Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit). The rise of the pre-colonial era, and immigrations, slavery and the way people drifted towards different shores in search of power can all be accounted to the present day situation that we face in America. While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole.

Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

Some of the greatest works of Victorian literature look at English culture in the 1800s through a critical or jaundiced eye; these works then find ways to expose the restrictive, oppressive and isolationist aspects of British culture that were characteristic of the empire at that time.

Looking at Dracula through the lens of race, it becomes ...

One concept that our political leaders like to kick around a lot is the notion of equality.

Many different things happen during the first two years of one’s life. Different theorists have attempted to conceptualize this, including Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson. The former believed that one went through an oral phase, in which the libido was placed on the mouth, making it a preferred erogenous zone.

He emphasized the utilization of brutal methods of civilizing the “savages” to enhance national progress (History Matters n.p). His actions are unjustified since they undermine cultural ...
