For example, a woman who immigrated to the United States and had a child soon thereafter, will probably speak to her child in her native language. The mother and child will grow accustomed (comfortable)...

Recidivism is one of the main topics which go against the concept that it is best for the criminal justice system to adopt programs which are mainly intended to punish people. Prisons are of great importance to society, as they succeed in holding, punishing, and rehabilitating the persons that pose a threat
Upper-level managers may have to have a MBA, depending upon the nature of the organization. And some may have more unconventional majors and backgrounds, although business education of some sort is required.

This was usually the case with the proliferation of British rule at the time; trade was the predecessor to British Colonialism.
