The Life and Thoughts of an Immigrant

Résumé du livre

Making America Better
Albert Wettstein knows about the American dream. He came here as an immigrant from Switzerland, at the age of nineteen, to pursue opportunities that didn't exist in post-World War II Europe, where times were hard and jobs were scarce. Canada, South America, and the United States were the only places to find work - so Albert took a chance, and came to the USA. Albert's life experiences had taught him to work hard, think positively, and be proactive about identifying and solving his own problems. These qualities allowed him to achieve a successful and comfortable life in America. But as Albert looks around, he is able to bring perspective to life in the United States: the perspective of an immigrant, who has made this country his home, but who sees the ways in which America needs to change. "The Life and Thoughts of an Immigrant" shares the wisdom of a well-lived life full of hard work and achievements. Albert gives his thoughts about the environment, the economy, crime, religion, the homeless, and other topics of humanitarian, ethical, and practical concern. Wouldn't it be wonderful, he asks, to make the greatest country in the world a hundred times better? With thoughtfulness and respect, Albert suggests that America can do anything if the government and the upcoming generation of young people put their minds to it. Learn from the rich and responsible life of Albert Wettstein, and see what a difference you can make to America.
