Segregation Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Gender segregation is the division of people according to the social construction that is, male and female. It may also refer to the tendency of the children in this case to play together with their colleagues of the same sex. Children at tender ages normally below three years tend to be non-discriminative in interaction with same or different genders. It's worth noting that children within same age group will more than likely behave in a certain general manner and even react to different situations in particular patterns. Children normally interact well with peers through social play networks which aid in ...

In the 100 years between the end of the Civil War and the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, African Americans continued to experience the violence and racism that they had endured as slaves. This racism was not only social and political separation, but also legal separation. The legal segregation was codified into law so that African Americans were denied equal access to service and opportunities such as housing, medical care, education, employment, transportation, and entertainment. Because this separation was established in state and local laws, any resistance by African Americans resulted in arrest and prosecution. However, ...

Introduction

The Civil Rights movements were a sequence or succession of political movements for equality, and it took the form of campaigns of civil resistance that was aimed at attaining transformations. Worth noting was the fact that the campaigns were non-violent and civil disobedience pushing for minority’s rights, women rights, as well voting rights. Such rights and privileges were not entitled to the Black Americans according to the United States Constitution especially in the Southern States. The disobedience and protests that were opted for by the Black Americans were boycotts (Brooks, 2008). By illustration, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and rallies ...

Introduction

Cases of gender segregation are high in the labor market as it is fueled by discriminatory and gendered assumptions and practices. The market of labor does not match the “gender factory” for the purposes devaluing of work done by women and reproduction of institutionalized gender division of labor. This study will aim to explore the impact caused by the women workers entry into the paid job on the general gender segregation in the work place. This will ultimately indicate the dynamism and the changing characteristics of gender disparity.
Gender inequality is majorly characterized by gender division in the ...

Seed Dormancy and Pod Dehiscence in Legumes

Introduction
In the natural cycle of life plants germinate when certain prerequisites are met. When that cycle is incorporated into the agricultural process it behooves the farmer to study and determine the most effective agricultural processes to use in order to obtain the most productive planting methods. Some seeds need only to be planted in wet soil to stir them to growth while others require further treatment such as damage to otherwise resistant seed coat or passage through a dormancy period in order to maximize the germination rate.
Seeds developed for agriculture generally fall into the former category, ...

It is common knowledge that the United States of America is a country of immense opportunities and equal rights founded by a group of refugees from the British Empire who sought possibilities to enjoy civil rights; however it was not until the second half of the 20th century that African Americans were granted such a franchise. If there was one event that was so crucial as to determine the way the whole nation would be moving for years to come, it was Civil Rights and Black Power movement. It came to pass that racial inequality, apartheid or racial segregation got to the ...

Recent studies regarding the patterns of employment and occupations indicate that there are differences in occupational choices between the male and the female gender. Due to the increase in the number of women attaining education in the United States, women have remained to be an integral part of the United States’ workforce. However, statistics indicate that jobs that have traditionally been associated with men have continued to be male dominated and vice versa. For example most of the blue collar jobs that entail the operation of heavy machinery and other craftsman skills continue to be dominated by men. On ...

Broom, A. (2012) On Euthanasia, Resistance, and Redemption: The Moralities and Politics of a Hospice: Qualitative Health Research, 22 (2) 226-237.
Politics have been a major player in the hospice service industry. The major controversy is assisted death. Academic and medical communities have debated upon the ethics of this act and there has been a grey area since the debate has never been concluded. Many hospice practiced have the dying well policy and numerous patients cajole the nurses since they read more into this statement than otherwise intended. The modern dying practices and morality need governance in this old age nursing ...

Segregation was based on the institutionalization of racism in the southern states of the United States. These states had official structures that required people from different races to live apart from each other. These states guaranteed their institutionalization of segregation by creating local structures that protected the White upper class and prevented the implementation of federal rules that forbade segregation. Thus, the locals who were not prepared to live within the context of the racist laws of the society had to go to other states to enjoy a life that did not support segregation. There were many forms of ...

Introduction

Residential patterns have been hypothesized to affect intergroup relations. Various research studies have been conducted to establish the holding power of this hypothesis. One of the very basic approach to the studies of residential patterns and their effects on intergroup relations has been the assertion that the residential patterns result in prejudiced intergroup relations. Prejudice, in this case, refers to negative beliefs, feelings, and action orientations regarding a certain group of people. Further, research studies have also underscored the assertion that prejudice is a result of social learning, and it gets transmitted through folklore and; hence, gets supported by ...

Entry of African-Americans into the United States of America was mainly through the slave trade organizations. The main purpose of slave trade was to provide much needed cheap labor for the white-owned and run plantations concentrated in the South. The enduring onsideration of African-Americans as second class citizens can be attributed to those origins and hence their treatment as property of the slave owners (Danns, 2009, p.303). It was this practice that saw the entrenchment of segregation, discrimination and isolation of the African-American from the greater American society. African-Americans have had to work hard and tirelessly to bring about ...

Historical Analysis
Foremost, to understand the grounds on which Jim Crow laws emerged, there is a need for one to consider the situation that developed in the United States in the years leading to the mentioned Civil War. On one hand, Southern plantation owners assumed a pro-slavery stand as a means to protect their economic interests. The growth of cotton in the South was dependent on the free and hard labor that the institution of slavery availed. On the other hand, Northerners voiced their anti-slavery sentiments and called for the freedom of all black slaves. The endorsement of the ...

Occupational segregation is one of the spheres where the fact that women’s skills and talents are often underestimated becomes obvious. Of course, the situation at workplaces concerning women’s equality with men has changed greatly in recent decades and this change has mostly been for the better. But in many aspects, especially financial ones, women are still lagging behind. Women face various problems when they try to find a well-paid job; when they are not promoted as fast as their male colleagues; and when they have to decide what they want or need more – successful careers or happy ...

Neighborhood segregation is the physical separation of urban residents into two or more neighborhoods. Although urban neighborhood segregation has been attributed to some social causes such as racism and ethnicity, there is growing evidence that different economic statuses are the key underpinning reason for neighborhood segregations. Members of different ethnic groupings live in segregated city zones due to their general different economic statuses (Bischoff and Reardon 34-40). From the US Census statistics, as in 1960s, it is evident that those communities that had lower incomes tended to live in neighborhoods regarded as poor. From 1960s, however, racial neighborhood separation ...

Segregation is something that has literally separated people throughout history and as the world moves towards a more global and diverse model, the spread of anti-segregation initiatives follow. In a country as developed as the United States of America, and one that has led the way in stifling racial tensions since the Civil Rights Movements of the 1970’s, it seems absurd to think that in today’s racially and ethnically diverse society that these are still problems with segregation. The fact is, not only does segregation exist around the world in less developed countries, but it is something ...

An American immigrant leaves his or her mother country in search of business opportunities as well as expectations of a superior lifestyle associated with America. These particular expectations are often hinged on the fact they could achieve better lifestyles via better work and schooling opportunities in the United States. Nevertheless, this isn't always the situation. These particular immigrants experience a lot of issues from their new surroundings such as language climate and lifestyle which, to a large extend, influence their successes or failures in the United States. They influence their economic as well as social standing within their new environment and, therefore, ...

Introduction

Sports are popularly believed to exist in a cultural, social, and political vacuum and place that is distinct from everyday realities of political and social life. As such, it is presumed that opportunities exist and are available for all groups regardless of socio-cultural backgrounds. This narrative stems from the popular belief that the issues of race are no longer present in sport as in other corporate affairs and also the increasing proportion of high-profile members of the black and minority ethnic groups in contemporary professional sports. However, this narrative represents the contrary to the actual state of racial representation in ...

Racial segregation is a dark and painful past of the American people. It has been landmarked by various criminal and legal cases such as the Plessy versus Ferguson court case. In this particular issue, Plessy did not follow the vehicle segregation and was punished by law. This is a landmark case which hinges on the issues of separate but equal doctrine along with de facto and de jure segregation, and the overall discrepancy in the criminal justice system.
In actual terms, there is an evident conflict and diversity in the US criminal justice. It reflects the inequality in the general ...

Abstract

One of the most significant milestone that has been done for the United States’ civil rights platform is enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These rights were enacted on July 2nd, 1964. It is through these rights that the rights of civil servants in the United States were assured of protection against such discriminations based on their sex, race, and religion, place of origin or color of their skin.
This paper will in detail examine the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The paper will in detail elaborate on the meaning and significance of the Act as well ...

Metropolises are large urban areas or cities that are significant political, economic and social cultural centers for a given region or country. They are also important hubs for international or regional commerce, communications and connections. In reference to large cities, neighborhoods are usually districts or localities characterized by certain ranks and qualities of its inhabitants. Therefore, neighborhood segregation refers to the physical separation of urban localities or residents into two or more neighborhoods. Although neighborhood segregation had been attributed to social courses such as ethnicity, racism and cultures, in the last few decades, there is growing evidence that differences ...

The paper will focus on income inequality, poverty and discrimination. The problem of discrimination based on gender in the United States and the occupational segregation that leads to the unequal opportunities and inequality in the income and makes some groups more vulnerable than others. The discrimination based on gender will be examined based on the statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statics. The comparison will be made based on the average income of women and men in weekly earnings, the difference in working hours that will be shown with the income gap. The occupation segregation will be shown based ...

Racism and racial inequalities have been in existence and can be dated as far back as the American colonization by the Great Britain. This was the time when slavery was at its peak and the rich people bought slaves of African origin and owned them as their property. The mistreatment and inequality was rampant as the masters regarded the black slaves as inferior and had no right to own anything since they were considered as property. The existence of inequalities based on race had brought a series of events including the civil war as well as the fight for civil ...

Survey analysis of data reveals evidence of job race segregation in most metropolitan areas of the United States. A whopping 60 percent of the Whites work in jobs where most of their co-workers are whites. Conversely, only a third of the African-Americans, Hispanics and other non-whites do work in jobs that are mostly white collar. It is noteworthy that this racial segregation in employment is not limited to a specific level of employment. Indeed, it is also embedded at the establishment level with the average establishment percent of the minority being significantly higher for African Americans and Hispanics at 70 percent ...

John F. Kennedy and the Federal Marshals Decision-Making

During the Civil Rights Movement

The Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s was a tense period in the history of the United States. In 1961 the first Catholic was sworn into the office of President of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He had many challenges to face during his presidency. His early death due to his assassination makes it impossible to predict whether he would have become a stronger supporter of the Civil Rights movement (also known as the Black Freedom movement). President Kennedy may have decided to give most of the responsibility to the Attorney ...

The end of the civil war in America abolished slavery but racism still persisted in the country with segregation in education, public transport and housing being very prevalent. The civil rights movement in America has a long history and African-Americans have been fighting for equal rights since the beginning of the last century. Two events from the civil rights movement paved the way for stronger legislation and changes in how the African Americans were treated. On 17th May 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v.

- Introduction
Gender inequality in the US has gone through phases of change in the last five decades. The inequality in composition, type of work and wages between men and women is due to a number of factors. These varied explanations arise from varying situations existing at different periods. Researchers have viewed the problem from varied angles as well. There are a number of literature from the past to the present on this issue. A survey of the literatures allows us to divide the various explanations and analysis of gender inequalities in labor force into a few categories. We have viewed ...

It was an age of immoral maltreatment on color society. African-Americans faced much racism, they experienced verbal insult, physical abuse, as well as blockage that up to this dates there are still difficulties ...

Analysis of Two Leaders Leadership

Introduction
Studies done on early leadership revealed that leaders were different from other individuals and initiated the search for characteristics or traits which differentiated leaders from other people. Early leadership research studies indicated that great men such as Jefferson, Washington, Roosevelt and Lincoln had different traits as compared to average people (Bryman, 1996). As implied by the great man theory, leaders have specific in born characteristics or traits which separates them from other people. This led to the classification of the traits into three classes namely; physical traits (which includes muscular build, height and appearance), abilities (including speech ...

Brown versus Board of Education

The Supreme Court has judged many landmark cases in its over 200 years history but the one which springs to mind and which perhaps is the most far reaching is the famous 1954 case and decision Brown vs Board of Education where it ruled that segregation in schooling was unconstitutional. This decision obviously gave way to a wave of protests across the South where blacks began clamouring for their rights and the whole Civil Rights movement took fire. It is indeed a landmark case as initially it appeared pretty straightforward and nondescript but the end result was to have a cataclysmic effect ...

ABSTRACT

Martin Luther King was a Baptist minister and Ph.D. in theology who had led the civil rights movement in the South since 1955. He referred to the founding documents and principles of the United States that promised liberty and equality for all, and noted that the country had failed to fulfill these in practice, especially because blacks had suffered centuries of slavery and segregation. His main concern was to secure basic citizenship and voting rights for blacks, and his speaking style was far more like that of a preacher and prophet. A century after slavery was abolished, blacks still faced segregation, ...

Civil-rights refer to the freedoms and rights that an individual is entitled to as member of a society or country. These rights include freedom of association, of speech, of religion, to education and press. It refers to the right to equal and fair treatment from public authority and government. These rights are usually granted by a country’s constitution or other laws and statutes while the courts are mandated with determining whether the rights of an individual have been violated (Graham 14).
The United States of America has clearly defined the right of individuals in its constitution as well as ...

After the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, the Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Schneider (2014) affirms that Fair Housing Act (FHA), was purposely applied to curb discriminatory housing patterns which were encouraging and upholding racial segregation and in the discrimination in the sale and rental of housing based on race, color, religion, and national origin. Schneider (2014) addresses that in 1974, gender was included as a protective class under the Act, intensifying the prohibitions of the act to the treatment and harassment of individuals on the gender perspectives. Nonetheless, the Fair Housing Act ...

Economic development, as scholars have cited, is synonymous with the concept of modernization (Diarsi 1996). Modernization and development refer to the progression of society from conservative opinions towards an inclusive and liberal approach where people enjoy equality irrespective of their gender or race. Modern society also assimilates the concept of a 'just' society where women have equal access to resources as their male counterparts and disparities regarding job opportunities, wages, and social status are either non-existent or negligible. Theoretically, modernization should be one of the automatic outcomes of economic development; however, practical examples may not testify this theoretical hypothesis.

The civil rights movement was a succession of political protests in the United States that sought to bring racial equality before the law. In many instances, the protesters used nonviolent acts in enhancing the emancipation of women and the rights of minorities. Despite the fact that many women played a significant role in leading the local civil rights groups and volunteering as lawyers on school segregation suits, their efforts were overshadowed by men who got more attention and credit for the popular historical process in the US.
Many women suffered from sexual discrimination and gender-based discrimination within the movement ...

Abstract

African-Americans are a significant part of the American population and comprise of people with African ethnicity and ancestry. Their original introduction to American society through slavery contributes considerably to their sense of heritage, kinship and plays a role in their culture and belief systems.

These conditions have mainly affected aspects of their speech, language, religion, creative expression and general way of life. Centuries of biased legislation and segregation have led to the creation and promotion of ...

The history of African Americans in the United States is one that is associated with intense bitterness, suffering and struggle. From the days when African slavery and servitude existed to the current situation, America can be said to have transformed into a true democracy. This level of achievement has not at all been easy. It has taken the sacrifice, commitment and effort of many people to attain the democratic rights that all Americans including African Americans enjoy today. Some of the people who fought to have a free and just society in America will forever remain in the books of history. ...

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 ...

Fiction and drama often deals with how characters deal with their dreams and aspirations; often, characters sabotage themselves and prevent themselves from achieving their dreams, while other times the world they live in keeps them from having what they want. The American Dream means many things for different people, but its common conception is the idea that people can achieve social mobility and prosperity no matter what they start with, if they work hard enough and seize opportunities (Cullen 191). For African-Americans in the 20th century, the American Dream itself was much harder to achieve than for whites - ...

Dr. King envisioned an American society where citizens of ...

Introduction

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 ...

The American civil movement was a movement that was mainly felt between the year 1955 and the year 1968 with many African-Americans coming to the front line to fight for equal rights to their white colleagues and treatment as equal beings. However, this movement had started way back in the 19th century (1850s) when the Americans started abolishing slave trade. However, their effort was mainly felt in the quoted period in history when they acquired equal treatment to their white counterparts. This led to equal treatment and application of bill of rights to all Americans regardless of their skin color ...

How have Africans Americans worked to end segregation, discrimination and isolation to attain equality and civil rights?

The African Americans’ entry into the United States of America was mainly through the slave trade organization. The main purpose of slave trade was to avail the much needed cheap labor for the white plantations concentrated in the South. The African Americans’ consideration as second citizens can be attributed to that occurrence, hence, their treatment as property belonging to slave owners. It is this practice that saw the entrenchment of segregation, discrimination and isolation of the African American from the larger American ...

As the United States industrialized the role of the federal government expanded, especially in the New Deal Era of the 1930s and the Great Society of the 1960s. At the same time, the U.S. became a global power for the first time, which led to a major expansion of the military, intelligence agencies and defense industries (the military-industrial complex, as Dwight Eisenhower called it in 1961), which was simply unprecedented in U.S. history. With programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the federal role in social welfare and regulation of the economy was far greater than it had ever been in ...

In recent years, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has taken a considerable change in terms of women's employment. However, while admirable changes are taken to bridge the gender wage gap, women in the labor sector remain to be at a disadvantage. It was observed that a majority of the MENA countries has sensibly capitalized in providing better education to women, yet most of these states have not tapped fully into the women’s labor force for improved economic growth. This demonstrates the gender-based discrimination that generally hinders women in the MENA region to impart their potential ...

The ability to determine one’s leaders, goods, services, regions and rights are some of the choice elements that the American population is presented with. Another aspect that can be associated with the United States is its diversity in regards to the ethnic groups and races; immigration has resulted in the creation of one of the most interracial communities in the world.
Nearly all races are present in America as a result of ...

Gentrification has been a very controversial topic in urban planning since 1964, when it was first introduced. Though upper and middle classes can benefit from this process, it can bring significant loss to low income residents. Some people see this process as the one that improves the quality of life, others are left with nothing but hatred for people who took their places and changed their communities. There are different views and opinions on whether gentrification has more advantages or, on the contrary, more negative sides. In this paper there are many researches on gentrification discussed and compared, as ...

Many questions are yet to be answered regarding civil rights casualties. Many black people in America were killed, and their murders were not solved. In the 1950s and 60s, quite a significant number of black people that involved themselves with the Civil Rights Movement were killed, and their stories made headlines across the nation. Many family members of the victims killed during the civil rights movement are still waiting for justice and proper measures to be taken on those who participated in the murder of their loved ones.

Gone were the days when an African American would get into trouble for drinking water from a white water fountain. The better part of the 1040s characterized racial segregations that were not only strictly enforced by the laws as instituted by Jim Crow but also by the age-customs. At this time, the civil rights movement was still in infancy. The laws that governed voting as well as access to public facilities and jobs in an equitable manner were mere fallacies and decades away from attainment. The Africa Americans could not even make to eat or drink from the restaurants. ...

Early Canadian Multicultural Policy towards Ethnic Minorities: A Historical Background

It is significant to see that early Canadian multicultural policies towards ethnic minorities must be interpreted in two different outlooks. Firstly, there was a Government official policy towards the French Canadians. Throughout the British colonial era, British authorities generally enforced multicultural policies that were both prejudiced and assimilative with the aim to bring this ethnic group into the British control. Since Confederation, nevertheless, French Canadians were able to gain significant political and legal independence rights. This consisted of some political freedom through the acknowledgment of Quebec as a province, representation in political bodies, and legal language rights.
In contrast, there ...

The aspect that stands out is the uniformity that overrides the workplace environment. In matters of gender, both men and women usually work in places where their gender is more dominant; in terms of number. That concept permeates to race as well. We find that African-Americans and White-Americans tend to work in organizations in which a majority of the workers in similar jobs are from their respective race (Tomaskovic-Devey, 1993). As a human services professional, I face a variety of these incidences in the work environment. I deal with and observe cases where segregation as a result of race, sex, culture and disability ...
