniture, mold-ridden books. My mother stared in horror as she watched my grandma write the check for not one, not two, but three rental Dumpsters, which were packed to the brim with the material goods. These evidently had at one time been important enough to pack away and store “for the future”, but now nearly all of them were on their way to a landfill. Elizabeth Morris’s The Tyranny of Things describes this process of accumulation and clearing out, which made me think of nothing more than my grandparents’ old garage.…
Ever since my first psychology lecture, I have been fascinated by the nature of human memory. Indeed, human memory is one of the most tenacious and enigmatic problems ever faced by philosophers and psychologists. I intend to spend the rest of my professional life researching the nature of human memory and solving the riddle posed yet cunningly dodged by generations of philosophers and psychologists.…

I remember six years ago when I moved to the United States, I barely knew how to speak English. I only knew a couple words like "hello, how are you?”. That was all I had a chance to learn in school before I moved to the United States. I was surprised with everyone around me, maybe because the language everyone spoke to communicate with others was one that I could not understand. We did not do anything except sleeping for about a week. When we started getting used to the weather and the time over here, my uncle took my family and me around Houston to visit my cousin and see how our community is growing bigger every day in this country. I was so happy that I finally was able to understand what they were saying when we visited a Vietnamese market.…
It is a rainy Sunday afternoon in summer. I am sitting on the sofa at the glass windows in my bedroom, listening to the rhythm of rain and breathing deeply the fresh air after a long time of hot and dry weather. In fact, because of the busy pace in the modern life, I have lost my interest in looking the rain, which used to be my favorite hobby, years ago. As I am enjoying the sound of falling rain, which seems to be a nice song pleasing to the ears, my phone suddenly begins to ring and interrupts my pleasant feeling. I pick it up and hear a warm voice “ What are you doing? Taking an afternoon nap, right? You should not sleep so much.”. It is a call from my guy best friend who always cares about me like a big brother.…
Memories are what every human has experienced in the past, whether tragic, funny, shocking, and so on. We all have one memory in which it can't be effaced from our lives. When I ask myself what memory can't be relinquished from my mind only one comes into my understanding. I can consider my memory out of all the categories that I mentioned funny. The theory that I have developed evaluating this memory, I could say that funny memories or memories in general take place when you least expect it.…
