  4. “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.“"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"” cries sheWith silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

  5. Thoughts to consider: • What is your interpretation of the “American Dream”? • How does it compare to our original founders? • If there are limited resources, does “getting mine” mean that someone does not get theirs? • Ethics vs. Efficiency- Where do you stand in this debate? What do you use as your compass to take this stance?
