Minority Immigrants Living in Poverty: Education and Employment Factors (Canadian Studies Highlighted)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing minority immigrants living in poverty and the relation to education and employment. Within the last decade, increasing high levels of poverty have been recorded in the minority and recent immigrant populations in Canada and the United States. In Canada, recent immigrants make up over 52% of those under the poverty line in urban areas. Traditionally, immigrants coming into Canada whether skilled or unskilled laborers reached the average Canadian income in less than 10 years after their arrival. Educated immigrants previously had attained average or above income. Within the last 10 years however, this has not been the case and educated and professional immigrants are among the poorest population group in Canada along with the uneducated minority immigrants. Part of this is because it had been felt that due to the decline in the labor market, employers do not recognize the foreign credentials of immigrants but many critics also believe that discrimination plays a large part as well. Educational programs within Canada and the United States tend to focus on overcoming the language barrier firstly in addition to upgrading any educational or occupational labor skills. Regardless of the awareness of increased need in this area, many researchers still agree that the greatest barrier for most minority immigrants is racism which unless overcome will continue to reflect in an unequal representation of immigrant groups in poverty.

Minority Rules vs. Majority Rules
[ send me this paper ]
In 5 pages the author discusses minority rules vs. majority rules. There is inevitable conflict between majority rule and minority rule. Conflict is an ever-present part of human life, and one of ruling parties, in general. The side of the majority rule wants one thing and the side of the minority rule wants another. One person wants one thing and another person wants another thing. Both parties can not rule at once, so a struggle of some sort must ensue. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Minority Smoking Rates
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper written in the attempt to prove the hypothesis that smoking rates among low income minority adults in the southwest region are higher than those of upper and middle income classes regardless of race. What was discovered in the course of the research, however, was that not only is this sort of information apparently not available, but that current research is so poorly designed it cannot possibly provide reliable conclusions. Most discouraging is that the bulk of research data has come out of the Centers for Disease Control, one of our more respected government agencies. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
