In a world where all races seem to be making equal contributions to the economy, the attitude and stereotype towards race has remained to haunt the society. There are still various cases of discrimination on the basis of race. Instead of concentrating on other economic activities, some people have gone ahead to take a critical study of the race just to prove or disapprove the assumptions that have been held towards people of a certain race (Haney, 2006). This implies that race is a social problem rather than a biological issue. Just as a child has no choice of Continue reading...

I am of the opinion that it is inappropriate to experiment with patients lives leave alone write about it. Most of the research carried however has been carried out on patients. Experimenting with patients is dangerous as the consequences could be dire and unbearable. It is not an accepted code of conduct in the medical practice.

In the 2012 documentary Dark Girls, a rather uncomfortable scenario is explored – the idea that darker-skinned black girls are often discriminated against, even by lighter-skinned black girls. The colorism inherent in relations among African-Americans is another subtle indicator at the institutionalized racism that occurs even within black culture, and is something that is rightfully exposed as an endemic problem in the black community. Even within the world of nursing and public policy, colorism and the issues found in Dark Girls are extremely prevalent, to the point where action should be taken. I have personally experienced (and committed) this kind Continue reading...

It is approximated that more than 200000 people gathered at Washington on March 28 1963 at the Lincoln memorial.

Gaining New Ideas from “Working the Fringes”
According to Brent Cunningham in his article, "Working the Fringes," "working the fringes isn't about advocacy but ideas" (Cunningham 2). Cunningham argues further that "working the fringes" or covering stories which are not primarily the focus of mainstream media helps to generate new ideas in response to dealing the various problems which are posed in the twenty-first century. Although this might be true to an extent, I wonder whether or not "working the fringes" will be effective in gaining the attention of a mainstream audience and Continue reading...

Culture

Ethnography: Same Race Dating
Introduction
In many ways race is regarded as the physiological differences among people, which are being codified by language, values, culture, and other explicit sorting that comes to everyone’s head when talking about segregation by characteristics. Among the many factors that determines racial identity is through skin color where light colored skin were identified as someone from the Western hemisphere. Even in the Western regions where the majority of its population was identified as light skin individuals, the mix of other skin tones creates another set of racial subtype. One example is the Hispanics Continue reading...

Skin cancer or metastatic melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancer (Chin, Garraway, and Fisher, 2006). Understanding the physical or phenotypic alterations that occur in relation to skin cancer requires getting acquainted with its pathophysiology. Furthermore, learning the pathophysiology of metastatic melanoma can lead us to a better understanding of what may be most effective in curing the disease.
Metastatic melanoma, causing approximately 13,000 deaths annually with a median overall survival (OS) period of 8 to 18 months, is considered as one of the most aggressive and prevalent types of cancer (Finn, Markovic, and Joseph, Continue reading...

Psoriasis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease are two of the most prevalent types of immune disorders. Being diseases of the immune system, both diseases have similarities and, of course, striking differences. Reviewing both of their pathophysiology, incidences of occurrence and maladaptive responses may help us understand how these two immune disorders manifest their symptoms and affect the human body.
Psoriasis is considered as the most prevalent autoimmune disorder, particularly the psoriasis vulgaris type (Krueger and Bowcock, 2005). Additionally, the prevalence of psoriasis considerably varies worldwide (Langley, Krueger, and Griffiths, 2005). In USA, an estimated 2% of the population is said Continue reading...

Many people hold the notion that race is a way of creating divisions among people. This form of racial construction is based on the assumption that there are differences between different groups of human beings identifiable by their physical features. But to some degree, this does not encompass a biological or genetic; race is limited to some constructed ideologies that are bases for political, cultural and economic concepts. It can never be a biological or genetic concept because there are no concrete facts that back the biological theory. Going by previous research and theories, all human beings subscribe to Continue reading...

Specifically, he set out to know whether the African-Americans suffered from racism and how it affected their day-to-day lives. Griffin was greatly offended by the fact that racism and segregation Continue reading...

Racism is a common term amongst the United States’ citizens. From the years of slavery and Jim Crow south, any form of altercation between white and black Americans automatically becomes an indicator of racial prejudice. Even in the twenty-first century, provided there is a problem between people of different races, bystanders automatically see it as an ethnic issue. Consequently, due to the historical facts, different individuals see white skin as a sign of supremacy whilst other colors take the tail. The ideology of white superiority and the inferiority of other races are evident in many countries with people revering Continue reading...
