Part 2: A Different Mirror [Chapter 1]

Rather than an unfolding, sanitized look at America’s historical past leading to its present in terms of ethnic diversity, Takaki takes the reader on a mini lecture-tour across time. In the chapter discussion he re-routes the audience to consider that the ideals and decisions of the U.S. forefathers (i.e. Thomas Jefferson) held the initial power and responsibility to establish the tone, power structure and belief of what evolved to become ‘American’ culture. Takaki agrees that the “narrow” focus “widely shared” is a generally accepted sense that an ‘American’ is a so-called designated ‘white’ person having descended from an Anglo Europe. The ...

Commentary:

- Consciousness is a much debated yet less known topic that has been debated by both science and philosophy. However most of our knowledge about consciousness stems from introspection and behaviour analysis. This paper helps us move away from the psychological intuitions of consciousness.
- Through well-designed examples, the author allows us to understand that we cannot be the judge of our own consciousness.
- We may think that we see the full picture but our consciousness consists of a small fraction of what is actually in front of us. This theory is well explained ...

Color is among the most influential elements and has tremendous expressive qualities. Photographers and artists are aware of the importance of using contrasts to create different feelings. For example, the low contrast image ‘Terminal c, 1892’ is used to welcome the viewer to the pre-industrial ages of the town.
Value implies to the relative lightness or darkness of a surface. For example, navy represents the dark value of blue. It is significant to master the use of color in design and fine arts. Any color can be described on the basis of its value and hue. Value is an ...

Teaching is one of the most challenging professions in the world. This is so because as a teacher, one gets to interact with a variety of personalities in one setting and therefore has got to devise mechanisms of identifying these personalities and addressing each individual personality according to their own needs and wants. A class of thirty students will comprise of thirty different personalities and it is the role of the teacher to address these student’s personalities without excluding any. Identifying the student’s strengths and weaknesses therefore is the most important thing to do. In order to meet the ...

The article relates to the discriminatory culture that was pervasive in the American society and the newly founded way of life that seeks to overlook racial facets. The author ably argues that the perceived more civilized culture has somehow succeeded in eradicating discriminative tendencies based on ethnicity. However the article appreciates the fact that although through the not long adapted c culture the American society has managed to progress by achieving considerable equality in most spheres of life, the same has also advantaged the white. The foregoing further denotes the author’s main thesis.

Question one

Racism is an aspect that has become part and parcel of our daily lives today. People view the world regarding the aspect of race. Racism is what differentiates the people into categories: Black, white, Asian, and others. The way people view and take each other is what affects the various aspects of their daily lives, that is, the job place, kind of friends, schools to attend, as well as money people makes. All these aspects are affected by the one social construction that is the race.
The power of illusion documentary series shows how racism has gone a greater ...

Q1
The independent variable was the color information while the dependent variable was attention attraction. Both variables are of nominal level, i.e. the variation of color information or attraction of attention does not vary upon the change of the color or the person to whom they attract attention.
Q2
The research was subjective, especially in treating RTs (reaction times) above 1500 ms as misses and 300 ms as anticipatory. There is no proper control or a basis upon which the researcher sets this criterion of exclusion. Besides, there is no background check of the participant to analyze if they ...

Van Gogh, 1889

The physical effect of the painting The Starry Night demonstrates the use of colors to depict the atmosphere of the dark night much before sunrise. It is evident that the dark colors make a contrast to the shiny stars because the night is starry. There is a big full moon which suggests that night it still. There are different shades of blue which cane be detected by the eye as it wanders around the painting. However, the influence on the soul is such that observing this painting makes a person serene and at peace with themselves. The whole universe ...

Stephen Shore has a variety of different works to consider with a number of different subjects. As I was looking through some of the images in “The Nature of Photographs,” I wondered to myself if the photographs would have the same impact if they were in black and white instead of color or color instead of black and white, depending on the photo. Color is often used in photographs because that is what we see in real life. However, the first photographs were in black and white. Now that it is an option, it becomes a part of the ...

It’s not easy to know what is true for you or me

at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I’m what
I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you:
hear you, hear me---we two---you, me talk on this page.
(I hear New York too.) Me---who?

Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.

I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I like a pipe for a Christmas present,
or records---Bessie, bop, or Bach.
I guess being colored doesn’t make me NOT like
the same things other folks like who are other races.

So will my page be colored that I write?

Being me, it will not be white.

Citation 10 -- “Visual Search”

2. Goal of article: State the research questions and/or hypotheses being investigated (What are they trying to do?) (Four sentences to one paragraph)
The researchers in this study wanted to determine the factors that determine an individual’s visual search. The researchers were specifically interested in determining whether individuals register the things they see as a whole and then separate each feature into its component parts or whether visual search is perceptual hence everything that comes into the view is registered in the mind before we become aware of them. Several paradigms were tested in the study, including texture ...

We are living in a fast paced world that at times brings a toll into our ability to stay still and find silence. Yes, silence is a powerful tool for artists because it allows them to internalize with their self and their environment. Their creativity is dependent on their ability to visualize amidst the chaotic noises of civilization. Cheryl Hooks works are constant reminders of the endless possibilities provided by serenity. Her works like Megan in Italy and Fish Pond, Marm Family Home shows the gentle flow of colors through her canvas. The colors used in the masterpieces appear to be flowing. ...

Despite the fact that clear guidelines on authorship of scientific papers have been published by the International Committee of Journal Editors, short term contract research workers are still disadvantaged in terms of career progression, rewards, and recognition. This happens even though these short-term contract workers are the ones that do most of the researches reported in the biomedical literature. This importance of short term researchers has led to the establishment of mechanisms that seek to improve their plight and solve their issues.
This text explores the different issues associated with the assignment of authorship. These issues include professional issues, ...

The following review describes the constituents of the legume seed coat and their respective roles in dormancy and other stages of seed development. The review also highlights ...

Discrimination can no longer be eliminated in all the systems in the world because some needs it and some wants it to be done. Since the ancient years, it is possible that there is already billions of both resolved and unresolved cases of discrimination that have been filed in different courts, not counting yet the discriminations that has happened but not spoken of.
It is the form of isolation and treatment to any group of people most especially to those who are deviant to the society. Some of these groups fall under the categories of sex, religion, physical ...

Reaction To Stranger In The Village

Racism has been an issue in the past and is still prevailant in many parts of the world. It is sad to think that even with access to all this information, even with human rights and even with knowledge of other cultures through technology, people still choose to be ignorant and racist. Baldwin is an African American who visits Switzerland during the 50s. This was the time when men and women of color had rights in America. He visits a small village which he describes as somewhat backwater. “people are trapped in history and history is trapped in them”. This ...

1. Design an integrated brand development communication programme for Taris that incorporates name, logo, symbols, and colour. If you cannot draw a label, just describe it, like brand name, background colour, other brand elements, etc.

The name of the new Taris brand should communicate both the characteristics of the oil and its health benefits, while being easily understandable for the American users. The name “Green Olive” is both simple and reveals the essence of the product. The word “green” in the name implicitly suggests that the product is both natural and supports a healthy lifestyle. The logo of the brand should ...

Pink Pork

Most top chefs and some scientists breathed a sigh of relief when the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that pink pork is safe for human consumption. For years, they have been urging the USDA body to declare that pink pork is safe in vain (Cevallos, 2011).
Previously people have viewed the pink color of pork with skepticism for they associated it with undercooking. With the recent announcement, the lovers of this rare meat do not have to worry about the pink color anymore. The color issues came about when USDA lowered the safe temperatures of cooking pork. Initially ...

While taking a closer look at Buck’s (2007) and Davis’s (1983) articles, I concluded the main theme in both papers to be how women of colour not only face sexism but also racism in western cultures, specifically the U.S. These articles address the development of the women’s movement in America and show how sex is always placed ahead of, and to the exclusion of, race when it comes to feminism. Both writers take the stance that women of colour never had a chance to be a viable part of the fight for women’s rights as ...

The point of peer reviews is to work together to locate what these papers are trying to say and then give informed, respectful suggestions to help the writer say it more clearly.

1.) What is the thesis claim or question? Is this argument claim arguable (as in, could someone disagree with it)? Is the case claim interesting (in other words, does the thesis claim challenge or shed new light on the “ ...

Jonathan Simon writes this article with an aim of ending mass incarceration that was rampant during his time. Simon believes that mass incarceration leads to both torture and degradation of human dignity. However, modern correctionalism and the likes of rehabilitation curbs the problem associated with mass imprisonment, providing a more decent place for prisoners. Some institutions may fail to embrace human dignity, but the emergence of Red Cross in 1860 showed concern for humanity that everyone wanted. Prisoners from California are tortured, but only a few people know it, but the majority believes that prisoners suffer less than the ...

Racial prejudice and discrimination are issues that have occupied American social circles for the last four centuries that this nation has been in existence.

Art is the most powerful tool in human history. The power of art in education and information is explicit in the works of literature. In the article "The other history of cultural performance", Coco Fuco presents an exemplary masterpiece in blueprint that provides an insight on the cultural barriers along the racial lines. His argument majorly dwells on the vice of the western cultural stereotype that undermines and disregard the performance of the blacks. Such a prejudice is very prominent in the Euro-American cultures. The whites perceive themselves as the natural right and superior beings. They are not only ...

"Race, Employment Discrimination, and State Complicity in Wartime Canada, 1939-1945" offers an in-depth overview of Canada's racial and employment discriminations during the WW II period. The article is authored by Carmela Patrias. She illustrates how employers during the period discriminated against minorities on account of their foreign names, language, religion, and color irrespective of their qualifications and the severe labor shortage experienced at the time (Patrias, 2007).
The classification of the minorities was implicitly aided by the Canadian state through its census. Ultimately, this classification had the effect of allowing Anglo-Canadians to discriminate against the minorities. That occurred despite ...

1939-1945
1939-1945
In the article “Race, Employment Discrimination, and State Complicity in Wartime Canada, 1939-1945” Carmela Patrias explores the employment discrimination of minority groups during the World War II in Canada, focusing on lives of people of Japanese, African and European heritage, as well as Jews and Native people. Even though in times of war minority groups represented a great source of labor, racial difference was a significant factor to disqualify a person from working in war industries. The author describes different assumptions about “foreigners” - minority groups, that lead to social and economic inequality, as well as consequences ...

What is the name of the article you read and who is the author?
The name of the article is “Is Diet Soda Girly?” and the author is Libby Copeland.
Summarize the thesis or primary claim of the article.
In this article the author describes the gender division in marketing. Many marketing companies produce gender-specific products. Many of these products attract consumers’ attention because of colors (e.g. pink for women and blue for men) and trigger words (e.g. “Be a man. Use *** shampoo” and so on). So, women do not buy things ‘for men’, and men also do not ...

In the study conducted by authors Alex B. Van Zant and Laura J. Kray, they explored on the concept of truthfulness and honesty. In the study, the researchers stated their objective as attempting to limit the incidence by which people lie. They hypothesized that lying and deception can be averted if face-to-face interaction can instigate moral concern as with the other forms of communication. Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...

Response Paper

In his paper, Notes of a Painter, Henri Matisse presents the idea that art should be able to speak for itself and should present itself, in a way, that a context is not mandatory to appreciate the art piece. He says that expression does not lie in passionate human face or violent movements. He believes the entire setting in a picture is expressive and everything plays its role in projecting the image of the artwork. So if something is not useful in a picture, it obviously means that it is harmful. He believes that expression lies in the very composition of the picture too, ...

Erick Swenson lives in a totally different and advanced age than Jean Watteau. With sophisticated material and knowledge, his Untitled stands out owing to the mathematical and creative skills employed to create the object. On the hand, Jean Watteau lived in the 18th Century when less quality material was available and the culture and demands of the public at the time, focused on exciting love stories rather than balance in the photo. Art that involved humans attracted more attention as they identified the object with their myths and beliefs (Warren, 3). Both Frenchwoman Jean and American Swenson artists ...

The article’s topic talks about ways in which multiple traits undergo adaptive evolution using multiple mutations at a single gene. This is an important topic because different scientists have been coming up with varying theories regarding adaptive evolution. For example, Darwin claimed that adaptation only happens in the presence of slight successive variations. In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, Larson, Jensen & ...

Thesis statement

I chose these two similar articles because their topic revolves around the oppression of the African-Americans due to their skin color. The authors have written about how this vice has been the most difficult and challenging to eliminate in the United States. The article will be about racism and how it has hindered development in the west. Racism has been one of the most challenging evils faced by human kind. The racial difference among human beings is the reason for dominance among religions or certain ethnic groups. It denotes oppression, atrocities, and prejudice against the dominated group which were ...

Safety: Another pressing issue is that of the presence of animals in the lifeboat at the beginning of Pi’s journey. It emphasizes on the need to reach a certain level of security so that Pi would reach land unharmed.
Love/Belonging: The scene where Santosh (Pi’s father) taught his sons fear of animalsby showing them a grotesque scene where the tiger Mahisha eats a goat. It can be seen as a form of tough love where the father is simply showing his concern and worry for his children.

In the entitled “white privilege: Unpacking the invisible Knapsack”, Maclntosh identifies the invisible advantages that the social system confers to the white population and other groups in the hierarchies. She likens this form of inequality in privileges to the kind of discrimination and inequality that exist between the male and female gender. According to Maclntosh, discrimination against women by men is a result of both individual denial by men to recognize the fact they are over privileged and the cultural setting in which the society teaches men not to recognize such inequalities and discrimination.
Maclntosh points out that through ...

Deviant Bodies

The issue of deviant bodies has been a contentious issue for quite some time now in the contemporary society and especially in the American society. There have been several studies attempting to describe the ideal body of both males and females. Emphasis though has been on what the ideal woman’s body in the American society should look like in terms of skin color and body size (Terry & Urla, 1995).
Deviant bodies can be described as those bodies which deviate from the norms set forth by the society. For instance according to deviant bodies, critical perspectives on difference ...
