The Composition of American Population

The current population of America is 307,159,987. It is growing and growing at a decent pace. You can imagine when I say the birth rate is too high, and there is a birth in every 7 seconds. It would say (despite of my Irish roots) it could be because of immigrants. They come for education, jobs and in search of business opportunities. The population might eventually come close to being under control and more people may get better job opportunities and further education. For example, the students in university from USA, like myself, have better chances for job opportunities and better education.

There is a growing discussion about the immigrants or the foreign born nationals in America after the polls. The Blacks, Hispanics, Caucasians, Asians and people from middle-east, there are many races or sections of people who are in US making it a true modern nation, which give fair chance to everyone irrespective of their nativity and race.

Art Groups Hit Hard By the Economic Downturn

Arts are always secondary for the people and this is the one, which easily gets affected if there are any economic issues.

The economic downturn has affected the Arts group, which made them short in the strength of numbers - forming alliances, pooling resources, networking and accommodating one another’s diminished circumstances.

The economic issues caused artists to work together, which makes them to be supportive to one another. Artists need to put in their efforts to be creative in these tough times. Sometimes bringing together all the arts groups, does not really work out. But this kind of atmosphere causes a kind of motivation, which becomes a kind of cooperation that works for both artists’ benefit and also the public.

Almost all the Arts groups with no profits have become the victims of loss in their endowments and had to start the efforts to cope up with situation.
