¶ … diversity in the United States upon the quality of education received by immigrants. The author identifies various factors that influence the success of education in schools where diversity is prevalent. The problem stated in the article is that there is a disproportionate amount of immigrants and native-born children of immigrants who underachieve in schools. The author then attempts to identify the focus of this problem and ways in which it can be remedied. It appears to be one of the most serious problems in the United States, especially in terms of the future. Education affects not only each individual who goes to school, but also the future of the country as a whole.
Firstly, the nature and scope of immigration is taken into account with regard to technology. Technological advances has made possible a higher level of skills for foreigners who wish to immigrate to the United States. Transport advances has also caused a greater influx of foreigners into the country. Many of these are however unskilled workers, for whom little opportunity beyond extremely low-paying jobs exist. This influences family life and thus also school attendance and performance.
One of the greatest problems is however funding. Funding to create programs that adequately deal with the educational needs of non-English speakers is not always deemed important in political circles. The author makes a very strong point when he connects education of both Americans and foreigners with the future of the country. Politicians should thus be made aware of the seriousness of the issue.
Even more important is the perception that is cultivated of immigrants. The United States professes to be a country where equal opportunities exist for all. The author however reveals that this is not true in education. Politicians as representatives of freedom and equality should take statistics such as mentioned in the article seriously, and make appropriate changes.

The United States was considered a melting pot because of its inherent diversity due to the vast immigrations from all over the world. However, even despite the vast
United States Postal Service A self-supporting agency of the U.S. government, USPS concerns itself with the provision of postal and mail services in the U.S. Being independent, this means that the agency isn't supported by tax dollars.

The movement to stop apartheid in South Africa really became popular on college campuses all across the United States during that time, and it begin to spread out eventually into other areas of society as well, which brought it to the notice of the government much more strongly than it already was. When it became obvious that there were many people in the country that were concerned about what was

Constitution of the United States was ratified after lengthy debate, mainly focused around issues related to the powers that would be bequeathed to the federal government. Although a gross oversimplification, the debate can be loosely qualified as being one between federalists on the one hand, and antifederalists on the other. Federalists, among them founding father luminaries from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin to James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John
Because of the newer mobility of a significant amount of suburban America, driving to national parks was even more an option. The more people visited the Parks, it seemed, the more of a synergistic effect upon their funding and use (Jensen and Guthrie, 2006). By the Johnson Administration in the 1960s, coupled with more media attention, there was increased public awareness of America's natural treasures. This was now that "Parks
