"An experience in a new contry " Mrs. Kristi

As I decided to move to another country, which I’ve done two times before for variety reasons, and that either time has been as stressful as the first time, I realized that my family and I had to face some issues:
First, settling into new country which means new sights, new people, strange accents or completely new language. Moreover, we had a mix of excitement and anxiety. In addition to that, there are emotional aspects to deal with that come from saying goodbye to family and friends. Also, I was concerned about how I would cope with such an subversion in my life. How would I adjust to live in a new land which varies greatly from person to person and from circumstance to circumstance?
Secondly, I learned about where I was going. One of the important things was to understand and know as much as I could about the place, which has been related to the local culture, customs, religion, moral, ideals and beliefs which are importantly and moreover what are not also.
Certainly, I learned about social rules being aware of what is acceptable and what is not. In some cultures, for example, spitting in the public is considered acceptable while in other countries it is intended extremely offensive behavior. Knowing the history of the country made me to understand some of those customs and behaviors and gave me an insight into the country.
The third, fill out the paperwork. Since at the beginning I made sure I had all the information which needed to obtain items like Social Security numbers, bank accounts and tax numbers, which would make me and my family feel like part of local populace.
In additonal to, Choosing where to live had a dramatic effect to me. This has been related to some issues like public transport, travel time to work, the ambience of the neighborhood I and my family intended to live in, safety, shopping, and cost of living in that area. Also, I liked living into the area that already had a community of similar migrants or strong cultural connections to their homeland. For all of those, my friends' contribution has been valued.
Finally, learning the language was very important because it would help me to achieve new possibility and opportunity for finding a job and so on. Regarding to this fact I remembered once a worker, in the factory where I just started job, asked me about the job, and I was not able to answer what he wanted to know,saying,"I don't speak english." It made me feel embarrased, but he calmly gave me an address in a piece of letter. This address was about school I supposed to attend. This was good advice at that time to learn english. To day I realize that I had to go at school since at the beginning of starting the job, but better late than never.

Discussion Questions # 3 paragraph

#3 Did it suprise you to learn that in modern U.S. society women earn significantly less than men? Explain. In your opinion, what are the causes of the gender gap, and what do you think would have to happen for it to end?

I'm not very suprised, because we know that, in generally, the gender gap is always blatant form in all society in all over the world. This, for the fact, that women compare to men show that women cannot to be capable physically to do the same job like men. In particularly, it happen in certain fields of the economy development of a country such as America, furthermore,it is the most remarkable in undeveloped countries all over the world.

I can mention some of them, for example, in constraction, in huge industry, which are included oil industry, automobile industry,or in agriculture(farming)etc. These are a few significative facts that in modern U.S.society women earn less than men.

I think that this state will continue to exist, especially in the undeveloped countries. Otherwise, in developed countries like U.S., the gender gap would have to happen to end, because these countries would probably modernize whole fields of the development of their economy,so taking place the application of modern electronics in manufacturing processes will be a more reason, which enable the gender inequality in the workplace(the gender gap) almost to end.

About the Immigration all over world
In nowadays the immigration is very common in the world, but especially in those countries which have a strong economy. We all know that, at least in America, there are a lot of legal and illegal immigrants. But the question is: should the illegal immigrant be allowed to stay ?

Despite of , what directions the people come from( legal or illegal), the most of them want to stay, and why not, forever in America. But, based in our experience, their drawback is that they don’t feel free which means they can’t work and study, they can’t have medical insurance and it leads they have hard time staying in USA.
What about under conditions the immigrant should stay?

Then, legal immigrant should pay taxes, while illegal don’t, but what is important is that for America’s economy is a harmful, anotherone, once somebody make a crime is very difficult to find that criminal.

As a conclusion, American's government is interested all immigrants in USA being habilitated with all necessary documents that is needed for any independent American citizen. This enable that authorities to take controll on all people that are involved in crime.

To avoid those troubles or issues, the USA government apply a lottery for all immigrants want to enter and live in America.
