White Privilege in America

Despite it being an apparent long-standing marvel to individuals of color and as well white individuals, most people stereotypically and strongly oppose the issue of white privilege. Many a times, the situation becomes difficult when it involves individuals holding divergent views that are diametrically opposed to one party. Picture a situation where the individual or individuals in the discussion oppose even the most rudimentary elements of the discussion. At this moment, it is emphatically crucial to acknowledge that the theory of white privilege is indeed practical in the United States. Even at the best of ...

The rational choice theory is of the opinion that an individual acts by weighing the costs and benefits brought about by an action at the end through the use of personal advantage. As far as crime is concerned, the theory assumes that the rational decisions made by criminals to engage in any crime are made through the revision of all outcomes and possibilities. The outcomes depend on the benefits the criminals get by committing these crimes. Criminals do however consider the consequences of their actions, such as imprisonment and tread with care in the process of committing a crime. ...

Analysis of White Noise by Don DeLillo

Don DeLillo’s White Noise is a post-modern American novel that revolves around Jack Gladney; the professor and founder of Hitler studies at a Midwestern college called the College-at-the-Hill. The novel has been credited as an accurate portrayal of the American way of life. Leonard Orr (2007 7) in Don DeLillo’s White Noise: A Reader’s Guide observed that White Noise is “realistic in its portrayal of American life than his other works.” Similarly, Jayne Anne Phillips (1985 n.p) in White Noise by Don DeLillo expressed a similar sentiment when she noted that the novel was timely, “precisely ...

Introduction

While many certainly agree that white collar crime presents serious legal issues the sociological implications, regarding deviant behavior, is not always obvious. No discussion inspires a proper balance for analysis without a relevant definition of our terms. According to a ‘Sociology’ glossary, published by the McGraw-Hill Higher Education (2014) group deviance is defined as “Behavior that violates the standards of conduct or expectations of a group or society.” The same glossary defines the concept or theory ‘anomie’ as a Durkheim term for “the loss of direction felt in a society when social control of individual behavior has become ineffective” (“ ...

Introduction

Pragmatically, the deviant behaviour of white-collar criminals provides students of sociology a different exploration of how human nature works in clandestine operations in plain view. Society, at least superficially does not suspect a so-called white-collar individual of criminal behaviour in general, as stereotypes tend to lead people’s thoughts in the direction one way or another. While, the dishevelled, unkempt, anti-social “looking” individual exists as suspect of deviant behaviour by his/her mere appearance including labelled as a criminal in some regards, the white collar individual stands in society appearance wise as an upstanding citizen (Goode 2008).

Historically, the concept of white collar is not so new:

Gender relations and the experience of African American women under slavery

The period of slavery is perhaps one of the hardest periods that ancestral African American women ever faced. The hardships that African Americans faced as a result of slavery raise the question of why their white masters treated them with such cruelty and violation of human rights. This paper seeks to analyze some of the hardships that African American women faced under slavery. The analysis of the gross violation of human rights and freedoms will be analyzed critically to highlight the importance of respecting the fundamental rights of women and humanity in general.
In an effort to understand the ...

There are a variety of sources used for this research including books and a scholarly ...

The author, Ann Moody describes how it is to grow up in Mississippi as a black person from her personal life experience. Ann born in 1940 describes she grew up during Civil Rights movement where she had to live with the prejudice from whites and blacks. Discrimination was the biggest issue that affected many blacks at that time since they as seen by the whites are less superior or rather inferior to the whites. The book depicts her growing up from as young as 4yrs to the age of 24yrs which are actually the hardest times for a black ...

Junot Diaz’s “How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, White Girl, or Halfie is a story about a Dominican boy who talks about meeting and his expectations of sex with girls from different races. The story is in the form of a “How to” book; a self-help guide on what to do and what not to do on a date with a girl. But behind the simple narrative Diaz hides larger issues of identity and race. His attitude towards the different girls and their race is a result of not only his socio-economic status but also his race. Race, ...

Race, Class and Inequality: How have racial differences influenced the inequality of wealth and income between specific nonwhite groups and whites

Introduction

Right from the early beginning, we have often noticed huge differences between the whites and the non-white groups. The whites have dominated the world right from the beginning in each and every parts of the world. This has led to unequal distribution of wealth, income and healthcare services between the two communities. The whites have progressed a lot in this world. But, due to racial and ethnic differences the non-white groups have suffered a lot. As a result, ...

The terms ‘white collar crime’ and ‘tax evasion’ have precariously vacillated from the perception or classification of bonafide crime, or non-criminal acts. The slippery slope of tax evasion in relation to white collar crime sustains serious implications, historically and to the present. According to expert sources at Cornell University Law School, the definition of white collar crime is explained by giving an overview of an early incident in 1939, when sociologist Edwin Sutherland “coined” the phrase. Sutherland defined white collar crime as an act involving “crime committed by a person” who is normally tremendously respected in their line of ...

Whitewashing is a term that means to have black culture, such as rap or hip-hop, invaded and taken over by the white population. Today, many black artists are angry that white rappers are becoming famous, acting like they are black while singing and representing a false black cultural heritage. This can diminish the social importance of the messages of popular black artists by making them look like a joke. Whitewashing can have a positive side. White rappers can draw audiences to the genre of rap and black artists, introducing white people to an entire new experience with black culture. ...

IMPACT OF INTERACTIVE BOARD IN MATHEMATICS CLASSROOM

INTRODUCTION.
Amongst the areas that technological innovations and improvements apply is in classrooms. The growth of technology, and introduction of new elements of delivery of service, impacts massively on teaching and practice. Amongst the contributions of technology in most schools and classrooms include the use of interactive whiteboards (Bell, 2002). An interactive white board refers to an instructional tool that uses computer images such as writings, drawings, and slides, amongst others, displayed into a white board using a digitalized projector. Instructors, in this case, use fingers, mouse, or directly touch the white screen for manipulation or while providing explanations.

Introduction

Globalization has expanded so greatly that many developed countries throughout the world find it nearly impossible to keep employment within countries where the company resides. Globalization has corrupted many of these developed countries and there is always going to be something that can be made cheaper. Many of these major companies view this as an advantage, not noticing the negatives, and how it will affect the country in which it is located. Many of these prestigious companies that were once developed here in the United States have outsourced a majority of their blue collar, and a good percentage of ...

Background and Abstract

Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality not just in the United States but also in other developed and developing countries. Moreover, the cost of addressing the medical and health care needs of patients diagnosed with hypertension are often serious; and when that gets coupled with the high volume of patients being diagnosed with the disease, the effects of the problem on health, on a national level, would be magnified. Patients diagnosed with hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure) had to undergo a thorough screening procedure that may include regular blood pressure measurement, electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG), ...

Chapter: The Whiteness of Black Disney Princesses – The Princess and the Frog as Acceptable White Ideal for African-Americans in Childrens’ Media
When it comes to race, representation in Disney princess films is rare; until now, there are only a few non-white Disney princesses, and most of them are whitewashed and their cultural attributes hidden. Over the course of the Disney princess line, several trends can be seen about race and culture – minority cultures are often shown in negative ways. In most popular culture, the lack of representation of black characters is clear – while representation is increasing, “diverse and accurate ...

The Depiction of Slaves in Novels and Stories, and its Significance
The narratives in novels and stories depict the lives of slaves from erstwhile era in different perspectives. The White Americans presented a fabricated picture of the reality, whereas, the autobiographies and stories from black slaves depicted the true conditions in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The novels and stories about slavery and the depiction of slaves were fairly done by the former slaves and therefore, they made a significant contribution to American literature by provoking debates on racism and social injustice. This research will also examine the significance ...

The Irish Department of Justice and Equality defines organised crime as “as an element of criminal activity carried out by criminal organizations that have as their main purpose the commission of one or more serious offences in order to obtain, directly or indirectly, financial or other material benefits.” When comparing organized crime to white-collar crime it immediately becomes obvious that these areas of crime over lap. One way that white-collar crime differs from organized crime is the organization itself, which can also involve individuals, companies or very ad hoc groups. . While some of the entities that commit white-collar crime ...

The white privilege

In several situations, people have found or felt that they were inferior to other people contrary to the reality. As a result, they have felt discriminated by such people. In a society, some people benefit from unearned advantages that are equally unacknowledged amounting to the feeling they are superior to others. In simple terms, the idea of such people feeling they have such advantages over others is what constitutes privilege. In his study, Johnson (2001) describes a privilege as what allows people to assume a certain level of acceptance, inclusion and respect, therefore, operating in a relatively wide comfort ...

Introduction

When the European settlers came to North America, it was already inhabited by an indigenous group of people. In the 19th century white Americans came with the idea of Manifest Destiny and in order to realize their idea of possessing the entire continent of North America, they began removing Native Americans from their ancestral homeland into reserved territories for the Indians. The US government initiated the One Big Reservation policy in 1851 and according to this policy Native Americans were to shift into 'One Big Reservation' but the constant migration of European settlers, the evolution of transportation technology which ...

Most people perceive race as only the color of ones skin; many people do not consider that being racial is not really about how a person looks but in essence it is about the how the society views different races and the opportunities and privileges associated with each race. Race is normally about the eyes, hair or even skin color.

Despite the illusion about racial characteristics, the condition is very real. The values associated with each race have been in existence throughout history. It is not really a personal matter but a political and economic vice as everyone desires ...

The Ryan White Program is controlled by ...

The definition white person is dynamic idea depending on the geographical differences and historic context. This then makes it difficult for one to identify himself or herself with white as a race. The concept has been applied with various degrees of internal consistency and formality with a function as color metaphor for race. However, the concept has been used with a wide degree of variation as several scholars and socialist use the word as a race while others use it as skin color identification. The definition of the word white is not enough to identify the people referred to ...

Introduction

Asked to stereotype a criminal, many people are likely to go for a certain gender (usually male), a certain social class (usually low class), a certain race (usually black) and a certain age (usually under the age of 30). In the early days, courtrooms exclusively comprised of white decision makers. Today there is more racial diversity in the composition of judicial benches. In spite of this progress; race, class and gender still play a critical role in numerous criminal justice outcomes. The role of these issues usually comes in handy in the sentencing of convicts. More than 40 studies ...

The Reconciliation of Opposites

We should not forget that Not Without Laughter is, above all things, a bildungsroman (Schultz, p.44), and Hughes presents its protagonist, Sandy, growing up and developing, and slowly beginning to make sense of American society, of himself and of what he wants to do in life. As Sandy matures he is faced with various choices about how to live his life, and he becomes acutely aware of certain oppositions in the novel. Furthermore, Hughes himself presents further oppositions almost all of which stem from the racist society in which Sandy lives or, if they occur within the African American ...

The White Race, also known as Caucasian, refers to any of the human beings distinguished by a light pigmentation of the skin. In general, the term white is used to denote a set of ethnic groups composed mainly of European ancestry.

Introduction

The reconstruction period of the south began after the end of the civil war in 1863 to 1877. The reconstruction was started by the radical republican leaders who wanted to abolish slavery and wanted to unite the nation. President Abraham Lincoln wanted the reconstruction to happen at a faster rate so as to unify the people after the civil wars. He started the ten percent plan which went into effect in some states. This plan was not approved by the radical republicans. This brought about the formation of the Wade Davis bill in 1864 which was considered to be ...

In the 1930s the economic situation was bad for poor people all over the United States. There was no work for men or for women. Hoboing, also called riding the rails, was a common method of traveling for people with no money who were looking for work. People jumped onto moving trains then climbed into an empty freight train box; that is unless they were lucky enough to sneak on while the train was at a stop. A lot of traveling was done this way by people looking for jobs so they could afford to eat.

The Anti-Lynching Campaign of Ida B Well

There was a time when black people were discriminated against. They were thought of not to measure to the standards of the white person. The white people ruled over the other people. They were subjected to hard labour and human rights did not seem to exist for them. They were harshly treated and sometimes even killed for wrong or no reasons at all. They did not have anybody to help them fight for their rights. During the 1880s to mid 1890s, there were numerous cases reported indicating that some of the African-Americans were subjected violent activities that were observed ...

Lena Dunham’s article “Whitewashing on the Small Screen” about the discrimination between white and non- white culture in the media, especially in television programs, is indeed relevant today. The mass media produced in the U.S., as Dunham displays in her brief article, continues to be a reflection of White views regarding non-White communities. Since the dominant white culture in America seeks to subjugate non-white culture, so it constantly strives to expand its dominance while fending off challenges and interventions from non-white classes and groups (Dates 6).
Today, reproduction of the ideological dominance of the white culture in American ...

Abstract

White Collar Crimes may have different definitions, but it is accepted that these crimes came into existence with the dawn of an industrialist and consumerist society. Present day criminology in general rejects a restraint of the term “White Collar Crime” by reference; rather it categorizes the form and motive of the crime. Following is a discussion of two kinds of White Collar Crimes, Environmental crime and Bribery.

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 ...

Since the early colonial period, Black Americans or those with African or Black descent were persecuted by the whites. The United States, for example, had sold Black Americans or those with half African descent as slaves and restricted them in such extent that they were refused food, shelter and the right to fight for their rights as regular citizens of the United States. Although there were movements that fought for the abolishment of slavery and the establishment of equal rights, many still held the sentiment against the Black Americans or the African-Americans throughout the region in the early 1970s. ...

Heyrman Christine Leigh’s “Southern Cross: The Beginnings of the Bible Belt” goes hand in hand with Greenberg Kenneth’s concepts on the depiction of southern men. Both texts present the structural relationship between the social elites and those considered to be at the bottom of the societal pyramid. In this case, slaves held the last place as per the laws by the white people. Heyrman points out that the turn of the century brought changes that shook the south and said changes did not have the perfect qualities that have ...

Analysis of “Stranger in the Village”

Part 1.

The black man insists, by whatever means he finds at his disposal, that the white man cease to regard him as an exotic rarity and recognize him as a human being. This is a very charged and difficult moment, for there is a great deal of will power involved in the white man’s naivete. Most people are not naturally reflective any more than they are naturally malicious, and the white man prefers to keep the black man at a certain human remove because it is easier for him thus to preserve his simplicity and avoid being ...

Critique of E. B. White’s “Once More to the Lake”
White uses nostalgia in his comparisons of his memories as a boy and his experience as an adult in examination of the form of arrival – farm wagon vs. car; beverages at the local store – Coke vs. sarsaparilla; and boating on the lake – inboard vs. outboard motors. Throughout his remembrances however, White maintains a tone of guarded surprise that so many things remained the same, as they were when he had visited as a child. However, as the writer Epstein observes that a phrase “inexplicably sunny inclinations” as noted ...

White people think that racism is non-existent because there are people in power who are black, influential, and successful people of color. However, this is not the case because there are more poor people who are black in the country. Bob states that there is no racism in the country because of President Obama, Oprah and Beyonce among others who are in power. However, Desmond has held this to be a fallacy because it is a misconception. This is referred to as Tokenistic fallacy where a person may be held tokenistic because they assume that the presence of people ...

The Chinese opera The White-haired Girl which was created in the 1940s and based on a folktale achieved a great success in Yan’an. Because of its big following, this story was further adapted to a film in the 1950s, and to a ballet in the 1960s. With the evolution of different versions, The White-haired Girl had gradually transformed from being a fantastic folk legend into a national myth concentrating on class, liberation, and revolution. In order to understand and explore such transformation, this paper will utilize the story’s 1945 opera edition, its 1950 film version, and its ...

How Religion Was Affected with Slaves before the Civil War

Introduction
At the beginning of American slavery, before the Civil War, either Christianity was forced upon the African slaves or it was denied completely. The white man's religion gave purpose to American domestic religious missionaries in their intent to Christianize the earliest of slaves predominantly in the southern states.
Numbers of the white slave masters believed allowing slaves any type of religion gave them, unwanted ideas about autonomy and thus, made them troublesome, lazy, and therefore, the slave masters would beat any slave professing their Christian beliefs. Holding secret gatherings to practice their religion – Christian or the numerous types ...

Introduction

Colonialism refers to the practice of domination of one race upon another through conquests. Colonization refers to the European settlers taking lands by force from non-European people. The word colonialism has frequently been associated with the description of European settlement in North America, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Canada and places which were under the subjugation of European settlers. German scholar Jurgen Osterhammel described colonialism as "a relationship of domination between an indigenous majority and a minority of foreign invaders" (Nielsen & Robyn, 2003). Though colonizing states like New Zeland, Australia, Canada and the United States vary in their cultures, economies, ...

The study of critical mixed theory is not only a complex field of study, but also a field that must be examined in a multidimensional view. The mixed race theory entangles itself with political, social, and economic implication in the study of racial identities and the ‘race problem’. People with a multiracial background may experience difficulties in identifying with a particular class of people. This is because racial identities give a person the sense of belongingness. Moreover, one tends to develop a sense of self that is crucial to self-acceptance. However, even where there is a defined mixed race, ...

The white-headed capuchin is an animal that is usually active during the day and inhabits trees (Emmons, 1997). It, however, goes down to the ground frequently than other monkeys (Morris & Bruce, 2005). It locomotes primarily through walking on all four limbs. It resides in groups, or troops, of about 40 monkeys and its ratio of male to female adult sex, is 71 on average. With unusual exceptions, females pass their whole lives with their female colleagues. Males move to new social groups many times throughout their lifetimes, moving for the first time between the first 20 months and 11 ...

John White’s watercolours and De Bry’s engravings

Introduction:
The failed colony at Roanoke in 1585 was a disastrous mission yet it brought about some interesting observations on Indian life which would be useful again in the future. Nothing is more intriguing as a finding from this mission than the sets of watercolours on Indian life by John White and the resultant engravings made by De Bry which provide for a striking comparison. They also include much detail although that can appear to be also the imagination of both artists but on the whole the pictures are a valuable document of Indian life at a time when ...

This work is about the analysis and comparison of two literary works: a short story, and a poem. The short story is titled “Little Snow-White” by The Brothers Grimm, translated by Margaret Taylor in 1884. On the other hand, the poem is titled “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by Anne Sextons. Both the works describe a similar event: the story of a little princess.

In summary, both the poem and the short story talk about a little princess. In the short story, the little princess is referred to as the “Little Snow-White.” This name she got from her ...

Abrstract

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 ...
