Migration Ethnography
My hometown is Tampa, Florida, according to the 2000 census data the city of Tampa consists of predominantly Caucasian and African Americans (Area Connect.) A large part of Tampa’s rich cultural history is thanks to the Cuban and Spanish settlers who established Ybor City in the late 1800’s and the establishment of a military base during the Spanish-American War and in modern times through MacDill Air Force Base being located in South Tampa (City of Tampa.)
The information from Chapter 3 that intrigued me was learning more about the ongoing migration, expansion and settlement of North America; to be specific the map on page 58 showing the territorial acquisitions of the United States and Canada (Hardwick, Shelley & Holtgrieve.) I would like

    Fresno, Californi A Demographic Analysis

    I grew up in one of the poorest cities in America, Fresno, California, and I loved it there. There is so much diversity, people who "have it all"; stable income, huge houses, healthy families, and people who have very little; crowded apartments, broken family structures, and barely enough money to pay the bills. It is a very racially and ethnically diverse city. About half of the population of Fresno is caucasian, and about forty percent is Hispanic or Latino. Asians and African-Americans make up the most of the rest of the population. Growing up, I went to a high school in southwest Fresno, which many would consider the "scary part" of town. There was a high concentration of crime, poverty, and specific races in that area, that many people…

    Assess the Role of Canada in the First World War.

    When people look back and remember the First World War, they often remember the assassination of Franz-Ferdinand, the sinking of the Lusitania, or the Zimmerman telegram. Not often do they recall the role that Canada played in the war. However, Canadians were a significant factor of the Allies’ success. Although Canada only possessed two Navy warships at the time and was known for being a peaceful country, she supplied over 60,000,000 shells to the Allies’ troops and endured over 67,000 casualties and 173,000 men wounded across multiple battles. With that said, it could also be argued that internal political conflicts in Canada afflicted their overall contribution to the war. In fact, many French-Canadians (specifically in Quebec) were reluctant and even opposed to aiding Britain in the war. This fact is understandable because Canada committed to a total war effort, even when it was not exactly their war to fight. When the British Empire joined World War I in 1914, all Dominions of the Empire were brought into the conflict, including Canada. Canada was not given prior knowledge, it was automatic, and without their consent. Even though Canada may have not met her full potential as an aid to the war because of her political disputes, she managed to fight a good fight in the end. The main importance of that country’s role in World War One was that it gave them their identity as Canadians, dissolving the idea of being British subjects and not their own nation.…

    Challenges Of Migration Essay

    Over the years migration has had a big impact on society. Europeans have left their homes to live in the United States from the seventeenth century up until this century. They left because of religious and political oppression, because of lack of economic opportunity, and because they wanted to better their families lives. The journey was dangerous because of disease that could kill them and the storms among the oceans. When they arrived in the United States they struggled with the language spoken, finding jobs, and a shelter to live in. Most immigrants suffered with the same challenges along the way. They were faced with obstacles like learning a new language and starting from the bottom and making there way up financially.…
