The dissertation will also include the questions about the research on a given ...

The development of African American drama can be traced back to the slave-trade era. As more slaves integrated, they developed a certain artistic approach to all their activities. However, it is after World War II that African American dramatists started to emerge openly and without any fear of prejudice and discrimination. Dramatists like William Blackwell emerged as the pioneers for African American drama and they created a foundation which was to be followed by many other dramatists from the African American race (Harris 10). Although the theatres had been dominated by white actors and play writers, the end of the war ...

Interpretation of Findings

There are several pertinent results that arise from this study. One significant aspect that arises is the presence of Fear of Success (FOS) syndrome. This is debilitating and can lead to a great deal of barriers to advancement for African Americans at a core level. While it may not be directly correlated, this may have something to do with the elements of negative bias that are present for African American men and women versus those of other races. Being stereotyped constantly and receiving different treatment cause a lot of tension and frustration caused for African Americans on a whole.

This plays into ...

After the end of the Civil war in the year 1865, much of the land of the South fell prey of the destruction of the war. The need of the reconstruction of the South was an evident fact. The plan of reconstruction of the South was ...

Despite the fact that the United States history has serious experience gained from the American Civil War till the famous speech of Martin Luther King, our society is still harmed by presence of destructive ideas of social inequality and division not by the social position or character, but by ethnicity and therefore skin color. This problem is one of the most painful for the contemporary American nation as it is the boundary on the way to social progress and development. It divides our society and creates imaginary warfare and the set of senseless conflicts.

For sure, it has ...

Identify a Culturally Diverse Population within Your Community

Attaining cultural competency is one of the major goals of health care institutions in United States. Achieving this goal creates a greater challenge to U.S. health care sector because of the higher numbers of diverse patients and health care providers. Moreover, most health care centers spend time serving diverse populations, which are associated with conflicts and violence among health care providers reducing the nature of patient care offered by medical professionals. Culturally diverse populations suffer high risks of poor physical, social and psychological health and often never get access to quality health care (Galanti, n.d).

Sub cultural groups based on age, race, creed, ethnicity and religious bias carry their importance in many ways in a multiethnic society. These groups tend to have their intrinsic characteristics which shape up their life styles, consumer behaviors and marketing preferences, to an appreciable extent, if not completely. With the passage of time, the shadows casted by the culture of origin tend to decrease upon the immigrants, though certain aspects, woven into their very fabric, continue to stand firm. The phenomenon however is more complex than it may seem (Solomon, M. R., 2002).

Sexual orientation is an issue that has been topic of discussion over the world with it being accepted in some communities and rejected in others.

Were the goals of Radical Reconstruction feasible ones?

The major goal of passing the 13th Amendments that was to allow 4 million slaves’ freedom and was one of the goals of the radical reconstruction under the advanced policies of President Lincoln and President Johnson. The reconstruction begun from 1865 to 1877 that involved the federal will that brought the south in submission and protected the African American civil rights. This was one of the feasible one; the reconstruction was important to reunify the country and to establish the first constitutional steps for equality of white and black citizens ...

In recent years, there has been concern over the rising numbers of violent crimes in the United States. Crime statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI 2011) indicate that 58% of murder victims are youthful African Americans. The trend is estimated to rise since in 2011, the prevalence was 58% which was 8% more than it was in 2007. Young men and boys of color are therefore the most vulnerable populations when it comes to violence. The photo chosen was appropriate to this issue because it addresses the concern that the African American community has over the rampant ...

The Harlem Renaissance marks a phase in the black American civilization, where the black race coined a significant identity in the pursuit of self-emancipation. The events cascading this pertinent era is reminiscent of the Negro movement in the City of New York. The period tells of a time laden with turmoil amid a major initial world war. The early 1920s and 30s saw the outburst of civility and the demand for equal rights from the origin of races. Perhaps the cornerstone of this movement revolved around the great migration of African Americans to the urban areas (North) from their rural confines (South). This ...

It is almost conventionally accepted that color is so powerful that everyone sees the world through the lens of color. People see each other and evaluate them by how they look Black, Hispanic, Asian or Caucasian and make a judgment that are absolute on the authenticity of race. However, how many people ever realize that race is just, but a social construct? Scholars such as Ruth Frankenberg have stated in the book “The Social Construction of Whiteness, White Women, Race Matters” on how powerful and critical race plays a role in life. The common practice of passing ethnicities as if they ...

One of the people who are referred to as heroes is certainly Rosa Parks, whose name is equaled with African American plight for egalitarianism. Her calm and peaceful persona allowed her to accept all the unfairness African Americans were subjected to, but one time she had to step up and remain seated on a bus. This proved to be the catalyst of the already ongoing plight for equality, and after Rosa Parks’ ordeal, the African American community became even more fervent in their struggle for freedom.

True heroes are those who do not hurt others in their endeavor, who persevere ...

The history of the American civil rights movement would be incomplete without the mention of two pivotal names – Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Both men were Americans of African origin who lived at a time when apartheid still had its nails dug deep into the American society’s flesh. They started movements, inspired a people and stood by their beliefs and principles till they died. While both men were active in the civil rights movement about the same time and had immense following among the people, their leadership style, personality and beliefs varied greatly.

Nobody hates looking at women’s funny character in movies. Something that mulvey well put across. The conditions of watching a move in the cinema gives authority to a voyeuristic spectatorship. All spectators are chirping characters taking pleasure and watching others while they remain unseen. In other fields, feminists have identified voyeurism as violence that is because of gender. The chirping character is most often a man-watching female without her knowledge. Most of the funny erotic scenes, you find a woman fully exposing her body and private parts but never will you find a man doing so. The power of the man’s look ...

Racism has been a major problem in the societal milieu of the United States of America for the past times. The country has had a dark history of racial discrimination, slavery, lynching of black people, struggle for racial equality, right to vote, and so on. However, all that is written in the pages of history as the present era has ensured that there is no such racial discrimination in the society of the nation. On an apparent level, America has moved much forward from the dark chapters of racial clashes and subjugation of communities based on their racial and ethnic identity. ...

Racial discrimination remains an ongoing experience for a minority group in the America, despite the enactment of the civil right act that declared the racial discrimination illegal. Not only is the perception of racial bias damaging socially, but also new evidence indicates that the experience of racism may be detrimental to health care in the America. Currently, the racial groups are constructed to demonstrate the diversity in status, power, and resources. Racial classification is mainly experienced within the US context, African-American have been on the bottom while whites remain on top. Racism is reflected via the idea that inferiority is ...

Even though slavery significantly limited the ability of Africans Americans to exercise their cultural traditions, a values, beliefs and beliefs subsisted and with time have fused rudiments of European American philosophy. African American have been subjected to various instances of racial prejudice on the basis of their culture. In fact, there are certain facades of African American culture, which have emerged and been made protuberant as a result of slavery. These façades include their dressing codes and language. Cohorts of hardships levied on the African American society shaped unique language patterns. The slave masters always intentionally mixed individuals who ...

This has enabled her to publish a book with first-hand information that is not biased. Over the last few decades, the essential meaning of gender and sex had been transformed to mean something different apart from its actual meaning. Racial discrimination was ...

Question 1

“Through history, the powers of single black men flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness” (DuBois 13). This statement by W.E.B DuBois captures the power of his book in attempting to change the mindsets of African Americans about their self worth relative to those of people from other races. It is a statement rich in rhetoric because it contains a symbol and simile where black men are likened to flashing fallings stars to indicate the plight of even the brightest of black men. African Americans have fallen prey to rhetoric ...

Introduction

African American literature was born at the end of the 18th century, during the period when the African American people were still going through slavery. Slaves were seen to be less than human and not able to study sciences or arts. White Philosophers during this time viewed slaves as inferior including those that wrote The Norton Anthology of African American Literature (Nellie McKay and Henry Louis Gates Jr.) as well as Immanuel Kant and David Hume. The philosophers noted that the African American people, nicknamed as ‘Negroes’ by then were inferior to the white people, and they did not ...

- Introduction and Thesis Statement Sociologists believe that both deviance and race are things that have been socially constructed in the society and have been embedded in people’s way of life (Innes, 2003, p.34). Deviance attributes to the actions of one defiling the social norms engrained in the society, which causes one to be marginalized in a given society. Race is also a social construct of the society based on one’s phenotype, which often results to the stereotypes of certain people in the society (Lemelle, 1995, p.56). This paper will discuss how race impacts deviance behavior and sparks a ...

Same sex marriage has become a polarizing issue in both state and national politics as well as religious platforms. In the United States alone, fourteen states including California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington among others, states have legalized same sex marriages either through court decisions, state legislations or through popular votes. Research also reveals that voters in about 10 states in the United States of America passed state constitutional amendments defining marriage as the relationship between one woman and one man. However, some other states such as Alabama, Arizona, Alaska, Kentucky, and Missouri among several others have banned same ...

The ruling in this case was ground-breaking. It was made by the supreme court of the United States. It overturned previous rulings dating back to Plessy v Ferguson (1896). There was increased cases of segregation on racial grounds in most states of the United States before 1952. For instance, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kansas. Even though the African American and the Whites were provided with equal facilities by the law, the enjoyment of the facilities was under separate conditions. For instance, they used different buses and went to different schools. The victory of the case resulted in the abolishment ...

Introduction

In several instances, in the history of United States, African Americans have been referred to as African, Afro-American, Negros as well as blacks. The portion of the African American population which is of completely African ancestry is not known. This is mainly because, over the past 300 years, racial mixture has considerably taken place in the United States between persons of various descents such as Europeans and the Indians. It’s been, however, considered historically that any person with black African ancestry in the United States is African American. It is however, important to note that physical characteristics, as ...

For a long time, black people together with their culture were grossly marginalized,l and their literature attracted little attention from the mainstream film and literature industry. This led to the emergence of black literature that championed for the social justice and equality in the country. It was a cry of recognition and the need of equality. The African American film criticism and commentaries were marginalized in both popular and scholarly histories and critical reevaluation as noted by the author of ‘Returning the Gaze’. The exclusion of black critics in the mainstream led to an explosion of black American press ...

Toni Morrison an American novelist who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for being a winner. She became popular for her novels that have epic themes as well as greatly detailed characters. Tony Morrison has only published “Recitatif”- a short story exploring the way the relationship between Roberta and Twyla is shaped due to their racial difference. The author did not specify which of these girls is white or black (Li-li 812). It is, therefore, important to de-code the racial identity that each of these characters has in order to find out how each race is characterized ...

Based on recent studies there is a correlation between child maltreatment and culture and ethnicity. Research indicates that child sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect are the most common forms of child maltreatment. However, childhood sexual abuse is the most common form of abuse among the Latinos with rates of almost 8%, which is higher than the childhood sexual abuse among the African Americans and the Asians. Additionally, childhood sexual abuse between the Chinese is lower than for the U.S children. This is because of the conservative Chinese cultural norms that discourage sexual activity at an early age. Child ...

African Americans in the United States comprise the second largest ethnic group in the United States. The African American history stretches as far back as the 16th century when Africans were captured and sold to the American plantations in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. After the United States of America became independent, African Americans continued to be enslaved. They were mistreated economically, socially and politically. The constitution of United States at independence stated that an African American was three fifths of a person. Anti-miscegenation rules were enacted in various states to prohibit interracial marriages. Interracial sex was also criminalized with harsh ...

Why was there an absence of major slave rebellion in America?

Slavery in America was a legal institution that existed in the 18th and 19th century. It is great that in the 21st century, humanity can squarely face 19th century slavery. Nonetheless, it is also upon everybody to acknowledge the contemporary versions of slavery in the world beginning from our homestead. The current form of slavery is not as defined as it was in the olden days. During those days slaves were characterized by a number of cultures. The slave culture embodied elements of African and Christian cultures or values. Slavery also largely dependent on the systematic dehumanization and the dehumanization process ...

History has proven the close proximity of coexisting ethnic races has been and remains at a minimum a potentially incendiary situation. The United States of America’s 1906-1921 era surrounding World War I is absolutely no exception to this putative unwritten law of human nature and affords numerous race riot examples to demonstrate these difficulties. The riots that occurred in Atlanta (1906), Omaha and Chicago (1919), and Tulsa (1921) patently evince the brewing racial tensions between Whites and African Americans that exploded-precipitated and fueled by hatred, baseless fear, false accusations, malicious rumors, and innuendo-into riots, leaving in their wakes death, destruction, ...

Social Justice, Equality and Ferguson

Social justice is a form of correction for the daily injustices so many minorities and underprivileged people deal with in their daily lives. It recognizes the need for a system which ensures each individual is allowed the right to live a life free of discrimination; be it sexual, religious or racial. Oftentimes social justice finds itself brought to the forefront due to a particular incident which epitomizes many of the issues central to this definition. Incidents which demonstrate exactly how inequity and prejudice are perpetuated in our societies. The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri has been one such hot ...

Feminist therapy has an aim of bringing about change in the society by addressing issues such as gender and racial discrimination. Individuals who feel that they are discriminated against by the society may suffer from depression and eventually the society may have some unwanted behavior as the individuals try to find solace in other activities. Feminine therapy is not limited to women, but even men can use it to overcome the social and gender role constraints such as demand for strength, competition, and autonomy. The therapy contends that women are the most disadvantaged members of the society when it ...

It was the 1920s. Slavery was over. African American people were moving by the hoards to the Midwest and the Northeast in search of a better, more equal life. The life everyone deserves. Many of the landed in a neighborhood north of central park in Manhattan known as Harlem. Once there, something magical happened. There was a burst of life—art and music were pouring out of this and other black communities that spanned as far as the Caribbean populations in Paris. While this decade is now lovingly referred to as the Jazz Age, it is the art of the Harlem Renaissance ...

However, restoring the South will cost millions of dollars, and the budgets of the state government exploded. Protests against the imposition of new taxes, antagonism on the empowerment of former “black” slaves, and apprehensions of “black power” triggered violent attacks against African-Americans by former Confederate elements. President Johnson foolishly disrupted the victory of his political enemies with his belligerent stance. This drove the conservative bloc in the Republic Party “into the arms” of the more progressive sector in the party. In the formerly Confederate states, the Republic Party assumed the mantle of control and restructured the state ...

1. What is Civil Disobedience? How did Thoreau utilize this process? What was he protesting against? What is his critique of American society? How was his idea practiced in other movements? Henry David Thoreau asserts that people should not allow the government to atrophy and overrule their conscience. The government has to govern the least. In fact, a government that does not govern at all tend to be the best (Thoreau 99). Civil disobedience refers to nonviolent resistance and the need to prioritize personal conscience over what is dictated by law. In most cases, civil disobedience entails active and ...

Introduction

Simply put, popular culture also known as pop culture refers to perspectives, attitudes, ideas, images, phenomena and memes that are contained in the cultural mainstream. The advent of pop culture was most pronounced in the Western culture of the 20 the century. The same is also being accentuated in the global mainstream that has become prominent in the 20th and 21st century. Popular culture has therefore suffused mass media and is readily manifested in the day-to-day lives within the society. In most cases, popular culture may betray the perspectives or representations of race and race relations in a particular society ...

For many years, critics of gangsta hip hop have argued that this genre of music has created a negative cultural movement. Among the areas where hip-hop has influenced negative culture is on sexuality. Sexuality especially among the African American youth has been negatively influenced by hip-hop music. It is unfortunate that African American, who are dominant in this genre, are the worst affected by this culture. It is important to note that most African American people in America are living under poor economic conditions. In addition, most of them face numerous challenges in their daily life. Some of the worst ...

Criminal Law is a branch of specialization under the head of the Law school or university that deals with crimes and proscribes in the defense of whatever that is threatening, harmful or is a danger to the society in matters of yielding damage to property, jeopardize health and security and tampers the moral and ethical well-being of the people (Norman, 78). The criminal behavior is enthusiastically dealt with by the Public international law. The conducts may be in such a way that they extremely disturb the ways of living of the human. People may consider this as shallow, but this is a ...
