Week 2 EOC: This Charming Man

There were many deeper meanings of the film "This Charming Man" showed not only how outliers are viewed in business, but in society as a whole as well as in love. In business most people were worried about immigrants taking their jobs, companies requiring hiring them and the people having to pay for immigrants living on the country’s welfare money.
In love people feel insecure in the sense that they believe that not only will these immigrants invade their place of work, but that they will also hurt or take away their women making men feel compelled to defend what they feel should rightfully belong to them. There are many examples of this is American society and abroad. With all of the changes that have been made in sharing knowledge and unity through out the world, there are still countless situations where immigration is frowned upon and not taken lightly by people native to the lands.
I would like to include the example of an issue that the United States is currently faced with in dealing with the U.S./Mexico border. This creates a large scale of difficulty considering that the United States depends on their cheap labor and has included them in the U.S. welfare system and community programs for so many years prior to today. The cultures have been intertwined in business, language, and many other aspects that can still be seen throughout the nation.
The film shows how immigrants are accepted by the government but not necessarily always by its people. Most countries go through some type of period where immigrants become too much of an issue to ignore and must facilitate them while the people themselves acclimate with themselves in an environment where they may not be looked upon kindly as people’s suspicions can grow wildly out of control.
