regulation of business, support for labor and collective bargaining, and federal aid to education and agriculture; all which helped the United States to industrialize. This economic program reflected a dedication to humanization of the industrial system and laid the foundation for the modern welfare state. According to Woodrow Wilson, the 14 Points maintain relevancy as the world pushes for the disintegration of economic barriers and the reduction of weapons among civilians.
Woodrow Wilson was the first statesman of world stature to speak out against European imperialism and his 14 Points increased the power of the executive branch by ensuring adherence to national and international laws.
Wilson contributed to expanding executive power by acting as a national mediator. He focussed on the interests of his people, and intended on bringing peace among nations after World War I. The 14 points became the inspiration for the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization created after World War II to promote international cooperation. While the world continues to declare war, the international hope is for an adherence to and respect for the United Nations and its Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Not only has he inspired the world, but Wilson’s presidential legacy has also influenced American politics, culture and society. With that said, it is disagreed with his argument that a person whose primary identity is with a particular group in America “has not yet become an American” as the United States would not be as successful and diverse as it is today without the various races, cultures, and experiences of all
Americans.
Even the most recent immigrants are enriching the nation's economy, culture, and educational institutions by adhering to the first amendment right by maintaining their freedom of religion and freedom of cultural expression . Thus, all cultures, no matter the race, color, sex, or ethnicity, have the ability and are oftentimes encouraged to display their heritage. The United States of America can be described as a mosaic as of its varying cultures, religious beliefs, and overall human experiences that come together to create a larger image of what it means to be American, while still remaining individual. Jimmy Carter explains the American people as “not a melting pot, but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.¨ The people of the United States do not need to assimilate into a particular way of life, but rather Americans are encouraged to develop into whomever they wish to be; thus this panel disagrees with Wilson as how the people feel that the intricacies of being American are more important than conformity. The Northeast, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast and West coast regions of the United States maintain their own unmistakable conventions and traditions.
With that said, Americans disagree about the significance of this increasing diversity. Some argue that recent immigration patterns are not substantially different from what has happened throughout American history, where the most recent immigrants, like their predecessors, enrich that nation’s economy, culture, and educational institutions. Yet, others worry that there are limits to how much diversity the country can absorb, particularly if large groups of immigrants do not speak English and adhere to cultural practices that conflict with fundamental American principles. Economist George Borjas, an expert on immigration impacts, clarifies what he calls the “practical economics” of immigration policy: “Immigration entails both gains and losses for the native population.… The winners and losers are typically different groups.” Borjas explains how there will always be advocates and opponents to immigration policy in the United States, but it is always important to remember that those who immigrate to the United States are doing so to start a new life. A new life for immigrants means allowing them to have a fresh start in life and live a much better life.
One case is when the Obama administration announced the program to allow immigrants to stay and work in 2014. First, it would have kept some immigrant parents in the U.S. Their children were born here and are citizens. Second, it would have helped people who came here as children. Justice Antonin Scalia passed away leaving 8 justices to decide. This resulted in a 4-4 tie.During President Wilson’s time in office, from 1913 to 1921, the United States Supreme Court judged a three cases on citizens’ rights to freedom of expression which include Schenck v. United States, and Abrams v. United States. When America entered World War I in 1917, Congress passed a law called the Espionage Act which said that during wartime obstructing the draft and trying to make soldiers disloyal or disobedient were crimes. Almost 2,000 people were accused of violating this law and were put on trial. Charles Schenck mailed thousands of pamphlets that said that the government had no right to send American citizens to other countries to kill people. The Abrams v. United States case also argued against the Espionage Act in 1918. In both Schenck v. United States, and Abrams v. United States the supreme court decided to prevent the people from having any type of freedom of speech towards any soldier which contradicted the people's right given to them in the first amendment.
