This article provides a comprehensive review of the article by Lin (2002). This article addresses how media portrays racism and its influence to lifestyle and health. A sociological approach to the problem of racism is applied, arguing that the society needs to understand the different forms of racism, biological origin of racism, and its meaning in the society.

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 ...

Question 1

In the article What Is Internalized Racial Oppression And Why Don’t We Study It? Acknowledging Racism’s Hidden Injuries written by Karen D. Pyke, it becomes clear that internalized racism is neglected by society and it remains misunderstood. It is a factor that has led to racial inequality and if that taboo is defied then zoology will succeed in exposing the effects of racism. Internalized white racism affects all the other races that are deemed inferior and this affects every facet of life majorly on the social lives of many people. The author bases her argument on the responses ...

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 ...

In the article Katrina Shows Racial Divide in America, the author Jamal Watson, reintroduces the issues of racial inequality that exists in the USA. Watson uses the historical ladder to describe the position of African-Americans in the modern society. It seems that racial divide is under spotlight only when some natural disaster affects the population of African-Americans. In this article, the hurricane Katrina serves as an evidence of the racial disparity. Watson argues that the issues of African-Americans are not presented to the rest of the world fairly. According to Watson (2007), "In my experience, many people outside America ...

Judicial independence has been argued to be an abstract that can never be achieved. Legal jurists claim that the judiciary can never be independent of control of the executive, or the legislature provided that the justices are appointed by the politicians. The view is held across the judicial and political spectrum. As a consequence, twenty-one states in the United States of America have opted to elected justices of the Supreme Court. The election of the justices of the Supreme Court is can be contracted to the appointive system where the judges were appointed by the governor in the individual states. ...

Article Review: Equity Study In Canada: Race, class and gender paradigms in Canada
Complex societies like Canada had a variety of challenges in terms of race, gender, and class imbalance. Razack, 1990 explains the various paradigms that determine each factor in the course of action. This review draws from a variety of major theoretical orientations that define the art of true activism. Race being vital in this outlook determines a complete set of nuances rather than other values like societies, gender, and class. These elements provide major inequities of all times. There is a critical interlocking between the major activities and the ...

In Dalton’s article on Horatio Alger’s myth, the main point is that myths are not only false but also socially destructive. He puts forward this critical point through his objection of the fact that each individual has equal opportunities of prosperity in life. The main message of Horatio Alger in his myth is that with the existing social landscape, individual success solely lie in their hands, that what comes out as a persons achievement, fortune or misfortune is by choice and only depends on the effort they put. Cohn Powell, according to Dalton tries to conceal important social ...

Article Review

"The Great Divergence" and "Class in America,” the authors discuss that the class system and social stratification have caused outstanding differences in life of people living in America. Regardless of the fact that people do not like to talk about economic inequality in America, social classes play a considerable role in their lifestyle. There exists a huge difference in the incomes of the top 1% of Americans and rest of other 99%. Contrary to the myth that America is a classless society, Mantsios explains through statistical data that the wealthiest 20% of Americans hold the 83% of total wealth and on the ...

Q1. Bell hooks dilemma in Eating the other is expression of desire. She argues that imperial nostalgia and difference of the white male is shown through cultural appropriation and accommodation. This entails that the white male has desires for the exotic female (black minority) to get pleasure. She digs deep into consequences of different representations of ethnicity and race in a culture of white supremacy. Those that dominate the strata of culture are excited by the exotic nature of the other. By the other hook means any other race or ethnic group apart from the white supremacy who believes that ...

In his work, Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective, George M. Fredrickson mentions the ‘burden of otherness.’ It seems that he is refereeing to racial difference and how people who were not than White Americans were considered ‘others’ and are were stigmatised and discriminated against as a result. Decades ago in America, racial contact severely involved the Indians and Blacks, because the most clear difference between individuals, and groups, was whether or not they were white. Earlier than World War II, such a pecking order was similarly centred around immigrants, mainly Irish, and Protestant over Catholics, but following the ...

In his piece, Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective, George M. Fredrickson talks about the ‘burden of otherness.’ In this context, he refers to racial inequality and how anyone other than White Americans are ‘others’ and are therefore treated as such. Furthermore, they are made to feel like ‘others’ and this can have a massive impact on a person’s self-confidence and sense of identity. Historically in America, racial interaction intensely hindered the Indians and Blacks as the most obvious distinction between people was whether they were white or not white. Previous to World War II, this hierarchy was ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction

Jungle fever is a movie that focuses at on the setbacks to interracial relationship and dating. However jungle fever reviews the luminal space that join black Americans with whites rather than the issues hindering the progress of these relationships. Several reviewers have shown the inefficiency of the jungle fever and thus coming up with several limitations which include the wrong idea of black and white relationships that was shown by the playwright, the obvious scorn for incorporation, and thirdly the playwright was found to have used the wrong art.
In the effort to explore on the problem, Lee made a ...

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 ...

Based on this research article, there is no doubt about the need to reform the American health care system which at the moment is in tartars. Much of the debate on this health issue relates to concepts of quality, equality, concession to health care, and the amount of funds spent by the federal government in providing quality and effective health care (Crandall, et al, 2011). This study was conducted to confirm and ...

Multiculturalism is a subject that we're still trying to understand. The term multiculturalism refers to "a body of thought in political philosophy about the proper way to respond to cultural and religious diversity. Mere toleration of group difference is said to fall short of treating members of minority groups as equal citizens; recognition and positive accommodation of group differences are required through 'group-differentiated rights'" (Song, 2010). What seems clear through an analysis of these studies is that concepts of race, ethnicity, and culture support Gardner's concepts of multiple intelligences and refuse Spearman's ideas of general intelligence.

The issue of hate has circulated in the social arena for quite a long time as people seek to establish a solution to this issue. It has existed since time immemorial, and was the cause for the slave trade that led to the demeaning of the African people. The same hate has found its way into the modern world where there are various reports of people who have experienced the bitter ends of hate. All over the world, there had been crimes that were propagated by hate; the killing of Jews by Hitler and the anti-Semitism movements, the massacre in Rwanda ...

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.
In trying to authenticate ...

In Berk et al. (1995), the researchers investigate Americans' ability to access health care. The findings hypothesize that a more concrete definition of health care needs, including supplementary services like dental and mental health care, among others, is needed to find ways to improve access to needed services. The data set examined in this study included findings from the 1994 National Access of Care Survey, which included 75% ...

This was done to determine whether or not minorities have a greater likelihood of experiencing sexual harassment in the military.

According to the results, black women do not experience a higher degree of sexual harassment based on their race, but Hispanics and those of other races encounter varying degrees of ...

Analysis and response to H. Leon Prather's article "We Have Taken a City"

Leon Prather’s article “We have taken a city” is an essay about a race riot, which took place in Wilmington, North Carolina. This started when the Republicans, who were then not conservatives, merged with some white workers and farmers to ensure they had voted out the politicians who were conservatives, who are the Democrats. They intended to elect candidates who represented the entire African-American race. The Republicans mainly comprised of the African-American race. This move was a serious threat to the status quo that seemed to exist at that time and created a lot of fear among the conservatives. Therefore, the conservatives ...

Thesis

Years and years of racial discrimination have created the doubt that racial discrimination might not be the cause of the economic injustice.

In our society, crime is viewed as an act for which the criminal is solely responsible. In our modern justice system, the punishment meted out for criminal acts may correspond to the crime, but there are a number of significant, overlapping societal factors that cause the criminal behavior that results in punishment. The main cause of crime is the environmental background that had a powerful influence on the transition of law-abiding children to young adult offenders. Certainly, growing up in an environment of impoverished circumstances contributes to the high rate of criminal offenses in America. Race is another highly-significant factor that ...

Observing good ethics especially in public administration is essential in the modern society. Ethics inform individuals’ daily life decisions making providing them with standards for delineating between the right and wrong. Ethical societies promote coordination and transparency without deception. Ethics in public administration includes values such as loyalty, honesty, integrity, openness, fair-mindedness, respect and forthright communication. It involves defending, systematizing, and recommending notion of right and wrong behavior (Geuras & Garofalo, 2010). A successful public administration practitioner needs to make intelligent decisions on circumstances that present with ethical predicament. It is important to balance serving the best wellbeing for a client ...

Considering human rights as an issue without culture, diversity, and without complicated frameworks means it is about what it implies – "human" rights. In reality, the question arises why Western ideology of feminism exhibit so many gaps when it comes to the female of the human species. The Western feminist belief about human rights as a means for establishing a commonality among global women empowerment causes limitations in bridging gaps from a global perspective and consequently demands a new way of thinking.
Theorists on universalism and women's human rights including Grewal, Bunch, and Hua provide the textual dialogue for examining this predicament. Globally, ...

In this article, the Germany football team kicked up a controversy after some of its members refused to sing the country’s national anthem, The Song of Germans. The public, including football officials and former players thought that the team ought to sing to the anthem, despite the manager insisting that the players did identify with the team and their heritage was important. This occurred at a time when Germany had began re-asserting its national identity since World War II, which has however not been reflected in sports, with national teams losing players with foreign roots to other nations. ...

An Analysis of Richard Wright’s Blueprint for Negro Writing (1937)

An African-American literary icon, Richard Wright was born in 1908 and died in 1960 (Wallach; Wright, “Uncle Tom’s” 882). Growing up in America during the early 20th century, Wright witnessed the great oppression experienced by the African-American community in that time, instilling in him the strong desire to write for his race and struggles associated with racism in America (Wallach; Wright, “Uncle Tom’s” 882). Writing various literary pieces that talked about African-American oppression and strife for freedom and equality, Wright became a literary icon and a pride of ...

Introduction

I chose this article because it examines the fundamental issues in contemporary society. This is so because it examines the cultural ideologies that degrade the old age in society. These cultural norms are motivated by the media, which attribute the female body with consumer culture. Therefore, society should realize that aging is a sense of maturity and should embrace it as a Self-identities associated to the appearance and performance of the bodies. Similarly, aging should be based on feminist and gender ideologies because it cut across gender, race and class in various societies.

Summary

The article uses a feminist approach to explore aging ...

Martin Luther King gave great speeches in the 1960’s in America at a time of anti-discrimination on racial lines towards blacks, Asians and Hispanics. The famous speech I have a dream was given in 1963 at a time when there was great turbulence due to racial discrimination. He gave the speech to an audience of all races with majority of black and white people.

His speech I have a dream begins with a note of high positivism. It causes the crowd of people to be motivated about the changes that can happen in the future and not focus on the current happenings. He ...

In gender theory the concept of women as a unified, homogeneous group is challenged through the theory of intersectionality. This theory states that the status of being female is not the only defining characteristic in oppression. As opposed to there being a unified experience of “female oppression” which defines all oppression experienced by women, oppression is defined by the interaction of gender with factors such as class, sexuality and culture (Carbado, 2013).

The movie Pariah displays a number of intersectional facets that interact to create identity. Gender and sexuality are the most obvious intersectional factors explored in the movie. However, Alike’ ...

1. Introduction
African Americans represent the second largest ethnic minority in the United States and this community is increasingly vulnerable to a range of potential health concerns. Poor sanitary conditions and limited awareness of healthy lifestyle practices increase this population’s vulnerability to health problems. Statistical evidences suggest that the prevalence rate of HIV infection is unproportionately high in this population group, and hence federal organizations like CDC are actively working on this issue. This paper will explore the relationship between HIV infection and the African American population considering the social, cultural, and behavioral factors contributing to this association.

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 ...

Every race, culture, country or religion is subject to stereotypes. In the field of parenting, some children are too attached to their cultures while others are not. In some cultures, children are treated with coercion while others are spoiling them. Every child differs from each other as well as parents. Regardless of race, culture or religion, every parent should teach their children love and respect for their cultural heritage as well as awareness on others.
I always have the notion that strict parents raise successful children. This perception is attributed to the many successful people who admitted that ...
