Proposal !
The Elderly people of america have many rights but there are still problems that are being forgotten by society regarding the elderly. In this essay I will make a proposal for my fellow Congress members for the rights and equality of the elderly people of america.
Elderly people are sometimes forgotten by their family members and don't have money to cover their medications , food money and shelter. They sometimes have to choose weather to pay the medication that they are require to take buy food or pay rent . To resolve this problem I will propose to make a 28 Amendment stating that "All member of the family this meaning son/ daughter of a person ages 60+ that are not capable to covering the basic need that they need will need to pass a monthly allowance to the elderly mom / dad ". This new Amendment will help elderly people improve their life style .cover the basic needs and decreases elderly poverty.
What happends if their family dont have money to pay the allowence ?
Well int his case they will have to pass the goverment proof that their not capable of passing the allowence. They will have to help the elderly in any way this meanning cooking , helping around the house , giving them transpotantion , or just guarding them and looking out for their safety.
Another problem that is still being debated is weather or not elderly people should have the right to drive.Many elderly that mental and physical disease still drive because they need transportation . This can be dangerous to they're lives and to those who are around them they can cause accident or get lost.to resolve this problem I will make a new Amendment stating that "When people reach an age 60+ they should take a test to see if they are physically and mentally able to drive if they don't pass the test there driving licenses will be suspended ".
How will they get transportation ?
There will be an increase in the bus transportation service this will also help in job oportunities for other people. There will be also taxiz in the hospitals were they can get tranportation for theyre doctors apointment ect. Also they will be in the groceseris stores , casino's ect .

Change !
In the present the elderly have many rights regarding their safety,discrimination and healthcare .In the past they had no right and were seen like on useful to society.There still have to make more rights regarding the elderly because they sometimes are mistreated and forgotten.
In the past there were no private health care and many elderly didn't have health care . Now everybody needs to have health care no matter their race, sex age or social status. In the past elderly people were discriminated when looking for a job if there was a young women competing with an elderly women they will usually hired the young women. Other just put an age limit for the job . In the present their is a law against thediscrimination of elderly people and also they have the right to retired at age 50+ if they have or feel mentally or physically weak or if they have a disease they are paid by the government social security.In the present their is a debate on weather or not elderly people should be allowed to drive in the future they could make a law that states that elderly people should renew their license and see if they are truly capable of driving on their own.
In conclusion elderly people throwout the years have gain many rights but still need more and some should be renew . There are some laws of the elderly that don't take into consideration the lower class elderly people that need help and don't have social security and are not capable to get a health care plan.

Blog's You Should Read :) !
Paola's blog - Was very goood it had alot of useful information. I agree ith her when she says taht the Native Amrican's were traeted poorly by the American settler.I dont have any negative critisism towards here blog it was ver good. The thing that surprise me the most in her blog was the quote that stated "Native Americans were peaceful people who promoted tranquility, they even moved to Canada to avoid any fighting with the white Americans " this is veryy true.
Carolina's Blog - This her essay was very interesting since the begining i got caught up with her tittle.I totally agree with her when she says "Native Americans were showed as the “bad ones” according to many movies, they were the ones who were cruel to the whites and did not share their lands with the whites". Its very interestin if you need any help with native American and the way they were treated you should totally check her blog . :))
Katherine's Blog- Her blog has the same theme as mine the assimilation of Native American's this is a very interesting and controversial theme. Many people think the Americans were helping them but they were only making it worst.
Francisco's Blog- His blog was super interesting and very deatailed . I agree with this quote when he says "
Many movies where they show Indians are savages and killed many people are so called stereotypes. The white men and the Indians used to get along good I mean real good". I recomed this bolg to everybody you will enjoy reading it .
Ivania's Blog- I agree with Ivania the Native Americans were forced to move away from their land they didnt have any choice. It was very interesting to read her blog I like that she use examples from the way the Native American lived.

The Native American Assimilation
The U.S government wanted the Native Americans to assimilate or become like them.
They thought of the Native Americans as less educated, savages and uncivilized just because they had a totally different culture and religion. The government obligated the Native Americans to change their way a life, religion, and culture. The following essay will describe how the U.S government obligated the Native Americans to assimilate.
The Native American culture was totally different from that of the white Americans.
They believed in medicine men, didn’t have schools, believed land could not be owned, sold or bought and didn’t have a government, law and order. Indians didn’t want to sell their land the government though the best way of dealing with the Indians was to turn them into ''civilized'' Christian farmers. The U.S government obligated the Indians to convert to Christianity, mad them learn English, dress like a white American and to adapt to a whole new culture.
The U.S government went totally against the Ghost Dance Religion of the Native American. This religion was the belief that the earth will perish and then come alive again in a pure stage were only the Indians will ruled including the dead. The government was alarmed a thought the Indians will do something to get ride of the white Americans. In December 1890 the Ghost Dance religious was banned. This goes totally against the first amendment which prohibits the making of any law “respecting an establishment of religion",
In conclusion the white Americans wanted the Native Americans to change their ways of life, they’re culture and religion. They obligated the Indians to convert to Christianity, dress like a white american , go to school, change their name to a Cristian name and learn english. This most haved been hard since the native American had to adapt to a new completely different culture and blend in with the white american society .

My classmates blog :))
I went to read Bianca 's blog and the first thing that cut my eyes was her blog of the jurnal it was very interesting I really thought I was reading a journal made by a real Italian imigrant in that time. In Randy 's blog I learned that people are being detain in an island were they are treated badly y agree with Randy when he says and I quote "It is very lamentable how so many people were held as prisoners for trying to be free and happy." Paola's blog also was very interesting I learn that she has some Brtazilian heritage and Spain that is very cool like most of us she has a Spain last name since they came to Puerto Rico and mix with the Indians .In Karlitza 's blog I learn the History on why the Japanesse immigrated to the USA and why life for the Japannese was hard . I agree with Karlitza when she says "Life seemed hard for Japanese Immigrants so It made me view immigration as a better opportunity but at the same time as something risky" it so true once I made my blog and investigated more about Irish immigration and their life it really made me apretiate my life here in PR and that I havent had to move to any other cuntry.

My Family Immigration History
I dont know mush of my family history I dedicate to look for my family immigration history. My paternal last name is Sanchez comes from spain and was brought by the Spaniards to Puerto Rico . My maternal last name is Hernandez it is also Spanish .
Current Immigration Problems
I think this unfair for the Mexicans and discriminating just because a police thinks you look "illegal" he can detain you and make you show him your identification . Also it is discriminating because mexicans students can't take any classes that can incite them to rebel against the government.In my opinion Mexicans had immigrated to the USA and always will . They should open the border for everyone can get in and out the two countries and leave in peace .
Abie's Diary
Monday October 10 1854
-It was monday morning and my dad came earlier then usual to wake me up.He told me that we were moving to the USA without an explanation or reason. I didn't ask because the look on his face was as if he wouldn't tell me. I went and pack the few thing I had a shirt , one pair of pants and my teddy bear that reminds me of my mother who past away. I went to my big brother Blarney and asked him why we were moving he told something about potatoes that I didn't get . Why were potatoes the cause of my moving to the USA ?
Thursday October 12 1854
Today we are in the port of Dublin it took us three days to walk to Dublin . I was hearing Blarney made up stories and father telling us of his life when he was boy. We were with different Irish family who were like us moving to the USA. I keep hearing the grown ups around me talk about " The American Dream" I wonder what it is . I imagine it to be a long beautiful dream that you would never want to wake up to like those I have when I sleep.
Sunday October 16 1854
We arrived to Manhattan New York to our new home I was so happy . We lived one room apartment were there wasn't sun light in the house we had only one tiny window. I am sad for my grandpa and grandma and my cousins who had to stay in Ireland my father said that when he earns enough money we will bring them hear to live with us that calm me down a little bit. There wasn't sun light in the house we had only one tiny window. The first night in the new house made me miss my old one at least I had a little bed here although i had to share it with my father and brother.
Monday October 17 1854
Dad got out of bed and told me he was going to look for a job he told to keep an eye on Blarney. It was the first time he tells me to most of the time it was Blarney keeping an eye on me . I was thinking of getting a job too since I am big girl know. Father came late that day he had a worried look on his face he told he got a job in the construction of a bridge. I told father that I wanted to work in a clothe factory across the street that had a sign up that said "Jobs Available For Little Irish Girls " what a coincidence.
Thursday October 20 1854
My first day of work I was exited I enter the factory and the first thing I see is a little girl lying on the floor asking me for water . I didn't had water since the first thing they told me when i got the job was not to bring water nor food. My job was to clean the floor , bathroom , and machines. I worked 2 days straight without sleeping or eating . Some of the girls I worked with were Irish too others were German and Chinese few were Americans.
Saturday October 22 1854
I made a friend today at work her name in Claire she is irish too she a little older then me . Claire has been working in the factory for 1 year she tells me that she is tired of working hear and that she hates it. We talked four hours but still managing to get our work done. Claire told me she was feeling sick and that she hasn't eat like in 3 days . Suddenly as I am talking to her about my favorite color she fell to the floor. The boss came and took her to room she never got out.....
Monday January 1855
A year has pass and a lot of things happened I keep working in the factory and it is miserable then ever . I don't get to see my father that often since we are working all the time . My brother went back to Ireland because he hates his life here I miss him so much . I want to wake up from this american nightmare.

Italian Immigration to the USA " The American Dream "
In the 19th century agriculture was the main industry of Ireland . A large part of England was owned by wealthy landowner who rented a small part of their land to farmers that work for them and got paid eight pence a day. Some people weren't that lucky and didn't have any land began to move to the USA.
In October of 1845 a plague began among the potatoes in Ireland . This caused the Irish Potatoes Famine it was a period of massive starvation and disease because many people depended on potatoes for being the chief food in Ireland. Many people die of starvation a disease this made many people immigrate to the USA.By the end of 1854 nearly two million people about a quarter of the Irish population had immigrated to the United States.
Many Irish immigrants were very poor and came to the USA with only hope of living the American dream. Some of the poorest lived in lower Manhattan in New York . They lived in basements, cellars, and one-room apartments lacking natural light and ventilation and frequently flooded with sewage. Others worked in the construction of new canals and rails. Another job that many Irish to were coal miners in Pennsylvania the working condition in the mine were horrible with no safety.
In conclusion life was hard for some Irish immigrants they lived and work in horrible conditions. Many of them in the desperate search for a job they would get the lowest and most horrible job and get paid very little. Even though The Irish came to the USA they didn't changed their costumes,beliefs and religion.
