“We must look at what immigration to America involves. To the new arrivals, the change is excruciating. Learning a new language and dealing with strange customs make the first years of life in the new land painful... The economic system of the United States is a mighty engine of persuasion. It motivates people to do what otherwise they never would in return for fulfilling their dreams. In the process, people learn that there is no sharp line between physical well-being and the higher purposes of life. The comfort of owning a house is at once meeting the obligation to care for one” PeopleYearsFirstsWellsLooksStatesDreamCareAmericaPurposeHouseLanguageProcessLinesUnitedUnited StatesEconomicLandStrangeReturnHigherComfortMeetingsPainfulImmigrationObligationWell BeingCustomsPurpose Of LifeEnginesFulfillingPersuasionArrivalsEconomic SystemsYears Of LifeHigher PurposeNew Arrivals Author:John Lachs
“Yet if anyone cares to read over the now crumbling minutes giving an account of the meetings at which the Italian Fasci di Combattimento were founded, he will find not a doctrine but a series of pointers...

“Parents who are stressed or disturbed will have more difficulty in meeting their children's needs. Parents who have little support--from friends, relatives, neighbors, or the community--are more likely to be overburdened by the demands of their babies and to be unable to respond to them adequately.

They theorize about it. As Ely Devons, an English economist, once said in a meeting: 'If economists wanted to study the horse, they wouldn't go around and look at horses. They'd sit in their studies and say to themselves, `What would I do if I were a horse?'
