Racial Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Racial profiling has always been an issue of discussion over the past few years. It is however, considered the practice done by law enforcement officers to having a target on certain individuals with suspicion of crime based on the individual’s characters. The targets considered as social profiling are based on certain unique characteristics including race, ethnicity, the national origin or even religion. Walking and Williams(2008) state that the discriminatory actions are mainly carried out in the western countries, which have high diversity degree.
The law enforcing bodies, however, treat racial profiling differently. The U.S. department of justice ...

Even after decades, racial tensions and discriminations have not been erased completely. Racial injustices to African-Americans continue to pervade even today and compel President Obama to speak on the issue. With more than a third of the US population belonging to ethnic minority groups, it would be a mistake to ignore issues related to racism.
Can racism spread its roots in the health care industry and if it has, is racism is a significant barrier to accessing healthcare? Those are tough questions and need some studies. The essay explores the disparities in health care systems experienced by the racial ...

The Importance of Keeping Affirmative Action in the U.S.: The Struggle for Rights by the Chicano People
In a country like the US where racial and ethnic inequalities are a major social problem, affirmative action has become an important aspect of alleviating such differences and inequalities. Affirmative action programs are those policy actions that are meant at correcting past injustices that have been perpetrated against a group of people and any inequalities that exist between them and the native people in a ...

Exposure to Racial Discrimination in Criminal Justice System

The criminal justice system of the United States comprises several challenges and flaws, while the issue with the spread of the racial disparity poses the most significant problem to the welfare of the citizens of the country. This problem is not new to the criminal justice system as it has roots in the XX century with the consideration of the cases of African Americans in trial. In the beginning of this period of time, African Americans amounted to 10% of the entire population of the United States, while the amount of the sentenced prisoners may be regarded as relatively ...

Despite the fact that both the United States and Brazil have a history of the institution of slavery, each country documented a different reaction to the emancipation of those in bondage. Racial relations among Brazilians were significantly different in comparison to the documented experiences of African Americans residing in the United States after the abolition of slavery. For instance, while African Americans became subject to discriminatory laws that included Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes, Brazil did not experience the same form of government-imposed racism. In other words, legislations did not institutionalize racism among the people of Brazil; however, ...

Is the War on drug policies a major factor in racial profiling?

Introduction
My name is ( ) and the topic I shall discuss is whether the war on drug policies stand as a major factor in racial profiling or not, and I believe that war on drug policies are not a major factor in racial profiling. This issue is important to be because there are many minorities in the country who live under the burden and impression as the supreme targets as drug addicts and racial profiling against them is a major problem. I have friends who feel living amongst the rest of the people are always afraid that they might become ...

Introduction

Rosa Parks was born on 4 February 1913 in Alabama. Parks grew up in Pine Level, Alabama, on her maternal grandfather’s farm. Parks had to experience racial discrimination early in her life, with race divided schools in Alabama. As a child, Rosa suffered from poor health, especially her sore throat. She was also weak for her age and used to be bedridden with her sickness. Rosa grew up in segregated South where she had to live in an environment that rejected African Americans to enter segregated hotels or restaurants (McDonough, 2010, p. 1-12). Her long struggle toughened her ...

Introduction

In the study of Freng (2001), the factors of racial background as well as ethnic origins have long found an association with criminal conduct. Even from the years that slavery was practiced in the United States, debates and arguments on the inordinate representation of minorities either in conflict or in the custody of one element of the criminal justice system have been proffered as to whether this overrepresentation is the result of bigoted policies being implemented by the authorities or are these instances only proffer that these minorities are genetically inclined towards criminal conduct. In addition, since ethnic ...

Thesis Statement
Many scholars and critics have sought to find some hidden meaning and messages in the works of Shakespeare. However, despite the abundance of allegory, sarcasm and on satire, the reader’s attention should not be diverted from the main problem that the author shows in “Othello” and this is the issue of race and discrimination within the society of those days. This topic has not yet been fully described and is of interest as it shows some controversial noted in terms of the understanding of racism as we know it now, and how people understood it in ...

Introduction

Over the last few decades, the Canadian education system has been characterized by ethnic and racial discrimination. Despite having the Ontario Human Rights Code that advocates for equal rights for all and freedom from discrimination, cases of ethnic prejudice have been manifested significantly, especially for the Blacks and Aboriginal population who have over time been denied access to quality education (Daenzer & Dei, 1994). These minority groups experience low-quality education, which leads to low academic attainment. Aspects of ethnic discrimination have deterred the minority groups and denied them a chance to pursue ambitions for social mobility and high levels of ...

Race and ethnicity are defining characteristics in modern society, and although progress has been made to reduce disparities and enforce equity among all groups, inequalities still exist. These inequalities are deeply rooted in American society and often mislabeled as racism, racial bigotry, or sexism. Because society seeks the ultimate equality, the second feminist movement has gone overboard in ensuring the equitable treatment of all groups. Fixing the problem of equality is not something that is possible by forcing all groups to be the same, when differences will always exist and arguably should exist. The feminist movement initiated as a ...

Introduction

Since its establishment, Disney was known to promote racism through racial messages embedded within their films for several years. Though many people assert that Disney followed the signs of the time, it was against the moral law to be insensitive to other cultures while promoting the interest of another race which was perceived as superior. Dumbo, for example, was a film laced with racists messages. Disney has embraced the word, Crow, to stereotype African Americans as cigar smokers, lazy as well as associated with criminal activities.
Peter Pan film also emphasized the notion of racial discrimination against other cultures. ...

Lorraine Hansberry's play is one of the most famous literary works of the late 50s, which raises the issues of racism, racial discrimination, and cultural identity of African Americans. The author touches on the social problems of the postwar period, and most of these problems relates to the African-American cultural heritage. Hansberry describes the life of an ordinary African American family living in the south of Chicago. The family members' relationship and the response to the opportunity to achieve something more reveals the basis of the plot and the perspectives of the play. The play's problematics affect mainly the ...

Abstract

This brief essay studied the uninsured and the health care disparities they face. Essential Affordable Care Act provisions and their effects were studied. Critical factors affecting the health care of the uninsured were identified; these included race, ethnicity, income, socioeconomic status, culture, language and income. Several research studies concluded that while access to health care has improved, the quality of this care has not improved for the uninsured. Although the number of uninsured has been reduced dramatically since 2010, insurance costs continue to increase significantly. Failure of states to expand Medicaid benefits has limited uninsured patients’ health care options. ...

Introduction

Diversity is a concept that can have various meanings. It entails an understanding that every person is unique. It is essential to mention that diversity is all about understanding one another irrespective of our race, culture, sexual orientation, physical ability, gender, social class, or ethnicity, and embracing tolerance to our individual differences. Diversity is primarily a good thing as it allows for both variety and richness and increases innovation which, in turn, facilitates the economic growth of a country. Diversity is fundamentally an opportunity because the society, which learns to coexist with it has high chances of attaining faster ...

Racial profiling is still rife in the great United States of America despite decades of campaigns to eradicate profiling of individuals based on their skin color, their religion, and place of origin. Cases of racial profiling have been reported in airports, bus and train terminus among other places in the United States (Onwudiwe 6). Schools are not left behind in reporting the numbers of racial profiling incidences. One of the most prominent cases of school racial profiling is the story of Ahmed Mohammed, a story that caused a storm in the United States and around the globe. In its ...

Race can be seen as how people are taken in respect to any particular social group as well as their differences as noticed from the visual point. As compared to the earlier days, racial issues are less burning in the context of the present-day society amongst American people. Basically, in the contemporary society, a number of racial equality measures have been undertaken in order to make sure that all the people in the United States are resolved as within the single nation ("A Growing Divide on Race").
Introduced as a tool in the fight against racial, ethnic and gender ...

The history of Chinese immigration in the United States has always been complicated. As the USA used to be very attractive country for immigration, Chinese immigrants’ influx reached a high number by the middle of the XIX century. Despite the growing number of immigrants of different ethnicities, racial issue was still critical in the relations between white Americans and Asian immigrants. Racial intolerance often fueled by economic and social problems in the country led to violent actions and tragic consequences. One of such events, named later as the Rock Springs massacre of 1885, has become the result of both ...

According to the 2012 census, the United States total population is estimated to be over 313 million; this represents a 9.7% increase within a period of 10 years (Thomas, 2014). Moreover, the composition of the population is one of the most diverse in the world; it’s made up of people with different racial and ethnic backgrounds ranging from Caucasians or the Whites, the Blacks or African Americans, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, and the Hispanics or Latinos. As a result, the diverse U.S. population has serious implications on the United States ...

Obesity is a condition of having more than average fatness, and it is defined by the Body Mass Index (BMI) of 95th percentile or more. Obesity epidemic is not only affecting the people from underdeveloped and developing countries but also affecting the people of developed countries. Particularly, minorities in developed countries are facing the problem more commonly as compared to the other population. During the last few decades, it has not only affected the adults but also children even at very young ages. Therefore, for the betterment of future generations, it is important to work ...

Introduction

The United States is depicted as the most democratic nation in the world. The aspect of democracy arises from the choices that people are presented with. The ability to determine one’s leaders, goods, services, regions and rights are some of the choice elements that the American population is presented with. Another aspect that can be associated with the United States is its diversity in regards to the ethnic groups and races; immigration has resulted in the creation of one of the most interracial communities in the world.
Nearly all races are present in America as a result of ...

Women and gender studies

Gender studies - the practice of interdisciplinary research using the cognitive capabilities of the social theory of sex (gender) for the analysis of social phenomena and its changes. The psychoanalyst Robert Stoller worked at the University of California he has introduced into science the term "gender" in 1958, which means social manifestations of belonging to a sex or a "social sex". In 1963, Robert Stoller spoke at a psychoanalytic congress in Stockholm. He presented a report on the gender self-awareness. His concept was based on the separation into biological and culture study of sex. The scientist believed that sex ...

Over the last few decades, the level of economic inequality has significantly increased, especially in the OECD countries (John 7). Essentially, the top earning population has acquired a large share of the overall gains in income. Fundamentally, there has been an increasing consensus that major assessment on the level of economic performance should not be based solely on income growth, but the distribution of income. Such assessments are highly concerned with the level of both economic and income inequality.
Economic inequality measurements have numerous dimensions, and economists view it in terms of monetary assessments related to incomes for individual ...

The picture portrayed in the setting entails the impoverished inner-city Hill District in Pittsburgh. ...

The Decline and Fall of Apartheid: National, Regional, and Global Factors

Introduction
The struggle for independence in the Republic of South Africa was weakened by certain policies and directives that were passed on by the then ruling Afrikaans. Apartheid was the biggest obstacle that these freedom fighters were to face. It was characterized by racial segregation that gave preference to the white people while the black people were not viewed as equals. Racial segregation was seen in many other areas such as health care facilities, schools and places of work such as mines where the black people were forced to work. The Apartheid regime came to an end and allowed ...

Introduction

Law enforcement has turned out to be extremely challenging in the contemporary changing social and cultural climate. It has continued to experience a range of challenges that are generated by the existing environment. The law enforcement practices, as well as policies, have received a lot of public scrutiny. Terrorism, large-scale population movements, globalization, and entrenched social problems have made the enforcement of the law, especially by the police, more challenging. The contemporary policing is primarily marked by the uncertainty and broadening of crime deterrence problems. Among the law enforcement officers, the police have been scrutinized heavily by the public. ...

Thesis Paragraph

Immigration has generated interest both in political and in research worlds. The topics have been shrouded with ambiguities considering the dynamics of security and economic constraints. America not like any other nation has culturally diverse populations that coexist harmoniously curtsey of multiculturalism initiatives by the government. The integration of immigrants into the society has slowly evolved to be a complex exercise that requires security scans and consideration of socio-economical impacts of such settlement in the country. This paper identifies two stages of immigrants’ integrations, screening, and settling. The government should not perforate ...

Introduction

The world of today is characterized by an abundance of plural societies, where people from different cultures, languages, races, and ethnicities coexist in a spirit of tolerance and harmony. The majority of these civilizations have experienced diversity as a result of particular global phenomena, including slavery, colonization, and immigration among others. The existence of assorted racial and ethnic factions in the contemporary society presents a challenge of inclusion and participation in diverse national issues, especially political processes. Obviously, indigenous groups reserve and exert the greatest influence as far as participation and inclusion in political processes in host countries are ...

Abstract

Notably, interracial couples and their families have faced various challenges including rejection and being stereotyped. These challenges have resulted in increased trauma and developmental delays among interracial people. The most common misperception about interracial couples is that one partner is black while the other one is white. The rate at which interracial marriages are growing in the US has increased steadily. Considering that the United States legalized interracial marriages, a high growth rate in interracial marriage is a significant move. The demand for interracial counseling is expected to rise as the number of multicultural couples increase.

The living environment shapes who people are. Naturally, in neighborhoods with a negative criminogenic environment, people often go deviant, and, when they do, it often is at a relatively young age. Researchers have gone to great lengths to study the underlying causes of delinquent behavior of young residents. Poverty appears to be one of the principal driving forces of offenders long with income disproportion, albeit to a far lesser extent. The blockade of opportunities or the means to achieve culturally acceptable norms in the society is also an important motivation. While race is not universally found to cause delinquency, ...

After the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, the Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Schneider (2014) affirms that Fair Housing Act (FHA), was purposely applied to curb discriminatory housing patterns which were encouraging and upholding racial segregation and in the discrimination in the sale and rental of housing based on race, color, religion, and national origin. Schneider (2014) addresses that in 1974, gender was included as a protective class under the Act, intensifying the prohibitions of the act to the treatment and harassment of individuals on the gender perspectives. Nonetheless, the Fair Housing Act ...

The Fair Sentencing Act

On August 3, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, for the first time in the History of the U.S (Grindle, 2010). This law was a response to the then claims of racial biases of the law in convicting drug dealers. This Act established new quantity thresholds, which were meant to trigger statutory mandatory minimum and maximum penalties for offenses related to cocaine. By so doing, this law amended the Controlled Substance Act and the controlled import and export of substance. This new law saw to it that the quantities of cocaine that ...

Dance is an art that allows people to express their feelings through body movements. It is also an art that is used to entertain as well as bring people of different cultures together. Dances have also been used as a historical tool to identify people from different ethnic background, age groups and different social setting in addition to being utilized as a tool for harmonizing different people in a social event. People brought together through dancing are able to learn different cultures, thus learning how to respect and appreciate cultural and social diversity. It is common to see people ...

Gentrification has been a very controversial topic in urban planning since 1964, when it was first introduced. Though upper and middle classes can benefit from this process, it can bring significant loss to low income residents. Some people see this process as the one that improves the quality of life, others are left with nothing but hatred for people who took their places and changed their communities. There are different views and opinions on whether gentrification has more advantages or, on the contrary, more negative sides. In this paper there are many researches on gentrification discussed and compared, as ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

Healthcare can best be defined as the maintaining as well as the improving of one’s health through various aspects such as treatment, vaccination and so on. The deliverance of health care is mostly done by professionals of health in all fields. The access to health care services has been observed to vary across various countries, regions, ethnicities, social groups in society as well as individuals (Healthy People 2011). However, the main factors influencing access to health services have been reported to be the social as well as economic conditions of a particular place. The access to quality healthcare ...

The prevalence of teen suicide is a growing concern in the healthcare industry, as it is ranked as the 2nd highest cause of death among the teenagers (Jason Foundation, 2016). Generally, the suicide rates in the United States continue to raise concern, as it is ranked tenth cause of death in the country. While the incidences of suicide had significantly decreased in the ‘90’s, this trend has now reverted, as there is an increase in suicide deaths. AFSP (2016) argues that statistics indicating the prevalence and incidences of suicide in the United States could be an underrepresentation, as ...

Globalization and changing environment lead to improvement of cultural interactions between people and, thus, require new approaches to education. The diversity in schools and universities and different cultural and family background of students result in the new role of a teacher as a "guide" who is able to perceive each of his students as an individual with a personal set of skills and is able to find to each of them personal educational approach. It is especially challenging for early education when children just learn to interact with each other and to be tolerant. The terms "diversity" and "cultural ...

There has been a reason for outrage as police brutality has escalated and many incidents have become more visible in communities today although was also present in years past. For example, according to Darden and Thomas, “If African Americans in Detroit between 1925 and 1945 were to name the worst racial abuses they had to encounter, without a moment’s hesitation they would have said “white police brutality” (Darden and Thomas 29). This has helped to encourage reporting of police brutality. But, citizens like Victor Rios who have experienced police brutality filed complaints and was simply ignored (Rios 59).

The Civil Rights Act and All the Way
The Civil Rights Movement was one of the most arduous and hard-fought social progress movements in American history. Capitalizing on the confluence of aggressive resistance to Jim Crow laws and increased pressure from the American public to foster racial equality, President Lyndon B. Johnson had an extremely difficult time reconciling the deep divisions that existed between progressive whites and blacks and Southern whites who wanted to maintain social restrictions on black people. This conflict is depicted in Robert Schenkkan’s play All the Way in an accurate, dramatic manner, showcasing the ...

“What then is freedom?” Asked the famous abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass in a speech offered in the early days of the year 1865 in a gathering joined for the coming of the end of the institution of slavery and the Civil War. As Douglass states which were reported by Rubio (2001), “Freedom is the right to choose one’s employment. It is most positively anything and when individuals decide for any man he when that man should work, where he should work then the man is diminished into slavery. Affirmative Action has long been a topic of discussion for ...

The civil rights movement was a succession of political protests in the United States that sought to bring racial equality before the law. In many instances, the protesters used nonviolent acts in enhancing the emancipation of women and the rights of minorities. Despite the fact that many women played a significant role in leading the local civil rights groups and volunteering as lawyers on school segregation suits, their efforts were overshadowed by men who got more attention and credit for the popular historical process in the US.
Many women suffered from sexual discrimination and gender-based discrimination within the movement ...

Segregation is something that has literally separated people throughout history and as the world moves towards a more global and diverse model, the spread of anti-segregation initiatives follow. In a country as developed as the United States of America, and one that has led the way in stifling racial tensions since the Civil Rights Movements of the 1970’s, it seems absurd to think that in today’s racially and ethnically diverse society that these are still problems with segregation. The fact is, not only does segregation exist around the world in less developed countries, but it is something ...

The capital punishment is a form of punishment that is applied in the criminal justice system. It is worth noting that death penalty is one of the debatable issues in the world. Canada is one of the countries that debate on the death penalty as a form of punishment. For many centuries, countries have utilized capital punishment as a strategy for dealing with serious criminals. The form of punishment in Canada dates back to the era of the British colony. This was a form of punishment that was administered to those conceited of murder, assault, rape, buggery of animals, ...

Abstract

One of the most significant milestone that has been done for the United States’ civil rights platform is enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These rights were enacted on July 2nd, 1964. It is through these rights that the rights of civil servants in the United States were assured of protection against such discriminations based on their sex, race, and religion, place of origin or color of their skin.
This paper will in detail examine the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The paper will in detail elaborate on the meaning and significance of the Act as well ...

Many questions are yet to be answered regarding civil rights casualties. Many black people in America were killed, and their murders were not solved. In the 1950s and 60s, quite a significant number of black people that involved themselves with the Civil Rights Movement were killed, and their stories made headlines across the nation. Many family members of the victims killed during the civil rights movement are still waiting for justice and proper measures to be taken on those who participated in the murder of their loved ones.
The murder of three civil rights workers by Ku Klux Klansmen ...

Introduction

The Texas Revolution started in October 1835 with Gonzales’s battle and ended on April 21, 1836, with San Jacinto’s battle. Rogers states, “During the early 1800s, Mexico invited Americans to settle in Texas” (4). Mexico had hope that the settlers would develop the northern part of Mexico. Life in America was so hard that many Americans moved with their slaves to Texas. Even though there were some of the Mexican- born settlers that moved to Texas, a majority of the settlers were from America. There were too many Americans in Texas that it worried the Mexican leaders. ...

Metropolises are large urban areas or cities that are significant political, economic and social cultural centers for a given region or country. They are also important hubs for international or regional commerce, communications and connections. In reference to large cities, neighborhoods are usually districts or localities characterized by certain ranks and qualities of its inhabitants. Therefore, neighborhood segregation refers to the physical separation of urban localities or residents into two or more neighborhoods. Although neighborhood segregation had been attributed to social courses such as ethnicity, racism and cultures, in the last few decades, there is growing evidence that differences ...

Unfortunately, police diversity training to date has not been effective. In fact, diversity training has been found to actually further stereotypes of ethnic groups simply by how the diversity training is presented. Another problem with diversity training is that some participants are given just a few hours of training. Blakemore, Barlow, & Padgett present solutions to each problem they feel exist regarding police diversity training. (1995) Blackwood discusses how Omaha, Nebraska handles their diversity training. (1998) If police departments utilize the suggestions presented by Blakemore et al., police personnel will be able to gain a much better understanding of ...
