In my eyes there is a whole set of criminalities that occur for getting illegal immigrants over the borders and to maintain their residence here. Or, if they are deported that is just using the tax payers (youre own money too) to send them back to their home country. People who help immigrants illegally cross the border, or who hire them without papers and with low paying wages, and those who house them during their stay are all engaged in criminal acts and are not only stealing from themselves but are also stealing from their neighbors.
I do understand that we were at one point immigrants as well, but that was before any major systems were set in place, there were so many advances to be made. At this point in our society if an illegal immigrant is helped over the borders not only are you putting yourself at risk to get into trouble with the law but you are also at fault for screwing hard working Americans out of a job. This is the main reason that I would disagree with helping immigrants over.
We should figure out how to reform businesses to find Americans who are in need of work, or have a better system. If we did have a better system set up to help people find any kind of job to help them stay on their feet than we would also be able to help immigrants who come over legally, and hopefully put an end to any of the immigrants standing on street corners waiting for work. If this system has been working for them than any American who is in desperate need for a job should join them because obviously nothing and no one else is helping them get back on their feet.
When we are asking this question of would I help someone illegally immigrate into the country you are asking me if I would be willing to break the law. While I do believe that I am a very helpful person, I also find myself to be a very moral person as well.
While growing up in my home town, my father faced a lot of trouble finding work once we saw an increase in illegal immigrants. Other contractors were able to charge lower prices because of the cheap labor they were obtaining through these immigrants. With this decrease in work for my dad who was the bread winner in my family, being able to support me to go to Penn State was in question when this monetary struggle struck my family. I would not say that I am against immigrating but when it is done illegally, these people are stealing from the hard working tax payers who are trying to make themselves a better living.
I cannot find any argument that justifies that nepotism is wrong in any sense, there is really no harm to anyone in these opportunities. The acts of nepotism just can make a few situations harder and just more annoying than they should have been. As a communications major, they pride us on networking and getting to know our alumni as much as we can. If they are preaching nepotism in college than I believe it is all just about whether you make the opportunities for nepotism to occur more frequent by increasing your own networks.
Nepotism is something that is present within so many parts of our society. Penn State is known for one of the most largest forms of nepotism, our alumni networks. People come to Penn State solely for the perks of being a PSU graduate and a part of this association. It would take so much more effort in order to go against what is in our nature and consciously think about not giving in to the opportunity of nepotism.
When it comes to acknowledging that you may have hurt someones chances of a job, or an opportunity because of nepotism the way in which I would justify it is by being able to maintain my position. By landing a job or an opportunity one automatically can believe that regardless of whom they are, they got the reward so they feel that they are fit for the position.
When asking if you would turn down the act of nepotism it is like asking would you turn down a free ride. I believe that we don't really see nepotism as it happens to us, but it is easier to see when it occurs to other people. This backs up the idea that people may harp on the negative aspects of life than the positive. As Sam stated in class whenever an act of nepotism is offered to someone they will legitimize their situation by saying that they deserved it or that they have worked for it. One of my friends have just been offered an internship with ESPN because of her dad's job, this had made me very bitter because I have tried calling different contacts and applying but never got a call back. A few days after one of our alumni had given me the chance to interview for an internship this summer and I justified this help through telling myself that it was finally time for someone to help me out for once. If no one took the chance to help out one another or did not take the opportunity of nepotism, than I believe that there would be a lot more cut throat competition in life.
The other main difference that shocked me was the information that men are truly more forward and wanting of sex than females. I now understand how deeply lucky I am to have found a boyfriend who does not try to force me into anything I do not want and who truly respects that as I woman I am looking for deeper feelings. I feel bad for the other woman around me who feel as though they need to give into the men’s view of sex and get forced into doing things they later regret. In most of these situations, alcohol and men’s persistence drive them into these things.
I am very happy that Sam had a lecture on this as an I feel as though this information will help educate students in a greater understanding of sex in both genders.
The posters are true, No means No. It upsets me to hear the amount of sexual assault that takes place across the world. This needs to be stopped soon and something proactive needs to come into effect to help these from occurring. As a woman I understand the pressure that a woman is under when a male is trying to “hook up” with her. Younger males need to be educated more on how to treat woman and how to tell the difference when consent is giving and when it is not. I believe that the education of the younger generation of men may help to stop the amount of sexual assault that takes place.
I definitely thought the view on the opposite sex was more enlightening. It is widely known that the different sexes have different views and responses to sex but I never realized that men and women had drastic differences. The fact that the world views sex and all sexual encounters from a man’s point of view is very concerning. I have never realized the truth in that until Sam pointed it out. Once I thought about that, I started looking at movies and life experiences and it was almost completely, one hundred percent sided in the male respective. Once I learned about the fact that men sometimes get themselves into trouble because they are not quite sure if the girl gives consent I realized it is hard for both sides. For men, when a women says no they should respect that.
In Sam’s lecture on “The Needy Penis”, I came to class not sure of what was going to take place to be exact. I thought Sam did a great job in the title of the lecture to draw students to come to the lecture. In the lecture, Sam discussed how sex is viewed from both different sexes and gave us some very informative information on how different sexes view different things in the world.
