Graduate / Homeless situation - personal statement [10]

You should definitely describe your homeless situation - that will be a winner, believe me :).

Undergraduate / Immigration reform in the United States during the economic crysis period. Issue of Importance essay [16]


Then that's even worse, your young age might have excused you... Anyway, I didn't want to focus on your age.


Well, so do you believe in the free market and capitalism or do you prefer socialism? Or maybe to combine both (and make everything as relevant as possible - then life becomes as simple as eating in McDonald's).

It appears you suggest the US to become a socialism in the times of the economic crisis (so that the government PROTECTS its workers from free market and competition) and when everything is well, let there be capitalism to spend borrowed money and hire the illegal immigrants to cut your grass or do your construction job? How lawyer-slick style is that? You were in the army and you have probably believed or was told that the US is capitalism and it's the greatest system in the world - but now you try to suggest the Russia was right in the previous century and their system should have prevailed?

You need to understand that without competition and free market there is no progress. Look what has happened to the US auto industry and compare the American cars with the Japanese or European ones. The US auto lobbysts and auto unions made sure people working in the US auto industry are 'protected' and the bad news is they were also protected from introducting advanced technology and improving their skills. These companies existed like in socialism, they were just producing junk in the hopes someone will buy it anyway. You want more job protection to build more junk cars? I thought the point was to build a BETTER product and to promote MORE COMPETITIVE working skills. Not to protect jobs at all costs like in socialism.

So my point is that immigrants (both legal and illegal) actually make the country more competitive and efficient in the long run. And it is a blessing - not a problem - that immigrants actually still want to live in the US (even though the more skillful ones now prefer to go to European Union countries).

Undergraduate / Immigration reform in the United States during the economic crysis period. Issue of Importance essay [16]


Then can you explain why MY TAX MONEY is spent on immigrants who may be eligible to become US citizens once they served in the army? Technically and logically when they serve the US army they are still immigrants and the US citizens pay their money for their training, gear, food, armor.


Would customers be happy to go tomorrow to a store and find out the prices of their foods or services went up overnight (because the employers were forced to hire 'legal' workers and pay them more)? I don't think so. But then there would be nobody to blame (the media won't blame employers for hiring legal workers) except for the government and that would be unacceptable situation for them. So the government plays the devil's advocate and everybody is 'happy' (ie. brain-washed).


The financial departament has nothing to do with the citizenship department. By default people who pay taxes are not being recorded or checked by the citizenship department.

Undergraduate / Immigration reform in the United States during the economic crysis period. Issue of Importance essay [16]


You are young but already brain-washed by the "independent" (wink) media. The media want to blame the immigrants for the government failures. The government controls the media in one way or another. Same story has been going on for decades now. But they don't mention most of the immigrants take the menial or low-paid jobs that an average US-born citizen would not touch with a 10-foot pole AND they pay taxes. Not to mention HALF of the "US" army soldiers ARE IMMIGRANTS (did you know the US government give US citizenship to immigrants who go to war as US soldiers?).

$10 billion is nothing compared to what the US governments has WASTED for nothing in the past 60 years. Just check the facts: propublica.org/special/government-bailouts

If you remember your ancestors have also been immigrants at one point (unless you are a Native Indian) then you should realize your statements are ignorant to say at least. $10 billion spent on HUMANS (immigrants are humans if you didn't know) versus $1000billion spent 2008 YEAR ALONE on institutions that still have no idea about a recovery plan - what would you choose?

Research Papers / GLOBAL WARMING and natural disasters essay [10]

Don't buy what politicians and other semi-experts tell you about global warming. The 'global warming' issue is a ploy by the government and other 'organizations' that want to get tax money for nothing. Global warming is something that happens NATURALLY every X thousand of years (between 20 and 40 thousands).

They try to sell you ice on Antarctica. No matter what you do there is NO WAY to stop global warming. It's like you tried to stop wind from blowing, or rain from raining, or sun from shining.

If I tell you there's too much wind on earth and that could cause flu bacteria to move quickly between the continents, you would also buy it (as most of the society would). Then I would get money for "research" etc. which would be like throwing money into a garbage bin. But people like to waste money (or rather the media and politicians know how to make them do so).

You are young and you should think for yourself.

Undergraduate / SUNY or Common App which is better ? [9]

Most students are lazy so they would choose the easiest way -- you choose the harder way and your chances will be better :).

Undergraduate / SUNY or Common App which is better ? [9]

If SUNY doesn't require an essay, what do they require?

Undergraduate / Obedient yet rebellious, disciplined, unruly; this person influenced me [25]


So are you only sometimes honest? I think using such cliche phrases is not a good idea in the academic world...

Essays / Grad School Personal statem. in Childhood Education Major; from art to education [9]

Why not focus on what you can do best as a general education student and yes - explain what positive things you brought from your previous classes.

Undergraduate / 'girl from a foreign country had impact' - harvard common app [26]

It's good, not sure about the word count though. Check your requirements. I like how you gather the reader's attention with a quote/question in the first paragraph.

Undergraduate / "Is that shadow mine?" UC #2... [3]

What is the prompt or thesis statement??

Undergraduate / "right now is my second chance" - UC Prompt #2 [3]

I think you should state more clearly in the first two paragraphs what you're trying to get accross; after reading the first 2 paragraphs I still didn't know what you were up to. State in one clear sentence what you're going to focus on later in the text. Other than that, it reads nicely, I like the flow.

Undergraduate / The love for politics was planted in me at a young age but did not have the opportunity to sprout [10]

Why do you focus on literature in the last sentence? Last sentence should nicely wrap up the thesis statement (related to politics).

Dissertations / A completed literature review with a thesis proposal? [8]

Thank you, that helps a lot. I'll post more questions soon. I wanted to let you know my instructor appreciated my plan to do the literature review (and I followed your hints :).
