Essays on Racist

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 ...

The essay is based on the studies of McIntosh, Wise, Shams, DiAngelo, Graham, and Dyson. According to the studies of these authors, privilege is considered as a communal theory which states that exceptional rights or compensations are obtainable only to a group of people. Furthermore, privilege is regularly used in the framework of social inequity, mainly in regard to ethnic, gender, and racial category. 1. White Privilege According to authors, the practices that make white privilege is that the political sector including healthcare organizations and school gives more source of pride to the Native Americans. The authors in their ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

When a video of SAE student chanting a racist fraternity song surfaced the internet, it was met by a different reaction from all the world (CNN). The unpopular video was put up on YouTube by an anonymous person whose motive was not known. Maybe it was for fun, or it was uploaded to make people aware that racism still exists and is here with us to stay. The student in the infamous video was thrown out of school in the middle of the night by an infuriated University of Oklahoma President David Boren. This course of action was also ...

The Reconstruction after the end of the Civil War brought with it much turmoil for white natives who felt outraged by the changes in society supporting the abolition of slavery. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan whose religious beliefs are embedded in Christianity have disliked members of the African American race, as well as those of different ethnic and religious backgrounds. As immigrants continued to enter the United States and slavery became illegal, the nativists blamed these “alien”ideas and people as being a threat to the American way of life (“Klanwatch Project of SPLC”, 2016). The major social, ...

At the forefront of the causes of the First World War was the growing sense of Nationalism among the European nations as they reacted to the “fallout” of imperialism abroad and social class conflicts at home (WWI and the Interwar Years, Part 1 3-4mins). In other words, each European power was keen to minimize its counterpart’s influence in the colonized territories and within its borders. Subsequently, one of the effects of World War I was the taint it placed on the presentation of the West as the “height of civilization”; in answer, colonized persons began to question the ...

“Burmese Days” is a powerful and thought-provoking novel written by George Orwell that presents a grim portrait of imperialism and the British Empire. In the book, Orwell neither romanticizes Burma and its people nor idealizes the imperialists. Instead, he depicts bitterness, meanness, corruption, and wickedness. Using his own experience, the author skillfully depicts the cruel circumstances and tragic outcomes in a colonial society that is based on domination and fear and is in the service of the imperialists. The protagonist of the novel, John Flory, vividly demonstrates the dark side of the ruling class, and that the imperialists did ...

The article, “The debates over placing limits on racist speech must not ignore the damage it does to its victims”, by Charles Lawrence authored in 1989 justifies the impact of limits on racist speeches on the freedom and liberties of the people in the society. In particular, the author argues that regulations and limits on speeches led to the increase in racisms and discrimination against the minorities in the society. In addition, the author claims that racial harassment imposed on the speeches of the students limited the levels of participation of the minority students in politics. Furthermore, the article ...

Incarceration

So far, the main purposes of incarceration are incapacitation, rehabilitation and integration. In the model of incapacitation, the prisoner is deterred from committing more crimes, and the security of the populace is under consideration. In the rehabilitation model, there are treatment sessions in the prison system in order to reform the prisoner, while integration has the objective of enabling prisoners to return to society such that they become productive members of it, and are able to maintain productive relations with family and acquaintances (Cole and Smith, 336).

Derogatory Terms Used as Tools for Maintaining the Privileged Status of Young White Males

In the United States of America, young white males from the middle class occupy a privileged status and therefore enjoy many benefits, such as being able to attain their goals without facing social pressures and barriers. While this group is occupies a position of power, people who fall short of any of the characteristics which would allow them to enter it, are discriminated from one or more points of view.

This paper will look at love, sex and gender within the backdrop of postmodernism, existentialism and orientalism in the novels The Women of Algiers in Their Apartment by Assia Djebar, Foam of the Daze by Boris Vian and The Lover by Marguerite Duras. In the novels love/ and sex are shown as something that a woman has no control over, something that destroys due to its intensity, and something that forever changes a person, respectively. While gender is seen as being something that disenfranchises women in a male dominant, unequal society and something that can destroy a man if ...

Yes. Nancy Grace seems to be fast in making conclusions and individual judgements. From the cases cited, Nancy seems naïve in the legal field and the way she manages vital information is extremely unprofessional. Grace used the murder of her college fiancée by a coworker to gather popularity and fame among the general public. Without even waiting for the official investigation reports to be broadcasted, she even reported that a random stranger was behind the incident. Nancy Grace doesn’t seem affected by the murder and her persistent cries for truth and justice are all in a ...

Racial inequality has always been rampant in many societies, as it is reflected in white privilege seen not only in the United States but also in Canada, Australia, Israel, and in many countries in Asia and Africa. In white privilege, there is racial advantage on the benefits of the Whites, as they enjoy greater earnings, life expectancies, and access to high-quality education and healthcare services, as compared to the Blacks. This is the effect of what is called stigma—a sociological concept that Erving Goffman developed in his book in the year 1963. Kowal (2011) repeated the words of ...

The major events of the U.S. civil rights movement from 1948 to 1970 caused a profound change in the American society and culture by challenging the White superiority myth. The success of desegregation in particular professional areas demonstrated that Blacks could also perform traditionally white activities, and even perform them better. Furthermore, the desegregation of the first schools challenged the myth of the intellectual superiority of Whites. African American students could demonstrate that they could keep up with Whites, and they could soon flourish in the public arena, to the extent that they were allowed to do so. Finally, ...

No two black leaders stand out during the civil rights movement of the 1960s as much as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. Whereas the two men were polar opposites in achieving their respective ends – equality for African Americans – they both died much too young as the result of an assassin’s bullet. Malcolm X, best known for his separatist ideology, wanted “black power”, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s integrationist ideology preached peace, and the brotherhood of all men, regardless of color – conflicting philosophies that yielded both desirable and undesirable results. Certainly, these two civil rights leaders’ ...

Abstract

Although obliged to cover issues in their entirety, with no distortions made in the process, American media tend to misrepresent the reality, as was the case with the depiction of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime implications for the social welfare possibly for political reasons. The noble cause of saving the international image of the USA formerly allied with the late leader in the wake of the Gaddafi demonization could have been the driving force of misrepresentation of the myth related in part to ethical minorities. The knowledge of non-consequentialism and its principles, whether unconsciously or otherwise, allows readers to perceive ...

One of Walt Disney’s greatest financial successes, the film has often been criticized due to its unfavorable depiction of Native Americans.

Paul Fryes discusses how the American politicians ignore the problems of the Black people as one of the largest disadvantaged groups in the world and how the Black people cannot create a response to the ignorant politicians by developing a political strategy as a group of all Black voters. As known, political parties give attention to the groups providing a financial contribution to their campaigns, the size of voters in the group, and loyalty of voters in the group. The main aim is to collect the highest possible financial support and collect most of the votes for politicians. The ...

In a video posted on July, 22 2016 comedian Mike Ward was fined $42,000 for using a disabled child as the butt of one of his jokes. ("Political Correctness Gone Too Far? - Canada.") While it is easy to agree that Ward deserved to be fined for what could be seen as an attack on a child and a disabled person. On the other side comedians argue that political correctness and thin skin have had a negative effect on doing their comedy. This is understandable as comedy has always been a way to look at the flaws of ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

Blacks were brought to America for the purpose of slavery to work for the whites. Blacks were used to enrich the whites. Every institution in early America was created for the white people and controlled by the white people. When slavery was abolished, it was replaced with segregation. This is how systemic racism originated in the United States. Systemic racism is exists in the United States and has been present since its creation by a Constitution that promoted racism. The drafters of the Constitution savagely debated the issue of slavery, not addressing the issue of placing other humans in ...

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 ...

Human beings are social creatures, and they usually co-exist in a dependence manner within a community. The individual ability to depend on community members can have a positive or a negative impact.

Introduction

Racism refers to the act of distinguishing the superiority or otherwise of members belonging to a particular race and discriminating them based on their appearance and perceived characteristics. Depending on the language and the characters that writers choose to use while writing stories, a text may propagate racism by including characters that reflect certain races as inferior while also portraying other characters perceived as representing other races as superior. Accordingly, the manner in which scholars portray racism in their stories may differ from one’s personal prejudices to the period when the story was written. Ultimately, the extent of ...

Introduction

Naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen becomes an American citizen. The Naturalization Act of 1790 was one of the first naturalization act of the United States. The act was concerned with the legalizing of citizens in the United States. This was owed to the fact that during the time, the country had different classes of people as well as people from different races. The naturalization act of 1790 paved way for discriminative and racist behavior in the American system, a concept that has continued to influence the mindset of the American people.

Is Schindler’s List Trivializing the Holocaust?

The movie, Schindler's List, has an essential place among the films about the Holocaust. The film is about a German saving almost 1300 Jewish people from the Holocaust (Leibovitz 2011). The story is a little confusing for some viewers because despite what many had learned about the Germans during the Nazi regime, it was a German who was helping the Jewish people. This implies that there was communication between the Jewish people and the Germans (Weinraub 2016). The existence of the communication between the two social groups might mean that a social solution could have developed during the Holocaust ...

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years. Characterized by segregation and violence in response to any opposition, the order came to its end. While in the transitional period, the country established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the restoration of national unity. Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

The impact of this movie is very difficult to overestimate on all subsequent movies, as almost every first American film unwittingly adopted technical and stylistic nuances of the "Birth of a Nation".

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been a controversial book since it was first published in 1885 in America. It has constantly been on library and school banning lists, and every year when the ACLU releases its reports on banned books, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn makes the list. What is most ironic about the banning of the book is that what made the book so controversial in 1885 is one of the things that makes Twain a kind of hero to literary critics and historians today, while what gets the book banned today was fully acceptable back in ...

Barack Obama has become a paradoxical figure of the United States. He is one of the most popular “lame-duck” presidents in history.

From out of the woodwork, we now have a Republican presidential candidate who is seemingly racist, who is commended by his supporters for speaking “the truth” regarding black, Hispanic and Muslim people and citizens.

Social Determinants of Health (SDH) affecting various forms of Addiction:

Poverty & Drugs: Poverty has been seen to be directly linked to addiction, mainly substance abuse. The National Bureau for Economic Research has supported this finding following its research on this particular subject. The study has even brought forward another important observation which states that poverty is not only directly related to addiction, but addiction is a cause of poverty (Yim, 2015). On one hand, when a person becomes addicted to drugs he loses his job, indulges in buying drugs and hence gets engulfed by poverty. On the other hand, poverty leads to stress and the poor people then try ...
