The perception of the majority of people in any society easily denotes what dominant ideologies mean. Each society shares certain beliefs that uphold certain values accepted and indeed practiced by them as revealed by the Omi and Winant racial theory. They argued the race concept was created to justify genocide and inequality that characterized the European or whites’ colonization. Blacks were discriminated and used as slaves, a situation that led them to create a social conscious framework that Europeans were born more superior to them. These dominant versions of the society beliefs proved to be very persuasive especially if ...

Introduction

Slavery remains as one of the widely discussed topic in history. This can be accredited to the fact that the slavery period is a remarkable period in history. While much has been hypothesized regarding the slavery, it is of the essence to note that its scope dates back to the close of the year 1619. This is the year when the first crop of African slaves were shipped into Virginia in North America. Many at times, these slaves were “acquired” to serve various roles, particularly assisting in activities aligned with cash crop production. It is imperative to note that ...

Answer to question THREE: Gender Concepts in the Northern and Southern States

Slavery as an institution was a cause for contradicting ideologies between the northern and southern states of America. With the north advocating for the emancipation of slaves and the south standing for the opposite, the American Civil War had been brewing before 1861 when actual combat began. In turn, different forms of literature were produced from the North in retaliation to the Southerners’ ideologies with each approaching the immorality of slavery from different perspectives. With gender emerging as an issue among both sides, there were instances of emerging beliefs regarding male ...

Most of the poems of Phillis Wheatley and Anne Bradstreet address the themes of religion, slavery, gender and race. In my work, I will pay close attention to the themes of gender and race. The theme of gender and race brings out the inequality and unfairness of the society. From the poems of both writers, men consider themselves superior beings and say that women must show respect and remain submissive always. The place of women in the society is undermined, and their roles not clearly defined. On issues of race, the white Englishmen claim to be the masters of ...

Years before the American civil War of 1861-1865, the two sides that were formed on the issue of slavery had already had different disagreements. While the Southern states were keen on ensuring slavery continued in America, the northern states sought to abolish the act and in turn make all of America slaves free. This has been attributed to the fact that the Southern States were in fact cotton farmers and had big plantations of the same all over the southern territory. With slaves came free labor and major profits from said plantations. On the other hand, Northern ...

In his third essay of the genealogy of morality, Nietzsche combined slave revolt, the feeling of ressentiment and the resurgence of modern reality to develop ascetic ideals. He states that “if one disregards the ascetic ideal” then human lives have no meaning.
Nietzsche claims that, the ressentiment man is reluctant to permit things to build within him. The slight injuries that arise transform into a resentful hatred and he build happiness in a very long process. This man focuses on the future, thus, he is full of hope and cleverness unlike the noble man. In line with Nietzsche argument, ...

The early slaves that came into the United States experienced several difficulties at first.

Introduction

Public schools in the American society can be labeled as a representation of the pluralism in the same society (Haugen et.al, 11). Unluckily, a lot of students in this system are faced with the unwelcoming and violent aspect of this setting. In line with this harsh setting, difficult intergroup relationships arise in the school. Hardly do, teachers have the efficient preparation required to work with the diverse linguistic groups, gender orientation or various socio-cultural differences among the students in class. Prejudicial attitudes are attributed to violence, bullying and conflict in the school setting (Haugen et.al, 11).

Slave trade lasted for centuries within Africa; nonetheless, expansive slave trade started around the 16th century.

It was the divisive politics, brought about by the Reconstruction, which ...

The United States got independence upon the signing of the treaty of Paris. As a result, it expanded westward enlarging its borders seven times.

I choose to take Martin Luther King Jr. on a vacation back in history between 1800 and 1860 because of his passionate advocacy skills regarding the African-American civil rights. His non-violence approach to advance the civil rights based on Christian values was very effective. The fact that he began his activism in an early age and enjoyed a fanatical following from his followers is enough evidence that he would lead reforms such as ending segregation and slave trade early enough.
The three places that I will go back are Ohio, Missouri, and California. I will go to Ohio in ...

The idea of slavery and sacrifice has always been a potent one in fiction and art; the concept of other people suffering for us (and how we let them do that) calls up emotions of guilt and gratitude.

In these works, society is illustrated to be a system that favors the wealthy and privileged at ...

In my first year upon joining senior school, I became more enlightened about the human rights. Previously, I was content with the perception of the society about slaves. I perceived slaves to be lesser humans who were meant to help more superior beings. Slaves, to me, did not have feelings, neither did they have needs other than basic, to keep them going. In short, slaves were more of domestic animals than human beings. In some countries, they were treated with respect, while in others, they were treated with utmost brutality. For example, in Amsterdam, the black men and women ...
