Article Summary

First, Perry explores what is noted as "the visual image of black women in hip-hop [over the last 20 years and] how this has rapidly deteriorated" (p.296). It seems as though at the turn of the 20th century, hip-hop started down a path that it has not been able to proverbially recover from. This is due in part to the fact that misogynist perspectives have been on the rise for a number of years, and the genre has only served to highlight the disturbing dynamics associated with this conception. Perry notes that "this use of black women in the ...

Introduction

Ethics is the principal moral conduct, which addresses issues that individuals perceive to infringe their rights. Ethics tries to define and guide us how we should live in our society in harmony. It also tries to analyze the impacts of one’s behavior to others, and its social consequences in the long-run. In addition, it compares what is moral in one society and what is not in another society. This is because our societies are divergent, and what is accepted as moral in one society can be regarded as very immoral in another society. A good example is selling ...

The idea of a humanoid robot includes robots that are completely identical to people, of course, but also encompass any type of robot that has a vaguely humanoid shape.

Discrimination, on the other hand, entails the “unequal treatment of persons, for a reason that has nothing to do with legal rights or ...
