The Chinese constitution states that all power belongs to the people and that the state provides protection to the interests and lawful rights of the minorities and develops and upholds the relationship of unity, equality, and shared assistance among all people in China. Discrimination and oppression are prohibited including ...

Summary – Katula and Donald

In Katula’s essay “The Gettysburg Address as the Centerpiece of American Racial Discourse,” the author argues that Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was the turning point at which America’s destiny was turned to the search for racial equality. The work itself is largely an opinion piece, only working from speculation of the Address itself in the context of history (citing other importance civil rights events like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Brown v. Board of Education and more) to paint the Address as something that inspired all these other cultural advances. As a professor of African-American studies, Katula ...

Question 1:

The civil rights era was an era that goes down in America’s history as the stepping stone for equality. It was characterized by events that were and are still celebrated as US’ most important stepping stones to full democracy. One of Martin Luther King’s most famous speeches, I Have a Dream, he gives some of the hopes that he desires to see. He describes his desire to see black people, referred to as “sons of former slaves”, living in harmony with the whites referred to as “the sons former slave owners” (James, 2004).
The Civil Rights Movement ...

It is never right when an entire group of people is reduced to a single thought or action. The same is true when an entire region or religion is reduced to sexism. There has never been a period of time when men have had to join together and work to usurp their rights. Men have not had to live in fear of being exploited by the women of their culture or the women of other cultures. The very thought of such a thing happening is almost unimaginable, inconceiveable, and unthinkable – not only in modern times – but in any time in history. Men ...

Cash a check – King uses this phrase to introduce his analogy of what the civil rights movement is doing to establish its rights in America. He uses this phrase because cashing a check is something his American audience is familiar with doing. He is trying to accomplish the actions of the civil rights movement, the claiming of equal rights, as something every American should be able to do.
Magnificent – King uses this word to describe the “words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.” He is trying to accomplish establishing his respect for these documents and to align himself ...

(a) summarizing the problem area (be specific in defining the problem)
The problem that has been chosen is the gender equality gap that is evident in corporate America. This problem is important due to the implications that this has on equality and social progress. The regard that is given to equality within the corporate and business realm has direct implications on the view that society as a whole has regarding the issue. Further problems can be seen in the lack of diversity that results from these hiring practices. This can lead to an inherent lack of critical thinking due ...

Literature Review

Abstract
This literature review paper focusses on the subject of the role of dreams and the relationship between those dreams and hope. For this purpose three readings of different genres have been selected, to see what and how the three writers have expressed their dreams. The three pieces of literature under study are, a poem called ‘The Chimney Sweeper’ by William Blake, Martin Luther’s speech ‘I have a dream’ and the speech by Abraham Lincoln, popularly known as the ‘Gettysburg Address’.
‘The Chimney Sweeper’ by William Blake addresses the issue of child labor and the social oppression that a ...

The tale of America’s tumultuous racial history is fraught with conflict, fear and violence, as people of color throughout America’s history have had to fight tooth and nail for what freedoms and rights they currently enjoy. To that end, the Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s were some of the bravest, most courageous activists within this movement, riding interstate buses to challenge the strict segregation laws that had been put in place throughout the Southern United States. In 2011, a group of brave Americans sought to recapture that activist spirit by reenacting their ...

The American female poetry of the 18th century was absorbed with the spirit of feminism, equality and struggle for the rights. It was the time when politicians desired independence from the British Empire. Besides, it was the epoch when women gained a strong voice and raised the issue of equality. The poetry of Judith Sargent Murray and Jane Colman Turell highlight the limitations the women faced and their desire to overcome them. Murray wanted to change the social status of women who were deprived from such basic concept as education and science, whereas Turell desired to change the religious ...

Introduction

Addressing the objective of this academic investigation engages in dialogue how the writings of Norma Alarcon, Kimberle' Crenshaw, Judith Butler, and Roderick Ferguson align with the rearticulation of the theory of intersectionality criticizing the liberal notion of identity and subjectivity of women social and political issues. The ensuing academic goal also includes examining how these authors' seeming discrepant situations actually allow delineation of their shared point of conjecture, critical dialogues, and challenges of women in the 21st century.

The Unified Issue of the Authors

Review of Alarcon, Crenshaw, Butler, and Ferguson dialogue on American feminism expansion including global feminism reveals the one unified issue expressed ...

Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader who fought for the rights and economic freedom of the people with color. He fought through non-violent demonstrations because he believed in love and togetherness. King was resistant against status quo and he fought for equal state between the blacks and whites and overall for the equality of the whole world. His main message through his speech “I have a Dream" was love and togetherness between the blacks and whites. He delivered his speech in order to stop racial segregation in schools and other organizations. He wanted to solve the dilemmas facing the ...

As far as equality goes, there are no rules by which a person can be judged to be inferior to another person. There are differences, but these differences do not constitute a valid basis for discrimination, which is often the case with racism and sexism. As Singer argues, equality is a moral ideal rather than an assertion of a fact. The principle of equality is based on the fact that there are no moral differences between living beings.
Singer exposes the way in which animals are being used in order to satisfy human taste in food by saying that ...

People hold different views on matters of contraception in relation to abortion and Marquis is no different. According to him, abortion is immoral since it deprives the fetus the benefits it ought to enjoy in the future as well as the art of appreciating its current position as a fetus. He excludes the abortions done with regards to special cases such as prior to implantation, if the life of the mother is threatened by the fetus and in cases of rape. He, however, does not view the use of contraception in relation to abortion as morally wrong even though ...

Labor Market

Labor market is a form of the economy that functions through demand and the supply of labor. Labor demand is the companies demand; labor and supply focus on the supply of the labor workers. The bargaining power is likely to have high influence on both supply and demand. Majority of the nation is aware that the labor market institutions that have equalizing effects tend to encounter challenges (Peitchinis, 2005). Policy change is required in relation to equality since it ensures that the status quo focuses on both national and international change. Labor market comprises of employees searching for work, employers ...

Introduction

Literature, besides being a form of art used for expression, preserves customs, morals, and cultural ideals. The written word gives people a deeper context of the lives and livelihoods of people, places, and events (Kronick, 23). Literature is the best way in which history has been and will continue to be passed on from one generation to another. Each generation adds its experiences to literary accounts and passes on to the next one. For instance, people can learn and imagine, with accuracy, as much about the life and times of William Shakespeare by interacting with his literature and that of ancient ...

Literature Review: Teacher as a Researcher

The concept of diversity in sports is an aspect that has been rooted in the history of sports, in addition to becoming an important aspect in sports. The future of all sporting events largely depends on the ability of individuals to cultivate mutual understanding, at the same time safeguard equal participation of members from all cultural backgrounds and diversities. Sport is a universal activity because it is watched and played by individuals from all cultural backgrounds. There is no doubt that sporting events constitutes an amalgamation of multiethnic communities and cultures. Despite the universal characteristics of sports and sporting events, ...

Since the dawn of human civilization annihilation of millions of people has been occurring. After the two World Wars, this annihilation took place through many civil wars fought within the nations all over the world. The Genocide or the mass killing of a particular ethnic group has been a common phenomenon in civil wars. In 1990s, the Kashmiri Hindus were expelled by Muslim terrorists through severe massacre. The question is whether mass massacre is the answer to any problem. There is a universal agreement that genocide is immoral and unethical (Jones, 1999). Still even after the horrified consequences of ...

Types of Social Challenges Faced By Indian Students in Melbourne Tertiary Universities

Overview of existing research
Whereas there have been worrying acts of hostility, Australia is commonly considered an excellent practice country in its international student experiences, migration policies, and assimilation of people from diverse backgrounds. Despite a normally upbeat track record, room and chance for improvement are always there, as recent shortcomings in the experiences of international students in Australia indicate.
Recently, foreign students living in Australia have been physically attacked and in fact murdered. Victimization is a shameful and painful experience and must not be condoned in any institutional arrangement or public policy, yet, it still happens even in ...

Self-reliance

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something, which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.” (Emerson) (Nina et al, 1094)
In this quote, Emerson urges people to remain themselves at all times. He insists on people obeying their natural instincts, trusting in their intrinsic abilities and doing the things that they can do best. He believes that by so doing everyone will be able to rely in him/herself.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a highly influential American novel for many reasons, not the least of which is the compelling, well-drawn and uniquely American character of Atticus Finch. A strong, paternal presence to his family and his community, Atticus is highly principled, hard-working and dedicated to a sincere sense of justice. Both in his parenting of Scout and his defense of Tom Robinson, Atticus’ virtue is shown throughout. While America may not always live up to the standards Atticus Finch himself sets, he represents a set of ideals that America hopes to strive towards, including equality, fairness and standing up ...

The Renaissance was a fascinating time for intellectuals and thinkers, as humanity began to explore ways to make the perfect society outside of the realm of religion. As scientific knowledge began to advance further and further, writers such as Francis Bacon and Thomas More began to write about how these changes were reflecting the ways in which societies were to be constructed. The notion of a utopia – a perfect society – was created, and More and Bacon penned their own visions of utopias that would have a more humanist, scientific basis in their societal construction, rather than religion. Through the work of Thomas More’ ...

Introduction

The teacher is crucial in ensuring a proper learning environment for the student. It is the duty of the teacher to ensure equality for all students in the learning process without regard of their social status, class, religion, race or gender. In that perspective it is paramount that the teacher understands the methodologies that are suitable in a multi-cultural and multi racial setting (Banks, J. A., & Banks, C. A. 2004).

A comparison between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Human rights form the foundation of a harmonious and progressive society. No wonder the United Nations has come up with express conventions, treaties and laws designed to protect human rights. However, the degree of human rights from continent to continent and country to country is not the same. A review of the existing literature reveals that while some countries have progressive human right regimes, others still have their fists clenched against granting basic human rights to the people. A comparison of the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reveals such disparities. This paper is premised on the fact ...

Impact of Gender on Career – Literature Review

Introduction
Gender inequality is a major problem in the workplace. For numerous reasons, women face discrimination at the workplace and they are treated in ways that prevents them from building and growing a meaningful career. This literature review hypothesizes that the prominence of gender inequality in the work environment creates an atmosphere where women cannot advance in their careers and rise to top-level positions where they take decisions.

Although the Nineteenth Amendment was passed almost 100 years ago, there is a general lack of equality in the workplace in America and the main source of this and the topmost ...

The issue of gender inequality has always been a serious concern raising a far-reaching dispute throughout the history of humankind. This point of legal inequality has been examined in different fields of human activity, employment and politics being the most emphatic ones (Anon, 2016). Besides that, the issue of gender inequality has developed to encompass a far wider range of human realms, including sports. Therefore, the major subject matter for this essay is gender inequality, specifically the phenomenon of women’s derogation (Anon, 2016).
Since the world of sport experienced recession in its general evolution, women became the most “ ...

We read and listen to news that tell us what to think, we see movies that tell us how other people are and we believe we are creating our own views about them. However, these are some of the mechanisms through which mass media are creating stereotypes. We know, based on what TV shows and other media teach us, that Italians are loquacious, that Latin Americans are U.S. immigrants, that Muslims are dangerous and pose terrorist threat, or that Asians are stoic (Lewis, “When Cultures Collide”). Moreover, mass media also teache us that African Americans are low achievers, blue ...

It is not a secret that women are a marginalized community. Even in the twenty first century, women get paid less than men for identical work. All around the world, giving birth to a girl child is rarely celebrated in the same victorious vein as that of a male baby. The United States often referred to as the super power of the world, is yet to produce a female president. These are only a handful of examples of women occupying subordinate positions in relation to men. Unfortunately, however, this marginalization is only the beginning of a downward spiral. The ...

The yellow paper is a story that is usually said to be horror. This is due to the mistreatments that were accorded to the women during the period. The fact that people see the mistreatments being abnormal makes the people to refer the stories as being a horror. Gothic on the other hand is a story that combines both matters relating to romance and horror. Most of the characters in the story have the characteristics of horrors. What the stories show is that the women were taken to be the weak creatures during the period when the stories were written. They were ...

American literature knows many authors who had a tragic destiny, who quit early and did not implement what their gift engaged for. Amid an American life, these authors were perishing from loneliness and alcoholism. They stayed with no help and without a word of participation, as if they were in an abandoned desert. Every event like this repeatedly calls the attention of intellectual people all over the world to vice of American capitalistic culture and American lifestyle, which is extremely indifferent to people’s destinies. In the period of time “amid two wars”, there was the most evident drama – the tragic ...

The impact of poverty on the young population is greater than would appear from an outside perspective. Approximately one in six children in Australia lives below the poverty line, a figure that has increased since 2003. Those in poverty are defined as making less than half of the median income. In all 575,000 children were in poverty according to 2009-2010 data.
There are some effects of poverty on childhood development that are not immediately tangible. According to Lipina and Colombo, the impact of various types of deprivation early in life can have lasting cognitive and neurological impacts on ...

The social inequalities and injustice were common across North America and such discriminations instigated the feminists to defy subjugation and fight for equality. Social change efforts have been met with significant barriers across the years, and yet women’s movement has been successful to varying degrees since it emerged (Bromley 2012, p.132). I believe that economic system also contributed towards women’s liberation; however according to (Firestone 1970, p.22) reproduction of human species was an important economic system distinct means of production and he observed that labor was divided ...

There are multiple faces and variances of feminism nowadays, differentiating both geographical as well as cultural (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). The western feminism comprises the values of the developed and partly developing countries, whereas the African and Asian feminism comprises the values of these societies, where besides gender, race is another element that defines women and the feminism discourse (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). But in practice things are much more complex than this simply structured formulation of localized feminism. Looking at the Islamic Asian countries, for instance, there can be observed great differences between women’s condition in Turkey or Egypt, ...

Workforce science is becoming a new method of hiring; big data is being utilized instead of traditional hiring methods in order to determine the best candidates for certain jobs. Firms now provide proprietary data science mining in order to score candidates to find out who will be the best hire.

Introduction

Feminism is a social and political movement aimed at establishing equality for women in the society (Klein 12). From the feminist perspective, the Canterbury Tales expresses some critics of Ruth Evans and Lesley Johnson who argued that it is hard to ignore the difference between how people viewed women in the past and today. In addition, males who mostly advocate for anti-feminism composed most stories found in the Caterbury Tales. This essay has deeply touches on the bad and good attributes assigned to women in the Canterbury Tales. Some of the bad attributed discussed included denial of rights to enter ...

In Toni Morrison’s short story “Recitatif”, the experiences of American American women are explored through the comparison of a white female and an African American woman. It is never fully explained which woman is of which race, but because of the cultural differences the reader is led to believe that the white woman is of higher social standing than that of the African American woman.
Although the story takes place in a more modern setting with laws are in place to protect the rights of minorities, the story suggests that even in today’s world racism still exists. This ...

Introduction

Thoreau’s civil disobedience emerges from Thoreau’s refusal to pay church tax claiming that the church has no right to impose tax. His reasoning is that if all institutions were to present their tax bills to the government, then he would be bound to pay his; but, there is no justification for “taxing the schoolmaster to support the priest” (Thoreau 49). This implies that though the policy may be ethical, the underlying structure is disputable. His reasoning is influential; it stirs a logical query of every aspect of one’s own life, indicating a close connection between text and action. ...

Thesis Statement
Studying gender roles in society implies complex discussions about how men and women are perceived in different environments (inside the household versus outside the household) and in different situations. For a better understanding of the gender representation, their relations and their role in the Turkish family and society, there is necessary a discussion about gendered institutions.

Objective of the Study

The paper aims to develop a research that will analyze the Turkey situation regarding gender roles, inserting elements related to the concept of gendered institutions, which is considered to be a significant issue in preserving the traditional role of men and women in the ...

ABSTRACTThis paper explores the many general similarities between Alice Walker’s "The Welcome Table" and Nadine Gordimer’s "Country Lovers", and the ways in which racism is presented by both writers. Both stories condemn the hypocrisy and attack the injustices of racist societies. Both stories have a symbolic element which is examined and discussed and the fact that both stories are set in very different societies and, therefore, have very different contexts and settings is always at the heart of the paper’s argument. Each story is also discussed and explored separately in order to focus on its individual qualities. ...

The question is that why in American society people have less sympathy towards elderly people and why they are ...
