Race Creative Writings Samples For Students

In “Are College Educated Police Safer?”, Kelli Goff uses a study by Joshua Correl, a University of Chicago psychology professor to examine the issue of alleged police bias against racial minorities:

Perhaps most surprisingly, the most recent studies have found that

racial bias does not influence whom officers shoot—at least not in
the way many of us assumed. The studiesfound that those in the
general public are substantially more likely to simulate shooting if
the unarmed suspect is black, when the game was tried by members
of law enforcement they were less likely to commit similar race based
errors. (Goff, 2014).

I only obtained a 50/50 score. It is true that our definition of race is subjective.

It is wrong to categorize and say that difference in level of educational attainment is solely dependent upon ...

Introduction
Getting nominated for the “Hall of Fame” is a great recognition and honor for any American. The origin of its conception has great relevance in the context of equality, justice, freedom, and respect for human values. It is in the 1890s, that the Rev. Henry MacCracken, president of New York State University, took it upon himself to build a Hall of Fame. It was the brainchild of this visionary who had concerns for prostitution, democracy and the Roman Empire that culminated in a "Parnassus" - a centre of importance.

While on the surface these two cultures might seem to have much in common (given that they are frequently discriminated against minorities in the United States), in point of fact they are very different in the ways that they assimilate into American culture.

In order to find the connection between these three terms, first we need to define them. The rule of law, as per Zun, Nollkaemper and Peerenboom (12), denotes the legal principle that accounts for the need of a nation to be governed by law. In other words, it reflects the unlimited exercise of power through subjecting it to well-defined, as well as established laws; laws entrenched in a given constitution of the nation at hand. On the other hand, legitimacy denotes lawfulness of any given thing, and lawful here means it adheres to the laws of a given country’ ...

At first glance, Dr. Suess’ story The Sneetches seems to be a metaphor about race, and the changing social narrative about race in America. For example, the Star-Belly Sneetches could be a stand-in for white people, while the Plain-Belly Sneetches are analogous to black people. The Sneetches’ flip-flopping between wanting to be star-bellied and wanting to be plain-bellied could be analogous to the way black and white people have wanted to exchange races, based on whichever race is seen as “better” or “cooler” per its portrayal in popular culture. In the end, the Sneetches realize that neither being star-bellied ...

More than 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson pointed out that education is the key to “prepar[ing] citizens to participate effectively and intelligently in our open political system if we are to preserve freedom and independence” (Wisconsin v.

While education is not considered a fundamental constitutional right, most states have statutes guaranteeing to every child access to an education. The benefits of an education are undeniable, and few persons will have any chance at success without attaining at least a ...

Stevie Wonder's 1972 performance of Superstition is a classic illustration of “ABAB” song form. The “A” phrases are notated by an “aabb” rhyming pattern, while the “B” section, contains the same words each time it is sung and does not have a discernible rhyming pattern. The “B” section is followed by a brief musical interlude that is heavy on the horn section before dipping into the next chorus. The horns play a prominent role in the entire song, however, when Stevie Wonder sings the “B” section, the horns are less noticeable and Wonder's vocals are the forefront of the song.

Segregation was a common vice that to place in most of the social amenities. The fact that the available public facilitates were used separately by the white and black due to the concern of superiority and inferiority that existed between the two races.

The cover displays a rough cave like rocky texture with plenty of “caveman art”. The art implies the evolution of man from more primitive forms walking on all fours to intermediate forms with a bent back to the more evolved upright and seemingly complex modern man. The piece is intertwined by a haunting creepy theme broken up by frantic, sound interludes that tend to grow darker and darker as man’s spirit sinks lower and he nears his imminent destruction. The work basically depicts man’s journey from primitive forms to more evolved intelligent forms to the enslavement of fellow men and ...
