All pertains to race, but the race is not relevant. The mentioned was a statement of Chavez. Myriad horrific happenings in the United States history refer to a common understanding and knowledge. However understanding the history coupled with making the right connections of the said history, thereby, instilling relevance to it is vital. In the past, the Native Americans suffered significant racial discrimination. The mentioned discrimination got exercised by the white Americans. Subsequently, racism is often a hindrance to justice and freedom. In his book, Chavez aimed at enlightening the people and assisting in solving the mentioned menace that engulfed the United States. The paper, therefore, endeavors to extrapolate on the racism in the United States with an assessment of Chavez, childhood Indians. Additionally, it aims at establishing the significance of the book in the United States curriculum.
Categorically, Chavez, in his Childhood Indian explicitly tries to elucidate on the racial atrocities that the white committed to the natives of the state. Critically, Chavez used films in connecting the past and the present. The cited connection was to come up with a depicted discrimination that was persistent in the United States. In his film, Chavez exemplified how the imposed Indians got used to represent the real Indians. The challenges that the Indians underwent in the movie or rather film geared towards explaining the discrimination that was intense in the native land of the United States. In the process of showing the film, Chavez aimed at controlling the American society from racially discriminating against color. In the film, Chavez explains that it was sarcastic in depicting some natives or rather Indians as more authentic and endowed with respected roles. Chavez explains that it was a measly contemporary mimicry of the Indians in the American culture (Chavez 124). Childhood Indians also strived to clarify on the delicate matters that the media spread. The cited media implemented the use of propaganda in disseminating information to the people. The mentioned information regarded the cited racial discrimination. With reference to discrimination, childhood Indians provided a clear and direct roadmap to the white sub-conscience. The white sub conscience connotes to the ill behaviors of the Americans who also vehemently denied the existence of racism. In his expression of racism, the book Childhood Indians by Chavez got very complicated. Through the civil rights movement, in his book, Chavez determinately asserts that racism got controlled.
However, the assessment of Chavez, childhood Indians was marred by certain elements that crucially challenged his view. Chavez connected past element with the present to enhance the real act of racism. The mentioned connection was inaccurate. Reasonably, history change and, therefore, by relating the past and present racial acts meant that Chavez accuracy on Childhood Indian was compromised. Categorically, information relayed through televisions and films often tend to exaggerate situations. Agreeably, films or television programs tend to deviate from certain norms. By the connection of film actions with real life to explain racism, Chavez view was worth questioning. Subsequently, his theory on the title white sub-conscience establishes myriad concerns about other white citizens who are not Americans. The mentioned whites claim that by general inclusion of the theory to all the whites, it would be extremely awkward and insensitive. Therefore, a proposal was made to modify the theory from the title white sub conscience to the title American sub-conscience. Chavez, Childhood Indian claims that the roles awarded to native Indian movies was mimicry of the contemporary perceptions of the American natives (IPJ n.p). The suggested was unrealistic because, in the contemporary American culture, racism has declined significantly. Through the depiction of natives as more authentic, it would be comprehensible evidence that the Americans have greatly changed in their culture and racial behavior. Chavez, childhood Indians, asserted that racism was such a complex and complicated issue. The mentioned was untrue because, by the alignment of all the racism issues on a clear format, it seemed to be simple with vivid guidelines on how to handle racism. Therefore, the complexity that Chavez assumed instigated much concern about an issue that was clear and direct. Prevalently, through the use of films and televisions to illustrate the racial atrocities, I would conclude that Chavez, Childhood Indians may have brainwashed the people on this delicate matter of racism.
Unequivocally, Chavez, Childhood Indians got implemented in the curriculum for study of United States history. The whole reason of United States past being on the all-purpose education and learning curriculum gets geared towards comprehensive understanding of the historical past. Essentially, learning from the past is vital. The mentioned past predominantly assists in avoiding a reciprocated mistake of the past. Additionally, through the study of the past, it would significantly help in grasping knowledge with regards to why things are at present. Chavez book Childhood Indians perfectly designed enhances creation of a balanced mind coupled with improved humanity. In his theory of white sub-conscience, individuals would have the capability of making and obtaining professional decisions, thereby, commencing the evolution of the world into a better and pleasant future. Childhood Indians gets to expound an individual’s knowledge from just comprehending little about history, but also, being part of the history. Through the study of childhood Indians, an individual would establish the relevant change towards the implementation of justice. Typically, Childhood Indians acts as a suspension bridge to perfectly knowing and critically caring. Moreover, the cited book becomes an array of light bonding the dots to the myriad whys (Chavez 217). Therefore, Childhood Indians is an imperative volume for United States accounts, providing a theory to the reasons why individuals exercise racist actions. Additionally, it surpasses the effects from the past to the contemporary. The mentioned get achieved through assessment of the film, television, and comprehending the white sub-conscience. Childhood Indians book by Chavez is conclusively an essential resource for the curriculum in the United States.
In conclusion, the Native Americans massively suffered racial discrimination. Childhood Indian by Chavez significantly aided in the understanding of the painful racial past. Chavez categorically analyzed the past despite the relevant critiques on his work. Through comprehension of the past, the future is often certain. Racism is an ailment that ought no space in any society. In his article, the rationale behind racism needed an in-depth evaluation to the future. Racism is a killer disease that only instigates insecurity and sufferings and should, therefore, get eradicated. Most importantly, Childhood Indians got its way in the United States as a relevant material in studying of the America’s past. Also, the book aided in the comprehension of why particular actions occur and the relevant means of encountering the undesired events. In his assessment, it is worth complementing and appreciating. Racism is notably irrelevant.
