Introduction: research paper

“ People from seven mainly countries and all refugees now face big problems entering US due to
President Trump’s travel ban. People without close family or business relationships in the US could be denied visas and barred entry. What could be the real consequences to this travel ban for those people”.


       Early this year in January 27, President Trump signed an executive order stopping all refugee 

admissions and temporarily barring people from seven muslim-majority countries: Iraq, Iran, Syria, 

Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Trump and his administration believe that the decision could help 

protect the United States from terrorist attacks, but more citizens believe it will block a lot of people 

without close family or business relationships. From that day to now, there have been protests all over 

the country and in most Arab countries. This problem brought a lot of polemics within the two major 

political parties of the country, Republican and democratic. It also opposed trump’s administration to  

more federal Judges who tried several times to block Trump’s travel ban. To defend his action, Trump 

says the controversial executive order makes good on election promises to “make America great again “. 

But I don’t strongly agree with his executive order because the immigration and nationality act said that 

“no person could be discriminated against the issuance of an immigration visa because of the person 

race, sex, nationality, place of birth or place of residence.

The stuff nurses should be made of

            I call it the right mix, compassion and skills. Nurses need a combination of both compassion and skills in order to be in a position to offer the best care for patients .Being physically and mentally sound is a requirement,compassion and empathy for both patient and family especially in a time when a patients condition may seem bleak and hopeless  or treatments fraught with challenges, a nurse with compassion becomes a ray of light to the patient and family, as much as a nurse cannot give false hope to patient and their family, having a great attitude towards your work makes a huge difference in their well being,especially mentally, and it has been said that sometimes the difference between two patients recovering from an illness or even surviving one depends on the positive attitude they have concerning their condition.Sometimes this attitude must come from their caregivers, the star of the show, nurses, coupled with this, is skills. A nurse must be skillful in their field of work, they have to have quick wits in order to make emegency decisions that could very well save a life.Acting quickly and decisively is very important and again could mean a life or death. A nurse needs not be an orator but should have a level of strong communication skills, speak clearly and comforting to patients, should have enough knowledge about the situation in order to explain to Doctors and other nurses about diagnoses and and treatments to bring about a competent work environment.

New Source

In The New York Times I found an article about, titled “ ‘Taki 183’ Spawns Pen Pals”. It is about one of the first taggers in New York City. His name is Demetrius. A Greek-American teenager from Washington Heights who wrote, “Taki 183” his nickname and street address.  There he says how he writes his name wherever goes including subway stations, inside subway cars, all over the city, on walls along Broadway, al Kennedy International Airport, in New Jersey, Connecticut, and other places because it is something that he had to do. Thousands of people saw these tags and this sparked the interest of many young people to start their own “tagging”.  The goal was to get as many tags as possible. His says how their goal was to gain fame and recognition of how many tags they put up, where the graffiti is, and the size and style of it.

Initiative To Remove Graffiti

Graffiti may show alliances between gangs, mark the scene of a crime, or commemorate the death of a beloved member. “In July 1985, the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City published a study showing widespread fear of theft and assault in downtown Brooklyn, Fordham Road in the Bronx, and Jamaica Center in Queens. Riders abandoned the subway in droves, fearing assault from lunatics and gangs” (Kelling).  Because of these events, the government started looking for solutions to eradicate graffiti. According to an article written by Edward and Lawson, Mayor Bloomberg makes a statement on his graffiti cleanup initiative back in July 2003. He says, “Graffiti is an invitation for criminal behavior and sends a message that we do not care about our City”. Although Graffiti can be seen as a positive form of art, society has been quick to stigmatize it as a delinquent act which has a negative effect on the neighborhood. Bloomberg insists banishing graffiti markings permanently in order to develop neighborhoods to a standard where people would want to live and businesses would want to locate and invest.

Sources

My first source is a book called Street Art: The Graffiti Revolution. It is a book strictly about graffiti and how it is view in different part of the world. My second source is an article from the website NYC.gov called “Mayor Bloomberg Updates Citywide Graffiti Cleanup Initiative”. The website is run by the government which automatically makes it reliable. This website explains how much the government invested and keep investing to remove graffiti made without the owner’s concern in NYC. And my third source is a book called Graffiti New York by Felisbret Eric. This is literally the best source out of the three. This one tells the story how, why, and where graffiti started. It also narrates how New York city felt about the existence of graffiti present all around the city and why it reflected a careless community.
