TASK 6: ABOUT IMMIGRATION

Immigration is caused by a lot of factors; the possible causes are: politic, poverty, the possibility to find a job, natural disasters, overpopulation, and a relationship and so on.

Immigration can be legal or illegal, that is why it is very difficult to get exact datum about it.

Generally speaking, you can find two main arguments pro and against immigration. One theory regards economy: immigrants are employed to do not qualified job as factory worker; the second theory concerns Nationalism: some people do not want immigrants because they believe that immigrants have a style of life very far from the style of life of people who are not immigrants.
In USA the “melting pot” is quite usual: a lot of people in the American class have ancestors or parents who were/are immigrants, whereas in the Italian class is not a frequent thing.

Personally I believe that there are different types of immigrants: I do not feel a lot of difference with Western immigrants because they have a similar culture; of course I feel more difference with immigrants who have much different habits, for example a Chinese person.

One last thing, more close-minded is a community more difficult is to have some exchange with its members.

TASK 5: COMMENT ON FORUMS

The post in the forum called “women in politics” strikes my eyes... the reply of Kristen was very interesting, she says that the problem is not only the gender but also the color of the skin.
The examples of this electoral campaign clearly Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton; however, Kristen gives an other examples: Shirley Chisholm, who in 1972 was candidate for presidency although she was female and black, clearly she loose her campaign, the time was not mature.
What I think is that Hilary and Obama have a great possibility to win the campaign, both candidates have something different: one is black, the other is female. What a match!!
Personally, I like Hilary because, of course she is a woman and furthermore she has experience; in Italy it was said that during the government of Clinton it was her who commanded, I like the fact she is a strong woman and I believe she will govern her country without problems. I like Obama because he has fresh ideas and he did not take money from oil companies for his campaign.

This is about USA and what about Italy?
I write this post late because I was ill, now one knows that Berlusconi won the campaign in Italy against his main adversary Veltroni. The battle in Italy is always between white males, which is not a novelty. I believe that women in Parlamento are very few; the only female candidate was Daniela Santanché belonging to right wing. I like the fact that a woman was candidate, but when I heard her verbal fight with Alessandra Mussolini she fall into my disfavor…
