History of Immigration in America

The United States always had immigrants come to America.  When new immigrants would come to America, that new group was always discriminated.  At one point every ethnic group has been discriminated against.  People do not like certain ethnic groups because of their appearance, culture, and beliefs.  America has been discriminatory towards African-Americans, Irish, Muslims, Japanese, and a lot of others.  They all experienced stares, people ignoring them, and people not hire them.  These immigrants have helped America flourish into the country that it is today.

Geeks And Jocks

People express themselves by wearing clothes that represent their individuality.  For males, they can dress more athletic, or even geeky.  Jocks tend to wear their team jersey, or some form of athletic shirt with a pair of jeans.  Geeks tend to wear pants above their waist, suspenders, and a shirt with pockets for a pocket protector.  Saved By The Bell was a show that was about going thought high school. A.C. Slater was the jock that was the schools star athletic who got all the girls.  Samuel "Screech" Powers was geek that was nerdy, clumsy, and did not have as much luck as A.C. Slater. They were labeled based on their looks and not by personally. The geek wishes that he was more of a jock because they get more attention and popularity.  This does not only happen between geeks and jocks, this problem occurs often with many different styles between a male and female.
