Black and Female Reflections on Graduation School by bell hooks, it is clear that black female students, particularly her, had to deal with racial prejudice throughout their college life. From the essay, it is clear that white professors made life difficult for the black female students to such an extent they would ignore them in class and give discriminatory comments in class.

The worst was yet to come because finding ...

Article Review

According to research, racism is not a thing of the past, but is rampant even now, in today’s society. It is a widespread problem that seemingly stems from the belief that black or African-American males are more aggressive than their white counterparts. The article “Is everyone a little bit racist,” by Michael Kristoff, delves into the intricacies of racial biases by citing a few examples and outlining a few studies that were conducted into the issue. It shows empirical evidence by way of researches and tests that were done, by a wide cross-section that determined that racism is still alive and well.

Introduction

The US racial hierarchal system used to only demarcate the white/black color line. However, as more and more racially diverse populations migrate to the United States, the racial hierarchal system in the US adapts new ways to emphasize racial differences between whites and “others”. Guenther, Pendaz and Makene’s research about the intersections of identity of Eastern African immigrants and its impact on their racial status in the US present how racism in the United States continue to persist and grow to accommodate more and more ways to assert whites and degrade non-whites. Furthermore, the paper explores personal encounters ...

How would you characterize the current decision-making process?

The decision-making process is ineffective and irrational. The poor decision-making process is the cause of the dilemma at the organization. The meetings held by departmental managers are contentious because they are full of anger and blame. The managers fail to agree concerning the right decision to implement. Man team members lack an opportunity to express their views thus they are forced to accept decisions imposed by the officials. Emma makes a go/no-go decision, and this thwarts the decision-making process at the organization. The communication process between the top executives is inadequate. There is a lack of real leadership during the decision-making ...

Every child goes through developmental stages. According to Kyla Boyse, RN (2013) in her article “Developmental Milestones, University of Michigan Health Systems, “Child development refers to how a child becomes able to do more complex things as they get older.” This process of development involves cognitive development, social and emotional development, speech and language development and learning and mastering fine motor skills. Between the ages of 6 to 12 a child is expected to have developed strong physical, emotional and mental abilities.

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 ...

Analysis on terrorism

Introduction
There have been several views on terrorism. However, research on terrorism differs from the standard social science research. As one is dealing with underground organizations, often there is little or incomplete data. Terrorism is like a war in the shadows that creates massive publicity. For the majority of researchers, it can be dangerous to do investigative research in danger zones, and therefore, majority of the research is carried out on the basis of reports released by the government and media news stories. Research on terrorism has more often been criticized as it is believed that most of the ...

Victims and the Media/ Harold and Kumar/ Article Review

In today’s media crazed world, it can sometimes be difficult to identify the victim in a crisis. Through images on television, the internet, and even or cell phones, we are exposed to too many ideas that appeal to our inner ideals of who the victim may be. The greatest example, of course, is the September 11 attacks. The media scrutinized Muslims, Indians, and anybody else who fit the ideation of the terrorists who launched planes into the WTC towers. That was until the American public and many around the world were sure that the entire Middle Eastern population at ...

Tal Fortgang`s article “Checking My Privlidge” is about white people being discriminated against because they have many privlidges due to the history of their power. He writes of those who use his privilege against him in speech that, “I do condemn them for diminishing everything I have personally accomplished.” This seems a simple statement. Who exactly is diminishing everything that he has accomplished? I do not believe that this is happening. It seems that Fortgang is upset because while not everyone is equal in the history of mankind, and even today, he wants the world to pretend that everyone ...

- Summary
Blumenfeld, having been gay himself, takes a look at homophobia from a critical perspective in as much he runs into the risk of holding and expressing biased opinion on the matter that has since become a common feature in debates especially in his home country, the United States. The writer expresses his reservation in the manner in which homophobia is being propagated by those who feel threatened by it. He also speaks to the fact that many are probably missing out on the ignored opportunities that present themselves during this time. Blumenfeld talks of the nature of the social ...

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. argues in his article War of Words: Critical Race Theory and the First Amendment that there exists a tension between civil rights and civil liberties with specific emphasis on the freedom of speech and hate speech or freedom from expression. In the description for fighting words and group defamation with the citation of court decisions in 1942 and 1952, Gates explains that fighting words refer to the words used in their very utterances to inflict injury or tend to initiate an immediate breach of peace. He additionally describes group defamation as designed to prohibit public expression ...

In an intuitive investigation, Christiane Wilke seeks to reevaluate the significance of memorials in a multifaceted manner. His pursuit is hinged on getting the answers to three questions which revolve around the impact that memorials should have on us; with the ultimate goal of initiating a conversation around transitional justice and the need to incorporate theories of complex identities while ascribing specific relevance to memorials. His research is aimed at providing relevant evidence about the need to be cautious when setting up memorials because more often, their defined purpose ignores the existence of overlapping and congruent scenarios leading to their installation. ...

Ethics in Counseling
Ethics is paramount in all aspects of professional and personal life. However, on the subject of counseling in which a professional interventionist would interact in close proximity with the client’s personal life, ethics is like a golden currency. In the article by LeBeauf et al. (2009), ethics was explored under the concept of multicultural discourse. This is where counseling adopts the diversity in client’s culture and the approach that counselors need to practice in dealing with a variety of clients. There are cases in which counselors defy the ethical values of their profession in favor of ...

In his article “Causes of Prejudice”, Vincent N. Parrillo examines different causes of social, racial and psychological prejudice. There is no one way to view prejudice that can stem from a number of places. This article looks carefully at the psychological and sociological reasons for prejudice, both of which contribute to our understanding of prejudice. Under the larger category of “The Psychology of Prejudice”, Parrillo studies the cognitive, emotional and action-orientation levels of prejudice, self-justification, personality and frustration (pp 578-580). In his section on “The Sociology of Prejudice”, he explores different elements of prejudice as the result of socialization, of ...

Social perception gives people the ability to predict what others are thinking or feeling and the ability to understand the motivations of others. However, social perceptions can be considered inaccurate in most cases because personal beliefs, expectations, and ambiguous messages received from others can impact their accuracy. Recent neurological research proved that all people have the ability to perceive correct information from targets, but that research did not focus on internal psychological factors that can distort or neglect those perceptions.
According to various researchers, personal beliefs can distort social perceptions and make them inaccurate. Self-serving bias and personal ...

According to Milgram’s (1963) findings authorities have substantial power over individuals, and his findings can explain the nature of the holocaust as a consequence of enforced obedience. Blass (1999) argues that obedience rates have not declined since the original experiment, so any attempt to reproduce the experiment will probably result in similar findings. While moral convictions change over time, obedience remains consistent, so it is possible to conclude that people lose their moral convictions and personal decision-making abilities once they are exposed to pressure from the authorities.
The experiment was repeated several times in different societies with different ...

I believe that Martin Luther King’s speeches are more convincing because his use of logic appeals to a wider audience. He also makes convincing arguments that appeal to the emotions and logic of everyone not only those that are religious. Malcolm X’s speeches also convince the audience effectively but use far more confusing logos and many more emotive words. Martin Luther King seems to be able to make arguments more succinctly.
Malcolm X is a well known black preacher and activist and makes strong moral arguments in his speech. He has a vested interest in changing things due to his ...

The first article focuses on the basic legal rights stipulated in the civil rights section of the AFL-CIO website. These rights assure workers of healthy and safe environmental conditions at their workplace. However, these civil rights have been violated often as companies seek to maximize profits rather than care about their employees. The example of A.E. Staley is proof of how employees are mistreated by managers who are only focused on profit making.
The article also focuses on the plight of workers of African American and Latino descent. These employees have faced mistreatment ad discrimination ever since. African ...

What was the general purpose of the study (hypotheses)?

The general purpose of the study on Mark of a Criminal Record is to analyze the manners in which the criminal records affect the information of employers while hiring employees, and the extent to which it affects it. This research believes that this is imperative because many people have been assuming that criminal records have no impact on decisions made by employers. This is because they believe that employers focus on the interactional skills and other characteristics that they can observe. Therefore, the aim of the research is to identify the degree to which employers apply criminal history without collaborating ...

Application of radiofrequency (RF) is becoming increasingly common in the development of medical therapies. One of the main concerns is the possibility for unwanted side effects. In this regard, temperature effects are perhaps the most commonly described. These effects are mainly attributed to the absorption of the RF field by human tissues. Estimating experimentally the impact of ...

The government agencies had incentives to act as they did including the benefit of receiving massive credit for being the only organization that helped the post-Katrina victims. The government would also receive the benefit of a great opportunity to publicize to the citizens the good deeds they were doing to the post-Katrina victims. Another incentive is that the government was not ready to incur the cost of having other people in charge example the Red Cross and church organizations. They hold responsibility for maintaining order, they can arrest or even kill someone in circumstances surrounding the rescue, but a representative of ...

Surveys conducted on a sample of American citizens indicate that around two-thirds of American citizens are obese or overweight. Health organizations and medical practitioners play critical role in advising victims on how to control their weight or treat these conditions if they were detected. Reluctance by medical practitioners on the condition is one of the main causes of the increased spread of obesity among citizens.

The research was conducted among the right people. The sample included practitioners as well as other members of the nation from the New Jersey Academy. The survey was conducted under intensive supervision by the Institutional ...

1-Identify the impact of this incident on both the MNE and the host country?

For the host country, the Union Carbide disaster exposed the inability and the ineffectiveness of the government in dealing with the disaster. The Indian government suffered humiliation due to western capital. It also reminded the world that India was still struggling to provide basic amenities to its huge 1.2 billion people, despite its ambitions of becoming a super power. Taken by public anger at the lenient charges, the government was forced to take damage control measures. Comparisons were also drawn with the US government’s handling of the BP Oil spill, where it went all out to make the company ...

Batson's grand jury DNA

Batson's grand jury DNA is an article that is intended to show that the defendants have no right to petition the court just because all the judges in a certain case come from a different race from the race any party in the case comes from. The aim of the author was to show that there was unfairness in the case of Batson V Kentucky. However, the constitution does not allow defendants to petition the jury because it did not constitute any member from a race one of the parties to the case belongs. The court is to decide on the judges ...

It is hardly possible to define prejudice in a unique and a comprehensive way that would reflect the whole complexity of the issue. Crandall & Eshleman (2003) in their article “A Justification–Suppression Model of the Expression and Experience of Prejudice” describe prejudice as a negative assessment of an individual or a social group that is based on belonging to certain groups and communities. The authors do not characterize this evaluation as rational or irrational as it is not possible to find an objective measure of rationality. Moreover, Crandall & Eshleman also acknowledge the existence of a “positive prejudice”, however, this concept is outside ...

James Holmes has been indicted of opening fire in a teemed theater at a midnight showing of the Batman movie on July 20th, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others. The rage of the attack, setting and sheer magnitude was more than any other in the country’s history. This encounter shocked even a nation largely habituated to random flare-ups of violence. After the shooting spree, 12 people were confirmed dead and more than fifty hospitalized with diverse scales of injuries.
The victims of the shooting incident who were successfully identified included Jon Blunk, Sgt. Jesse Childress of the Air Force ...

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 ...

More often than not, hate crimes often lead to much suffering for the victims and their families. This was the case after the Tulsa killings as described by Fernandez. The victims’ families felt that the acts were not justified and that the perpetrators needed to face judgment (Fernandez 3). In their moment of grief, they felt that the culprits had targeted helpless, innocent people who might not have been famous, but who were valuable to their families. The killers did not know their victims, and if only they knew who they were, they probably would not have committed the ...

Victims of domestic violence usually experience both physical and emotional distress.

The physical violence she experienced could have caused her intense fear, panic, and anxieties. This made her rush and seek help at the neighbor’s house.

This article leads to the current study about the prevalence of Dyslexia in the United States. Though this article builds on prior hypothesis that have been conducted, this research does not devise a new methodology in being able to come up with original findings. This means that both the empirical and normative values that have been stressed by this research are based on the values and bias that had been witnessed in prior research. In terms of the argument that this research makes, it is clear that the author has a clear hypothesis that personal factors are among the key reasons ...

Monteith and Winters’s article, “Why We Hate,” provides interesting perspectives into why prejudice exists and what can be done about it. If a person speaking to me told me claimed they were not prejudiced, I would be inclined to doubt their claim because, as the article says, people in general have a tendency to “quickly divide the world into ‘us’ and ‘them’” (Monteith and Winters 48). However, I do not think it would be useful to simply respond by saying, “Of course you’re prejudiced, everybody has prejudices.” Rather, I might ask them, “Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?” When ...

In her story, Sherri Brunsvold reflects upon her experience of losing her husband.

It seems that Brunsvold found a great deal of comfort through counselling and other forms of group therapy, especially among other Christian people. She comments on how she did not feel hatred towards the man who killed her husband. However, that could ...

Different news stations often report the same story (or stories related to one another) in very different ways.

Following the success of similar protests in neighbour countries, Egypt and Tunisia, Libya is fighting for its freedom from a man who shows no qualms in using force to supress his people, even now when the world is watching. ...

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.
