Globalization and Tiffums

Globalization is the intergration of other economies and societies around the world. The way that globalization affects me in my everyday is because it affects my boyfriend. Don't jump to conclusions please he's not just using me for a green card or anything. He was actually one of my highschool friends back at Mt. Zion High, we played on the soccer team together. And took some of the same AP course along with belonging to the same club, we were both in TSA. He is a very smart indiviual he made the top ten percent at school and was invited to GHP for technology and won a few awards. He was never arrested or had any childern to may knowledge, but he's your above average everyday student. The only difference is that he was born in Mexico and we were born in America. It sucks ,I mean really it sucks so much a$$ that he allowed to go to public high school illegally, but when he wants to go to college he not allowed to apply for any scholarships. I f he wants to go to college he would ahve to pay up front for every course load, I know some people you all know may do that. But why when your smart enough to go through college for free. Because of Plyer vs. Doe he allowed to go to K-12, and i think that ,that's a trap to say the least. When your in high school what is one of the many things taht the teac hers and your parents embled i you. Get good grades and you can go to college, but not for him he can get excellent grades and he can get a job and save up to go to college. America the melting pot as it was, is nothing but a pot of lies and misconceptions, as the dominate cultures fear the new enrties. How can we be this melting pot if we are afraid of the ingredients that make us special. There are those out west who fear this event stating that thenew culture will simply take over the current one, leaving tham with nothing. Mexicification is one of the colorful terms used to describe a part of town where there is a large population of unassimulted Hispanic people. Unassimulated thats what scares them that they won't like what they like and they would buy the things they buy. That they will shop at their stores and buy from theri people. Which is bad also but, their reason is totally different. The reason they fear change is because some of them maybe illegal and wish not to take a cajnce and get caught. Feeling that they can only trust themselves they keep to themselves for protection and safety. But we can't live on in fear of on another something has to give, America is suppose to be this great place of opportunites and dreams open for anyone. But as long as you meet our rules and regulations, globalization has played a part in this also by promoting America as such. So when others in foreign countries hear how if they can make it to America they can proved a better life for their families they go for it. It doesn't matter what it might take, their families worth it and if it's too dangerous tpo bring their family along they simply send money back home. To help their family, and they think they're just fine. Besides we need them more than they need us, without illegal immigrants our economy woukd crumple and fall into a depression, one that would rival the dust bowl.
