Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

Charitable organizations established within immigrant communities, often church affiliated, to provide financial assistance and other support to members of the communities.

Immigrant aid organizations played an important role in helping immigrants to establish themselves in the United States. Not only have they offered muchneeded financial assistance to immigrants, many of whom have been employed in lowwage jobs, but they also have given immigrants a sense of belonging and created a sense of home by providing social activities and traditional holiday celebrations.

During the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, the vast majority of immigrants coming to the United States from Europe, Latin America, and Asia were poor working-class individuals who came seeking economic opportunities and better lives for themselves and their families. Farmers, laborers, and tradespeople who have lacked formal educations have found themselves in a new country in which customs are different, working conditions are often far from ideal, and the legal system is unfamiliar. The situation of new immigrants has been made more difficult by the fact many do not speak English when they arrive, and they have missed the cultural ambiance that they had left in their native lands.

Within the various ethnic communities or groups, organizations were soon formed to help individuals through both financial assistance and moral support. Early organizations helped those in their group who were ill and in need of medical care and those who were at times unable to find work and provide for their families. The concept of self-help was a major part of these organizations.  

Ethnic-Based Organizations

The first immigrant aid organization formed in the United States was the Charitable Irish Association of Boston, which was founded in 1737. Originally, its members had to be Irish Protestants, or of Irish ancestry, and had to live in Boston. However, by 1742, the majority of the members were Irish Catholics living in Boston. The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) formed organizations to aid Irish Catholic immigrants in almost all the areas of the United States in which Irish immigrants settled. The Hibernians were present in New York City, in Savannah, Georgia, and in Philadelphia.

The AOH was also active in the anthracite coal-mining region of Pennsylvania where it was purported to be associated with the Molly Maguires, a militant Irish Catholic mineworkers group that attempted to improve their working conditions by the use of intimidation and force. While members of the Molly Maguires were also members of the AOH, the latter organization itself eschewed violence, was benevolent, and provided financial assistance to members who were ill or impoverished.

The large Mexican immigrant population that was first located in the southwestern United States brought with it from Mexico a strong sense of community. El pueblo, the place where one lives, had a major significance in the Mexican mindset.  

Community aid organizations known as mutualistas were a part of the culture of their homeland. The membership of the mutualistas, which have remained very active into the twenty-first century, has varied and continues to do.

Members have included Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and non-Mexicans. The mutualistas provide not only financial assistance and traditional social activities but also support to members who experience workplace or political discrimination.

The Italian immigrants who came to the United States also created mutual aid organizations to provide financial assistance to the ill and impoverished. However, unlike the Irish, who emphasized nationality and religion, and the Mexicans, for whom el pueblo, or the community, was most important, the Italians established their societies on a narrower base. Their organizations based membership either on the families to which members belonged or the regions of Italy from which the immigrants came.

Other Immigrant Organizations

The mutual aid organizations established by the vast number of Chinese immigrants brought to the California area as laborers in the gold mines and for railroad construction were even more complex in their determination of membership. However, they also reflected the traditions and culture of the home country.  

Membership in the huikuan or huiguan was open to all those speaking the same dialect, coming from the same district, or belonging to the same ethnic group. Other European groups such as the Belgians, Germans, and Poles also established aid organizations based on nationality.

IgorC [24]
1. Prince Bandar is a politician hailing from Saudi Arabia. He was an important international politician as he served first as the Saudi Arabian ambassador in the United States and later he served in the United Nations Security Council as the secretary general. He was also a controversial figure for his suspected misconduct which included using the state money for personal use.
2.That would be the BEA Systems at the time was known as British Aerospace before it was bought and merged with several different companies to form BEA Systems. BEA Systems is a massive company which specializes in aerospace and defense contracts that is based in London.
3. The event in the US that changed the laws about the bribery occurred in 1970s and it is known as the Watergate scandal and it was a catalyst for many investigations about the conduct of the government officials and the companies. The investigation found that many companies bribed officials oversees. About 500 companies admitted to resorting to this kind of activities.
4. The law changed because the <span>Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was passed in 1977. This act was a direct response to the practices of bribing foreign officials in order to gain advantage over the competition. The act especially forbade companies and their supervisors to engage in any kind of activity that would interfere and influence officials of foreign countries by giving them money or personal favors.This law hurt many companies that operated around the world and not just in the US. As always there are those who ignored the law.
5. The anti-bribery act was being enforced in Britain and made the making of Bribes there illegal. Unfortunately,  this is a hard act to enforce and many companies to this day are bribing officials in order to get business.  The act only made them be more careful in order to avoid prosecution and not get caught.
6. The investigators found that nearly 2 billion US dollars from the arms deal between the BEA Systems and the Saudi Arabia somehow disappeared and was later found to be in the US. The money was allegedly transferred to US and deposited on two different Saudi Arabian accounts that belong the their embassy in the US.
7. Saudi Arabia reacted as you might have expected, that is poorly. They were not cooperative at all and they on some accounts threatened the investigators and also threatened to stop cooperating fully. The investigation found that the expenses were filed as "support services" as the investigation came to a halt. Whether the payments were legal is still a matter of debate as it depends on certain timelines and whether they continued after bribing of officials was made illegal.

shtirl [24]
The correct answer is B) Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act

This historic legislation was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. The goal of this law was to ensure fair treatment in the marketplace for African-American citizens, women, and several other groups of people in American society. This law still affects American society today, as generally businesses with more than 15 employees are still bound by law to follow this act.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Germany had a nature for racism

Explanation:

The biggest difference was the strictly racist nature of German Nazism. Though heavily nationalistic and despite Mussolini ultimately introducing anti-Jewish laws to follow Hitler's lead, Italian Fascism was never principally racist.
