Sam Abuneer "Expectations of Life", By Christian Koriganowitz



Expectations of Life

I interviewed Sam Abuneer, my former co-worker whom i worked with in the food service industry for about 2 years. I met him when he had only been here for a month, as a visitor. He returned to his homeland for about half a year and is now back in the United States, applying for a work permit and eventually a citizenship. He is a first generation immigrant, who came for issues involving escaping corruption and striving for better living conditions and opportunity, currently residing in the Sunset District of San Francisco.

In the later half of the 20th century, many settlers moved from Europe to the United states due to political and personal reasons. In the US, they found that they were able to gain many opportunities, but still had to face all sorts of unfair regulation that suppressed their progression toward liberty. These days, the united states is no longer annexed to Britain, and has its own independent government. However, as much as the United States didn’t agree with the regulations of Britain, many of the laws it has today are highly influenced by this old connection. Based off the interview with my former coworker and documents about the about the 17th century, there were some strong connections between colonial and present times, over the issues of reasons for immigration, ideas of success, and suppressing regulations.
