Industrialization After the Civil War

Introduction Industrialization post the Civil Battle in the U.S. had absolute consequences on the economy, politics, and society. The consequences transformed fields into towns. The country thus changed from an agricultural to an industrial region following the decades after the Civil War. The remarkable transformations arose due to different factors such as the emergence of unscrupulous corporate leaders, the existence of a massive workforce, development of technology and inventions, and the availability of raw materials. Also, came the rise of the capitalistic and corrupt entrepreneur controlled by the American Government. After the Civil War, the industrialization assisted the economy, ...

This course has allowed me to become more aware of South Asia, not only with its geographic value, but more so about the unique culture, economic, traditional and religious aspects. I likewise learned of the existence of the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SARRC), and its global importance given that it comprises about one-fifths of the world’s population. As such, the member-nations that make up SARRC, which are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, are unique in their own way but nevertheless exhibit similarities common to the South Asian culture. For one, I ...

Question 1: Race, Racialization and the Law

Asian Americans were always viewed in the context of “Asian immigrants”. This is for several reasons. First of all, the history of the United States rising as a prosperous nation happened from the east coast. And for various reasons, the first colonies created in the 1600s were made up almost exclusively of migrants from the British Isles. However, as time went on, the colonies expanded ...

People in different cultures have a different view on life because they live very different lives. Americans have a unique heritage because the majority ...

STEREOTYPES IN INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Did this clip remind you of other stereotypes, both good and bad, your daily experience with the members of these groups vs. the stereotypes of these groups? This clip (Wu, 2006) proves some common stereotypes people have about Asians. All Asian people are believed not to be too emotional in public and seem a bit out of touch with a reality. At the same time, despite some silly look, they are always ready to react in case of danger and they all have a good ear for music that helps them to play perfect the various musical instruments.

Introduction

Naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen becomes an American citizen. The Naturalization Act of 1790 was one of the first naturalization act of the United States. The act was concerned with the legalizing of citizens in the United States. This was owed to the fact that during the time, the country had different classes of people as well as people from different races. The naturalization act of 1790 paved way for discriminative and racist behavior in the American system, a concept that has continued to influence the mindset of the American people.

Abstract

The demographic trends in the US based on religion, race and age are fast changing as organizations strive to implement policies to achieve a balanced workplace atmosphere. It would be necessary for the organization to have a working environment where the supervisors and managers are appointed or recruited in ways that represent equality in terms of race, religion, gender and age. Organizations need to proactively foster a culture that appreciates diversity such that everyone is given an equal opportunity in terms of employment and roles to be performed at the firm.

A work like Pearl S Buck’s The Good Earth is by its very nature orientalist in the Saidian sense Because it was created within the structures of Orientalism as both a genre and as an epistemological category. Buck was born the child of an American missionary in China and spent much of her formative years there. Buck’s early life and experiences as an American and the child of a missionary informed her preconceptions of China, its people, society, and culture. Orientalism in this sense isn’t just a literary genre: an orientalist work is not just, a ...

Step 1: Story of Race

The rationalization of non-European people and some European population, such as the Irish served a primary purpose of differentiating individuals within a population. Individuals within a group set are different from the others. Thus, the concept of rationalization acts as a tool to bring out the different categories that are present in our population. Eugenics was an idea suggested by Plato that was inclined towards the sustenance and uprising of superior human beings with regards to their genetic traits. Plato suggested the practice of selective mating. This is where individuals with superior characteristics would be paired, and sterilization of ...

1. The Social Miracle T. R. Reid moved to Tokyo, Japan, with his family – composed of his wife and their two daughters – where he lived for five years, as an expatriate employee for the Washington Post. He posits that some Asian nations (such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore ) have built modern societies within the safest environment, providing the best education for the children, and with probably the most stable families on Earth. In Reid’s opinion, this accomplishment is due to the widespread acceptance by Far East countries of the ethical values of Chinese philosopher Confucius. He pointed ...

During the civil rights movements that rocked the United States in the 1960s, the Asians that lived in America were first characterized as being the model minority. Even as there were efforts to abolish the social, legal and institutional disparities that existed between the majority and minority groups, political conservatives were quick to point out the American dream as being colorblind because of the Students of Asian descent. The thought process that formed this ideology was that if the Asians could succeed in America, then all the other minority groups had no excuse in failing. The success of the ...

In the last century, these stories have taken a new turn in introducing fictional characters that are superhuman. The heroes in such storylines who’re more commonly referred to as superheroes are capable of feats that, by any standard, far exceed human capabilities. It is ...

This racial group is what we call “whites”. Other racial categories of the US include Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, and African Americans (blacks). Today’s trends, mainly characterized by immigration process, indicate the growth of current minor racial groups’ portion in the United States population. “Never before has America been more diverse, and that diversity will in all likelihood continue to expand”.

Q1.) Culture takes time to change, as does the human geography it gives rise to and the ethnic implications diffused by the group which influences it. The significant economic, technological and demographic changes in the United States since the Second World War have led to the persistence of the many examples of new cultural landscapes there. These economic and technological developments resulted in large-scale immigrations which in turn fueled the growth of population and modification of the American society in crucial ways, producing varied needs and increased aspirations.

Introduction

In her book How Race is Made in America, Molina pointed out how racial scripts “highlights the ways in which the lives of racialized groups are linked across time and space” (Molina, 6). The author came of this concept based on her examination of Mexican immigration from 1924 to 1965. According to Molina, she observed that during this specific period of time, a characteristic of the immigrants such as their customs, and practices as well as policies applicable to their group tend to define their racial category. She further claimed that the establishment of this racial definition resulted to ...

It was a beautiful sunlit morning, and our class was confined in a classroom taking a Math test our teacher gave us. There was nothing in that test that I didn't know: there were some fractions to solve, some proportions to do, and some graphs to draw. I felt quite confident, because I had studied for the test and cramming everything before the test actually did me good, as the blank with the test questions did not look so daunting to me. I quickly skimmed through all the tasks to determine the value of work I was to do, ...

Health disparities refer to variations that exist in the health status of diverse groups of people. The different groups can be classified based on sex or gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, race, disability, geographic area of residence and income (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016). Based on this classification, it is normally evident that some groups of people record higher rates of suffering and deaths from some diseases when compared to other groups (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016). The disparities and the effects they have on healthcare outcomes are outlined below.

Anti-Asian agitation is a general sentiment that refers to opposition, discrimination or hostility against the Chinese people or rather people of Asian origin. This topic is interesting because it has somehow gone unnoticed over the years until the modern days. It involves discrimination of the Asian traditions, culture, and even politics. One may tend to think that this sentiment is a modern day issue. However, it began in the 19th century, in the yellow peril, and was further extended to the Cold War times and even more heightened by McCarthyism. The Asians, precisely the Chinese, thought they had found ...

Even in today’s increasingly diverse world of theatre and the arts, finding high-quality and accurate representation of minorities and people of color can be incredibly difficult.

However, artists like playwright David Henry Hwang have made tremendous strides in advocating for the voices of Asian-Americans to be heard in the world of theatre, his works (including M. Butterfly, Chinglish and Yellow Face) demonstrating the unique difficulties they have in fighting for ...

Hawaii is an American state where Europeans are not the majority of residents and it is the home to the largest Asian-American community in America.

Policing, either through service or force, should not be momentously substandard for particular social groups and the rest. The statistical evidence by prominent researchers have indicated that individuals seen as white have a more suitable experience of police in comparison with individuals whose decent lies in Africa or Asia. Current shift in emigration patterns have called for a reconceptualization of the perception of individuals belonging to ethnic minority groups. Indeed, it is a matter of difference that has turned out to be predominant in modern societies (Cao, 2014).

While diversity and equality represent the goal in today’s multicultural society, racialized groups continue to be disadvantaged in the business environment. African-American employees need to work harder in order to keep their jobs and to advance in their careers, and they are more likely to be fired for unsubstantial reasons. African-American women are less likely to be promoted in the corporate world than any other group in the country, including White women. As Galabuzi (94) shows, as of 2000, racialized groups in Canada earned less than Whites, despite having similar studies and experience. Furthermore, racialized groups were more ...

In 2009, a movie was released that was based on a Japanese manga (comic book) that originated in Japan.

With these powers, he fought off evil alien forces that threatened all life on planet Earth. The name of that movie is Dragonball Evolution. Due to the source material containing Asian people as the main characters, it would only be safe to assume that the actor casted for the main role would be Asian as well. However, Hollywood directors went with ...

Muller, the author of The new world reader: Thinking and writing about the global community, describes the US as a melting pot for all cultures and ethnicities around the world.

America is considered as one of the flourishing economies that attract many foreigners to the country in that the country has high standards of living. Globalization has contributed to the US assimilating other cultures and ethnicities in their day to day lives. For example the Hispanics and Asians have ...

The second take is much different from the first take draft for one main reason. In the first draft, my interpretations of the picture were based in what I could see and how I could interpret the appearance of the photograph. By this I mean that the first draft was influence by my own perspectives of the photograph and what it represents. I did not have the advantage of having the information regarding the background of the work or the artist, and therefore embedding these factors into the interpretation.

Despite the many gains that African-Americans and other minorities have achieved in the last fifty years as a result of the Civil Rights Movement, there are still a vast number of issues that remain incredible struggles for blacks seeking equal treatment in the United States. One of those is the issue of education; despite initiatives such as affirmative action, minority scholarships and college prep programs, there are still systemic inequalities that take place within the US educational system. Investigating the concepts and ideas behind these issues and the efforts to change them (e.g. order theory), it is clear that many steps ...
