Holocaust is derived from the Greek language and it means “kill by fire." The holocaust saw the death of more than six million Jews. In 1933, before the holocaust, the population of the Jews stood at nine million. This essentially means that about two thirds of the Jewish population was destroyed. The perpetrators of this massacre were the Nazis and their collaborators. They spared no one - not even women and children. Nowhere in the world has such a big group of people be killed over such a short period. The Nazis were of the view that Germans were racially superior ...

‎Introduction

Literature tackles significant themes that relate to social issues and situations. Some of them are relevant in helping us understand human nature or explore life during specific periods in history. Nadine Gordimer's "Country Lovers" and Patricia Smith’s "What it's like to be a Black Girl” illustrate both concepts, such that they are different types of literature but an analysis of these two focuses on human nature in relation to the influence of a specific period of history, specifically during the decades that racism was prevalent in different parts of the world. Moreover, both literary works show the impact of racism ...

Psychology of Racism

Psychology of Racism
There is hardly an ideology, more discredited than racism. But there is hardly an ideology or, at least, the mindset, that is more common than racism. Racial discrimination in the United States has deep historical roots and, in fact, is the same age as the country. Society, founded by white people, has always had negative attitude towards people with different skin color: Indians – Native Americans and blacks.
Racial segregation in the United States has officially existed since 1865, with the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery. As examples of racism ...

Jane Austen is known as one of the greatest novelists from England. Born in 1775, it is no surprise that her novels are still in print. She is best known for writing pride and prejudice.

She published this book back when a female’s entrance into the public eye was considered was considered not very lady like.

Hate Crimes: Definitions and Introduction

A “hate crime” are “criminal actions intended to harm or intimidate people because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or other minority group status,” as listed in the works of Herek (1989) and Levin and McDevitt (1993). In the 1990s, the issue of hate crimes, or “bias crimes,” has generated rising attention from activists, policy makers, and social analysts. Much of the amplified concern has displayed an inference in that all criminal activities have adverse impacts for the victim, bias crimes must be considered as a unique case owing to their heightened effects on the victim of the crime ...

Introduction

Reverent Dr. Susan Brook, a professor in theology, in Chicago theological seminary, states in her blog that one hug is not enough to end racism in the United States of America (D'Souza 16). This implies that despite the media publicity regarding the end of racism, there is ongoing racism in the United States and is recognized by thespians and other leaders. Despite the fact that racism is central to the history of the United States, most Americans struggle to understand the fact that the history continues to influence contemporary life. The problem with the current misunderstanding is the fact that ...

The Professor's name

Racism is a name for an ideology that considers the race as a milestone for a society, meaning that by belonging to one race, one's position in a society is determined. Racism is sometimes defined as a belief that certain races are superior or inferior in relation with each other. Based on this definition, racism can be defined as racial intolerance. Even though, racism existed in different forms is the past, it proliferated as a separate ideology in the nineteenth century under the influence of progress in the natural sciences which gave a solid base for a scientific background. The most famous example is the anthropologists’ attempt ...

The current articles offer a critical analysis on a wider array of issues pertaining education. Precisely, the articles offer critical perspectives regarding education, which exists across different societal contexts.

Whenever I came across the word Johannesburg, many thoughts came into my mind about a city on the furthest south of Africa that is as beautiful and rich in heritage as history paints it. So much has been said, in the movies and even in history books about apartheid South Africa, the war between blacks and whites. Above all, whenever the name Nelson Mandela comes up in any for a, I normally get the picture of South Africa, and above all, its cities. I read in my history classes some time back about segregation in South Africa, how some parts of ...

Discussing Racism in the American Criminal Justice System

ASTRACT
Racism is a serious issue that is deeply imbedded in the American Criminal Justice System. In fact, unfortunately, that racism has existed and almost as long as the United States has been its own country. The presence of that racism is heavily and perpetually debated. Today we see questionable racial attitudes of law enforcement, racially motivated, policies, and disparities in criminal sentencing has only bolstered the arguments. From highly publicized cases, like Trayvon Martin in Florida and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, as well as, the strict new laws, founded on racism, in the state of Arizona. That ...

Introduction

The Holocaust, a Greek work, meaning 'killed by fire', refers to the systematic mass persecution and genocide of the Jews executed by the Nazi Party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler throughout Germany and German occupied territories across Europe. Jews were not the only victims of the holocaust, which claimed the lives of millions other including disabled people, gypsies, homosexuals and the war prisoners. Infamous for bringing the Jewish race near extermination, the holocaust accounts for the loss of the lives of "eleven million innocent victims" in total, including about 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jewish Nazi victims.

I would like to start with my own explanation of what it means for me to be a part of a community in which people with different backgrounds, religious education, traditions and even languages exist near each other. I would like to mention that I have never faced direct racism towards me but I have seen several times how the race affected the attitude towards some of the people I met in my life. Moreover, I am a very lucky person and I met very positive people in general who were interested in our cultural differences but no one ever made any ...

The present generation of ours has progressed in education, science, technology, medicine, astronomy and all the other fields that can be named. We claim to be advanced and learned than our ancestors and, as a result, we have shunned many orthodox beliefs and practices that did not fit our present day society. We have left the gramophones behind and are using micro-sized music players. No one uses horse-carts, everyone flies. We are no longer interested in ceremonies and rituals that our forefathers followed. All in all, we have evolved with time and left certain obsolete practices and retained some useful ...

Racism is a system of human waste that spoils the oppressed as well as the oppressor. It is like the spineless/boneless Ameoba proteus that can change its shape depending upon the situations and circumstances. It can range from interpersonal interactions to institutional practices. The United States is a multicultural nation in which profound and persistent racial/ethnic differences in socio-economic status, educational/occupational status, wealth and political power do exist. Racial classifications have been stipulated in the legal and social systems thoroughly. Despite the white consensus on the decline of racism, many ‘colored’ men and women face extensive racial discrimination in their daily ...

The overall impression of an individual influence the evaluation of his or her character.

It describes the general impact of personality that is likeable, thus creating biased judgment of the aimed individual.

The holocaust was the avoidable genocide that was never avoided. Its fires raged not only in Germany but also all the other countries of the world who were touched in one way or another by the happenings in Germany at the time. In fact, the holocaust stands as one systematic and organized effort of a government to destroy part of its population in modern era times. This then leads to many questions about what could have been done in order to stop it. It happened at such a time when all the nations of the world were standing and watching from a ...

Data Collection

Data collection techniques are inadequately described within this study (Creswell et al., 2009). This would be a challenge for replication as well as rigor. No indication exists to reveal who administered or distributed the questionnaires, regardless if they were self-report within the participant’s own convenience and time, or whether an investigator was available during completion. This could be regarded a weakness of the reporting of the study. The matter of researcher bias is significant within the completion for techniques of collecting data, and whereas questionnaires can be regarded as a means of preventing this, when they are vaguely administered, it is ...

Existentialism is defined as the study of being. It is a philosophy that struggles to find the true meaning and purpose of life. Existentialism therefore deals with the choices and ambiguity brought about by the circumstances that man must deal with when making life choices. In its explanation, existentialism states that the decision is important because it defines us as human beings and that every time we make a choice, we do it for the whole mankind since it is that act of choosing or decision that we create what it means to be human (The Atheist Scholar, 2012). The philosophy ...

Centuries after independence and adoption of civil rights in the United States, racial prejudice has yet to disappear completely. In spite of the numerous efforts put towards elimination of racial mindsets where majority of the white population treats Black Americans and other people of color with prejudice, cases of racial prejudice are still extant in the society. Subtle as it may be, racial prejudice leads to far reaching psychosocial, socioeconomic and even physical consequences. Modern racism is experience in various spheres of life, including legal and employment decisions, group problem-solving and normal day to day interactions in which ethnic ...

Is Racism And Anti-Semitism Still A Problem In The United States?

Introduction
Over the years, racism and anti-Semitism has been a significant negative society issue that is aimed to attack a particular race of tribe in regards to their cultural affiliations.

Racism and ethnic discrimination in the West have been core issues of concern since the slave trade era and the colonial era. There was a form of legally sanctioned racism. Colonial powers used legislative institutions instituted and controlled by them to impose racism on the societies they colonized. In the United States of Americas the European Americas, particularly the Anglo Americans had privileges over the natives in terms of voting rights, citizenship, literacy, immigration, criminal procedures and land acquisition for a period spanning from 17th Century to the 1960s. These privileges were felt by the Anglo Americans and Europeans all over ...

Understanding humanities differ depending on perspectives. This is perhaps the biggest impediment towards a generalization a generalization of the experiences of hallmark historical events.

Genocide in Guatemala: An Outline
Guatemala is mostly hilly country in Central America. It was erstwhile the heart of the well-known Mayan civilization, which was prevalent till the 10th century AD. When Spanish voyagers invaded Maya in the 16th century, the indigenous Mayans were enslaved in their own native soil. They are even now the most underprivileged majority of the Guatemala's population. Such kinds of inequalities and cruelties of Mayan people led to bitter Civil war in Guatemala which resulted in the mass genocide of this community.

In the full title of his tragedy, Othello, The Moor of Venice, Shakespeare announces the place of origin and race of the titular character. The two matters of such important significance as is later demonstrated. Notably the actions in this play unfold in two distinct geographical areas, the cities of Venice and Cypress. There is also frequent reference to two types of outsiders, ‘the Moor’ and ‘the Turks’. An understanding of the inherent opinions and prejudices of his Jacobean audience is obviously reflected in Shakespeare’s setting of the play. He understands and so does his audience, the significance ...

Introduction

America has been a racially segregated society. Racism became a menace in this country right from the time of slave trade when Africans were ferried into the country to work as slaves in the large plantation farms. Later, the practice was advanced by the Europeans who became land owners in the United States of America (USA). Under racism, people were given different treatments depending on their color. While the whites were recognized and respected, the other migrant groups were regarded as second class citizens with absolutely no rights. Meaning, they could not freely move, access quality education and participate in the ...

This brought in extensive disagreements between whites and African-Americans who always viewed themselves as segregated in proper operations of ...

Asian immigrants were, for many years, the silent victims of American westward expansion. When Americans were expanding westward in pursuit of Manifest Destiny, they were not doing all the work themselves. Manifest Destiny was the widely-held belief by many Americans that America was destined to expand across the current-day United States. During the 1820s all the way through the 1860s, Americans from the east coast of the United States expanded across the United States, seeking a variety of different things-- some sought land, others new experiences or natural resources. Everyone who participated in the American westward expansion carried some kind ...

The first two sentences attempt to explain the three methods of validating evidence. The three methods in that strain are the content based validity, the criterion based validity, and the relationship based validity. The second sentence qualifies the fact that these three methods are essential in the validation of evidence. On the other hand, the equal group outcomes have been rejected by the standards for the likely impossibility. It is not practical and pragmatic to subject a group of members to the same conditions and expect them to perform in the same manner. That assumption overlooks the very existing differences ...

Racial inequality continues to dominate the world even though we claim to be in post-racial state. As much as man remains social beings and bases their treatment of their background and history, then discrimination persists.

People expect such countries to lead as role models in depicting the importance of ending racial discrimination.
