With the new U.S. policy focus on trade with Latin America and with more and more businesses using labor abroad, labor conditions in maquiladoras will be a growing human rights issue. At the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), I have been able to write letters to the USTR pushing for the continued review of the Generalized System of Preferences in Guatemala, to the President of El Salvador to encourage the enforcement of their labor codes, and lobbied for a labor petitioning amendment to the Caribbean Basin Trade Security Act.
A law degree would give me a tool to continue to work effectively and realistically on this and other issues that contribute to the well-being of people affected by U.S. policies and investments in Latin America.
三、比较与对比法
与利用直接经验相反,有些申请者把他们自己的经验和对研究生所要求的技能进行比较。在这种情况下,他们可以选择“比较与对比”结构。例3这位 申请人用了这一结构,他集中论述一本书对他的学习方法的影响。这一结构还可通过变化之前的你与现在的你的对比来说明你生活中的一个变化。
例3: Influence of Book
注意:为了教学目的,该文发表时未加修改。
"How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book." (Thoreau) One evening, during Christmas vacation of my freshman year in college, when a formidable storm outside called for an evening of hot tea and heavy reading, I picked up a book that had been sitting on my desk for several weeks. On the cover, it read "Selections of the Essays: Montaigne." On the inside, only a few circled page numbers evidenced that the book had ever been used.
四、时间顺序法
例4的申请人在其文章中先用规范结构写引言部分,然后再用时间顺序法。
