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 Continue reading...

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. Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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” (“ Continue reading...

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:

Edwin Sutherland created Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

Chapter: The Whiteness of Black Disney Princesses – The Princess and the Frog as Acceptable White Ideal for African-Americans in Childrens’ Media

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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).

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...
