13 years ago @ World In Conversation - Would you hire illegal... · 0 replies · 0 points

When asked the question would I ever hire an illegal immigrant for less pay over a legal of the United States my answer would be yes. There is several reasons why I do not really find a problem hiring an illegal immigrant for less pay. First of all the effort and effectiveness of the labor would be the same as a legal resident. Also the jobs that these illegal immigrants are willing to take, are jobs that legal residents are not or a lot less willing to take. I feel like hiring the illegal immigrants would help the economy in the long run. This is because people who are legal residents are more likely to have a better education and are more likely to have a better job. The jobs that do not require a high education or even any education are open and need laborers. This is where the illegal immigrants come in perfectly. These people are more than willing to take part in these jobs because they do not have the expertise or education to do any other job. This is a way of spreading the labor to the lower income class of people who are in the United States (including illegal immigrants). I do not think that it is wrong to hire an illegal immigrant who will provide labor for less money, because this will be better for the business in the long run. If the labor provided by the immigrants is effective and cheap than I feel that is can only be helpful to your business. However, if the labor is not the same in terms of effectiveness and the effort put into it, than I would hire the more effective laborer.
Some say that this is a way of giving illegal immigrants jobs that should be legal residents jobs. However, the majority of legal residents of the United States would not be willing to take these jobs. Also the legal residents would be more likely to be asking for a higher pay because of competition in the economy. Many businesses in society today are using the cheap labor provided by illegal immigrants. This is working out for the better of the business because immigrants are generally very hard workers are are very committed to their work. When they immigrate over the United States they just want to be employed and keep their job. This is why they put intense effort into every job that they come in contact with, so they can make the most out of their life changing immigration to the United States. The real problems will arise when illegal immigrants begin to take the jobs that are high-scale and require a certain level of education.

13 years ago @ World In Conversation - Is nepotism a good or ... · 1 reply · +2 points



Our lecture today was on nepotism and affirmative action and some of the effects or benefits that people have experienced from them. Many people have different views on the positive and negative outcomes of nepotism. Nepotism is basically showing a type of favoritism to a person based solely on the relationship with the person. Nepotism disregards the idea of granting something based off of merit. Nepotism is not fair and should be illegal in the corporate world, and education systems. The sad thing is that nepotism proves to be very beneficial to a mass of people in the world today. However, just because someone is benefitting off if something does not make it “right” or a “good” thing. Some people live their lives based off of their luck with nepotism. Ultimately, nepotism in the long run is a very negative thing.
If someone goes through life basically living off of networks and family relationships, they are less willing to learn important communication and other skills that will help them succeed in life. When someone gets a job, or is admitted into a school based off of whom they know, this is not fair to the other people who are being accepted off of merit. The people benefitting from nepotism do not need to acquire the same skills that someone who doesn’t benefit from nepotism, needs to acquire. These people will go through life and be placed in good positions just based off of affirmative action. This will lead to careless, lazy, and selfish people in society. These people will no longer attempt to show effort in their work because they know that their networking is strong enough to keep them at the position they are currently at. Regardless of the characteristics, personality, or skill of a person, nepotism makes the person feel that they are better or more qualified than another person for a specific position. However, these individuals are benefitting off of who them know in the world to keep them with a stable life.
When people are growing up and going through their life's with nepotism playing a significant role, they are more likely to have children who will also benefit from nepotism. In the long run, society will be full of networking and skill will no longer have any impact on one’s success. Many people are lazy to begin with, but now with the wide spread idea of nepotism, people are beginning to rely solely on the benefits from nepotism. Eventually no one will work for where or what they want to be in society, they will just have to easily meet the right people. This is sad, but it is reality. Nepotism needs to stop and the most qualified people need to rule society before it is too late.

I found this lecture to be extremely interesting and enlightening for both sexes. But being that I am a female, I found the information of the female perspective more enlightening. I found this to be the female side of the lecture because it was less obvious to me. I have never taken my role in a relationship out of context and analyzed exactly why and how things happen. Hearing the lecture helped me to realize the role that a female plays in a relationship and what every women goes through. The perspective of Sam and his wife was extremely helpful to hear because it proved that the idea is widespread, and that I am not the only one who has had trouble dealing with the opposite sex in some situations. It was interesting to see that others feel and see the same issues with men and their relationships.
The lecture also brought up an interesting idea about how women are more willing to say “no” when it comes to sexual activity, while men never give “no” a thought. We as humans, are obviously interested in sexual activity, however a man is much for focused on that than women. Women are more about the intimate attachment, and emotional factors, while most men focus on the pleasure aspect. As Sam and his wife discussed the reasoning behind this, it all made sense to me. This lecture made me and other women(most likely) not to feel guilty or mean for saying “no” in a situation where they do not feel comfortable. Women should never have to feel uncomfortable in a sexual situation, and should be able to get out of it easily, with no guilt attached. This was truly enlightening and hopefully will help many people, including myself, with relationships in the future.
Even though I found the female side of the lecture more enlightening, I believe that the man’s part of the lecture was very true as well. It was nice to hear the things that I have been thinking about from somebody else, and to know that other women go through the same things. The man’s portion of the lecture was a reinforcement on my beliefs already, but I believe that many men in the classroom were shocked to hear the majority of the facts. I wish that all men that are in a relationship or plan to be in one in their lifetime were required to listen to this lecture! It was enlightening to many an brought up so many topics that provided the solid facts. I believe that this lecture can have an impact on ones relationship and will teach many men and women to think about their actions beforehand.

13 years ago @ World In Conversation - Would you date someone... · 0 replies · +1 points

I believe that there is several reasons why white boys are somewhat hesitant to date black women. I know that there is many white boys who have only ever been associated with or even have been friends with white women. This brings up the reason, that white boys are nervous to experience new things that are outside of their comfort zone, which is in this case dating black women. The face that they do not want to experience or try new things does not just apply to white boy, it goes for all races and cultures. People of different cultures and races are less likely to step out of what is known and try foreign things. It is just human nature.Even if the white boy is physically attracted a black women there is several factors that may mentally hold them back from attempting to socialize or date a colored women.
Another reason why white guys are hesitant to attempt to date black women is their friends and family may not be acceptive of the idea. Many guys do not like to talk about their feelings and have trouble explaining if they really have feelings for a girl with their friends. So, if the girl happened to be black, this may make the situation even more complicated. On the other hand, family is a huge factor in whether or not a white boy will date a black girl. If the family does not accept or has not accepted a colored person in the past, the boy is less likely to attempt to date a colored girl. This is because no one wants to disappoint they’re family, especially if it is only over a girlfriend.
I believe that the main reason why white boys don’t normally try to date colored girl is because of their differences in culture. The culture between a white person and a black person can be extremely different depending on specific people. In order for the culture not to be a problem in a relationship, each of the people in the relationship would need to of had a lot of experience with other races and cultures. If not, than it will be difficult to adapt to the cultural differences. Many people are not willing to adapt or chance their culture for a girlfriend or boyfriend.
Men, like women as well, are afraid of rejection. This goes for all men, not just white men or just black men. So trying something new, such as dating or attempting to date a black women, comes with the chance of rejection. Many men will not even attempt to talk to a women if they have doubt that the women will accept the mans offer. This is another reason why white boys are hesitant to approach or attempt to date a black women.

The video that was shown in class was shocking, not only to me, but to the majority of the class. It is hard to believe that these young children are already thinking that there is a superior race in our society today. Just when people in society are speaking of how much we have evolved, in terms of racism and stereotyping, this video is shown. These young children were somehow shaped to believe that the white doll was the “good” doll, and the black doll was the “bad” doll. However, there are many different ideas of what exactly has shaped these young children to believe this. We spoke of this video in recitation and many people, including myself, seemed to believe that the colored children are molded to believe that white is “good” because of several materialistic reasons, rather than inborn racism or stereotyping.
The first, and the largest, reason for colored children thinking white is the “good” race is the media. When children are growing up, the majority of their activities are based off of television, movies and books. This media involves characters that are predominantly white. This is a huge reason for all children to believe that white is “good”. Children aspire to be like that famous superhero, or their favorite Disney princess. When your favorite characters are predominantly white, how could you think that white is “bad”? The first black Disney princess has just recently arrived in the media, which shows that the media is slowly progressing, however it is not enough to change the undeveloped minds of young children. I believe that the children believing that white is “good” and black is “bad” comes from materialistic reasoning more then racism. Children are far too young to make solid opinions on controversial topics such as race.
Another reason why young colored children think that white is “good” is because white people are the majority of people in society. When a child first discovers that they are different, even it is just based on skin color”, they immediately think that this makes them “bad”. Especially when a peer calls them out on it. Children, being brutally honest, tend to call other children out on things that may be harsh. For example, a comment on darker skin, compared to their white skin.
Family influence also has a huge impact of whether the colored children will believe their race is “good” or “bad”. Throughout a child’s youth it is extremely important to constantly reinforce their self-esteem. If a child does not have the love and pride from their parents, they will develop self-esteem issues, which may in turn lead them to believe that their skin color is “bad”
