‘The Psychological Legacy of Slavery’ is the title of Chapter 1. The chapter discusses a type of slavery that is invisible but very powerful. The author Dr. Na’im Akbar explains that slavery lasted three centuries and still affects contemporary African Americans. I agree that for the psychology of people something as traumatic as slavery must leave psychological scars on the group of people who were slaves, even several generations after the legal end of slavery. After the Civil War nothing was done to help the former slaves adjust to their new lives as free men and women. Nothing ...

It is exclusive to American culture that the everyday life of Americans is influenced by different forms of entertainment to a significant extent. It can be argued that entertainment would not have manifested itself as a driving force in American culture if ...

A reading of Wakatsuki Houston’s Farewell to Manzanar and Melba Pattillo Beals’ Warriors Don't Cry reveals that racial prejudice in the twentieth-century societies of the United States was against anybody who was not Caucasian. In other words, while Houston’s work focuses on the Japanese-Americans’ experiences after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the internment that came after, Beals talks of black segregation and the laws that declared black people inferior to the whites. Hence, there are similarities between the two books as they revolve around ideas of white supremacy that placed persons of African and Japanese descent ...

Culture is one thing that we human beings all have. Conversely, different ethnic communities are associated with different cultures. This is in most cases an added advantage as diversity caused by the different cultures is usually one that contributes to the fun in life. In the case that we all had the same cultures, then there would be nothing to learn. We would be waking up in the same routine day in day out and, in the long run, life would be rather boring. However, with the diversity created by the vast number of ethnical groups, it becomes fun ...
