Essays on White

In the age of slavery, white American society considered African people to be benighted heathens with the other skin color, body structure, and inappropriate traditions and culture. Such conclusions were drawn mostly upon the widespread idea about the superiority of Whites and the absence of Christianity in Africa. American society prevented the assimilation of African-American slaves even after the generations of their presence on the American land and repudiated their equality to Whites even when they started to adopt Christian way of life. For Americans, African people had continued to be barbarians who had come to America to be ...

Prior to the 18th Century, slavery was considered normal as the laws by then protected the salve owners and legitimized the actions. Prior to the 18th century, the only groups that were eager and willing to talk against slavery were the Quakers, slaves, and free blacks.

Privileges refer to benefits, immunity, or a right enjoyed only a person or a particular group of people. White privilege encompasses unearned power that has been systematically conferred to whites over the years (Rothenberg, 2011).

Historical research has demonstrated that "race" has dependably conveyed a bigger number of implications than negligible physical contrasts; without a doubt, physical varieties in the human species have no importance aside from the social ones that people put on them. Today researchers in many fields contend that "race" as it is comprehended in the United States of America was a social instrument created amid the eighteenth century to allude to those populaces united in frontier America: the English and other European pioneers, the vanquished Indian people groups, and those people groups of Africa acquired to give slave work. With ...

In attempting to gather data, my task was to ask at least ten people the question “do you prefer elevators or stairs in a five-storey building, and why is that?” I found that the actual data gathering was much harder than I had anticipated – I tried to get the attention of around thirty people, with most of them ignoring me! I was honestly beginning to worry that I would not get enough people for the survey, but I luckily managed to get my tenth respondent just before we finished for the day. Of all the ten respondents to our ...

The environment is one of the crucial components that enhances sustainable development. It is worth noting that environmental crimes are viewed to be less important compared to traditional crimes.

Analytically, environmental crimes are sensitive and dangerous to the living things. Militant groups and criminal gangs profit from some ...

Body Mass Index

Body Mass Index (BMI) Introduction Historically, the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) has been the standard method of measuring obesity among the adults. The standards of BMI were created using population samples, which were calculated from the measurement of the weight and height of Caucasians. Recent research has proved that BMI alone cannot be an appropriate way of measuring obesity. The main reason for this is the differences in ethnicity and the genetic make-up of individuals. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has evaluated the trend of the BMI and the result is that the African ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

The Asian American community has long been referred to as a “model minority" which is a term used to refer to non-white ethnic groups in the US and the perceived notion that they can to find success and adapt to the American way of life seamlessly.

(a) In his article “African American Self-Reliance in a Post-racial America,” Marcus Coleman discussed whether or not the pundits claim that the election of Barrack Obama as the first African American President, has marked the beginning of a post-racial America were the racial and ethical agonies, such as slavery and Jim Crow, have forever been put behind us and that forever more we would exist as a society that values, believes in, and supports multi-culturalism and multi-racism. While Coleman, agrees that Obama’s election was indeed groundbreaking on many levels, especially, for him as a fellow African American. But, ...

Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

Prejudice and Bigotry in the Matter of Interracial Relationships Despite the fact that economic and social disparities between black and white Americans disappear gradually, situation in the sphere of inter-racial marriages is quite different. Even the United States today are the very segregated society in many respects. The most interesting indicator of segregation in American society is interracial marriages. At the end of the 17th century, slavery in some southern US states was replaced by indentured servitude (black worker was obliged to work on his master a certain amount of time, typically from 4 to 7 years, without receiving ...

The first article chosen is by Hamilton & Shergill (1992) and describes a longitudinal study of corporations with a non-financial business set up that are listed on the New Zealand stock exchange.

The article examines corporations in New Zealand, where major companies are less diversified and smaller in size. It further offers an empirical test of the generality of the ideology of strategy structure fit and corresponding performance. I chose the article because ...

While taking a closer look at Buck’s (2007) and Davis’s (1983) articles, I concluded the main theme in both papers to be how women of colour not only face sexism but also racism in western cultures, specifically the U.S. These articles address the development of the women’s movement in America and show how sex is always placed ahead of, and to the exclusion of, race when it comes to feminism. Both writers take the stance that women of colour never had a chance to be a viable part of the fight for women’s rights as ...

How to overcome racism if our own justice system is racial? We know that our nation has struggled a lot of unjust racial cases. For example, in the period of pre-civil war, the southern part of the United States was covered with slavery. The life of Black-African American groups was horrible as they were slaves and were treated as slaves also. They were a property that white people could buy and sell, had no rights, and were not protected by the legislature. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, and the modern days are known for the public fight with ...

Debate of Washington v. DuBois v. Garvey During the early 20th century the three famous African American leaders including, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Marcus Garvey had compelling visions for the African American community. The reconstruction of the civil war did not come with the desired hope of the complete right of citizens to be free of slavery. In the 1980s a terrorist group known as the Ku Klux Klan played a significant role in realizing changes that were expected since they introduced racial segregation laws, lynching, and voting restrictions compromising the rights brought about ...

The essay is based on the studies of McIntosh, Wise, Shams, DiAngelo, Graham, and Dyson. According to the studies of these authors, privilege is considered as a communal theory which states that exceptional rights or compensations are obtainable only to a group of people. Furthermore, privilege is regularly used in the framework of social inequity, mainly in regard to ethnic, gender, and racial category. 1. White Privilege According to authors, the practices that make white privilege is that the political sector including healthcare organizations and school gives more source of pride to the Native Americans. The authors in their ...

The story “How to Date a Brown Girl” is told as pointers for African men, or black men. The story tells the expectations coming from a white, or half-white woman when she dates an African guy. Nevertheless, the story, in general, is about trying to win a woman, despite the differences in color and race (Diaz 1-3). The story speaks about the truth of the current society. It may be coming from the author’s experience or not, but the feeling of negativity can be seen in every part of the story. It is as if the author is ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Question 1

1.1 In her taxonomy, Joh (2005) describes private policing as law enforcement activities offered through agencies owned and controlled by private individuals. That said, unlike their public counterparts, private police officers concentrate on property loss, preventive techniques, private justice, and safeguarding personal interests. As such, these entities mainly operate as parallel entities, each focusing on their individual duties in law enforcement. This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...

Abstract

Hurricane Katrina is considered the largest national disaster in the United States. It led to the death of around 1,800 people and other tens of thousands were left homeless. It came four years after 9/11 and the government had been proactive in creating response plans for such disasters. Katrina led to a number of national crises that were primarily caused by two reasons. One, the hurricane Katrina itself and two, the collapse of the levees that had been built to protect the city. Aside from this, there was a problem in the management of the crisis. The local, ...

Chapter Review

The idealism of race and property has existed since the early 20th century. The individual's race determined the economic, political, and social security. The author’s grandmother struggles with survival with two children living as a single mother. Eventually, she hides her identity as a Black woman at workplaces dominated by whites in order to secure her job. Her story illustrates the valorization of whiteness as treasured property in a society built on a racial castle (Harris, 1993). White supremacy over the Black people and Native American people transformed whiteness from color, to race, to status, and eventually to ...

Riis’s account is the quintessential example of the melting pot concept of American society in action. It describes New York City as an incredibly cosmopolitan blending nationalities and ethnicities, each one coming from successive waves immigration to the United States. Not only does it defy the idea that there is some default ‘standard American’ look and culture, it presents native born Americans as almost a minority, and if not then usually not more than a generation or two removed from their own ingress into the Land of the Free. While he notably does not mention the presence of ...

Having rediscovered the traditional German fairy-tale about Snow White and the wicked queen, Neil Gaiman introduces a perspective, quite different from others previously expressed. In his story Snow, Glass, Apples Snow White and the queen appear in different colors. They are both strong, and they both appear to implement their powers in their own ways. In the story, Neil Gaiman seems to present both female characters from different perspectives, enduing them with both traditional and feminist traits of their personalities. The entire story by Gaiman seems to be a feminist interpretation of the traditional German fairy-tale by Grimm brothers. ...

Reason Why the Israelites Desired for a King

Samuel grew older and thus, appointed his son to lead the Israelites. However, the sons did not adhere to his leadership skills since they were dishonest as well as accepted bribe in the long run. The depiction of the sons in line with perverted justice scared the Israelites and thus, demanded for an alternative leader. Furthermore, the Israelites pose and demanded for an epitome leader so as to be like the neighboring nations which has kings as well. The people feared that since Samuel was growing older, they risk being attacked by the surrounding nations and thereby, demanded for ...

Abstract

This brief essay studied the uninsured and the health care disparities they face. Essential Affordable Care Act provisions and their effects were studied. Critical factors affecting the health care of the uninsured were identified; these included race, ethnicity, income, socioeconomic status, culture, language and income. Several research studies concluded that while access to health care has improved, the quality of this care has not improved for the uninsured. Although the number of uninsured has been reduced dramatically since 2010, insurance costs continue to increase significantly. Failure of states to expand Medicaid benefits has limited uninsured patients’ health care options. ...

Both researchers come at the issue of dominance in male hierarchies with a different set of research subjects. White Watson looks at how white, middle-class teenage boys are prone to excessive violence. She uses the spate of school mass killings as examples of the “boy code” gone wrong. Hinojosa specifically looks at the military and how it creates a “masculine”-type that is recognizable in public (haircut and stance) and is highly competitive between ranks, departments, groups, titles and so forth. White Watson argues, as studies show this, that it is not race, family history, or testosterone that causes ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Long Response

While sexuality remains a talking point in the modern society, many people are still being discriminated based on their sexual identities. It is essential to note that several people have become victims of racial discrimination as well as heterosexism in the modern society. While many people have fought to change the perception of the offenders, the battle against lesbianism is still alive in the society as many individuals do not consider it a cultural norm. Culturally acceptable codes of behavior have dictated that a particular behavior has to be observed by the members of the society to help nurture ...

Q1 (a) Adichie’s essay presented two basic examples based on the concept of feminism that exists in the minds of men. At first, she illustrated that how she preferred to wear clothes that were less feminine while going to her graduation school. The example gives an impression to the audience that men in the society think that girls are a weaker entity. It also provides an idea that girls have insecurity. Therefore, they tend to look manly to prove themselves as stronger while making a public appearance Q1 (b) Another example that Adichie’s essay has provided is ...

The Texas education system raised concern since the declaration of independence in 1836 following the failure of the government to begin the public education system. However, in late 1983, a constitutional amendment that advocated for the provision of bonds by the school fund was passed through voting. Currently, school funds generated an income of approximately $756 million dollars thus, making education facilities more available to the students (Champagne and Edward 16). The dropout rate is the indicator of the holding power of various schools in Texas during that period. Data indicates that 106 counties recorded a reduction in the ...

I strongly support the views expressed by Zhou in the article. It is often said that America is a land of liberty, equality and opportunity. The gifted people get what they deserve. Asian Americans have proved their ability and they have been credited for one of the major drivers of American economy. They are called “Model Minority”. The previous generations of Asian Americans came to this land to shape their future and the future of their next generations. They got liberty and opportunities to prosper as elite Americans. It clearly indicates that America is a land of liberty and ...

The character I chose for a reflective journal is John B. Watson. He is a representative of behaviorism and one of the most important persons in American psychology. It is essential to note that his views prevailed in American psychology for 50 years, and nowadays his ideas in altered form are still important. However, I am impressed by his points of view, behavioral, and radical experiments with a child. John B. Watson launched the behaviorist movement, rejected the philosophy of the past, the method of introspection, and mentioned that mental events were beyond the pale of scientific psychology. Unfortunately, ...

In the section “Thinking About Diversity: Race, Class and Gender,” the authors discuss a number of issues relating to the way tables are used in research and how surveys are conducted in said research. Investigating the ‘African American elite,’ the colloquial term used for highly successful African Americans, the researchers discussed in the chapter exhibited an example of snowball sampling in her interviews with her subjects by interviewing people she knew and getting them to bring others in for interviews as well. This also showcases how, while easy and appealing, it has its drawbacks in only having a limited ...

Although the times of oppression related to gender, class, and race seem to have gone by, the issues of discrimination still matter in our country even nowadays when people finally seem to understand that diversity should be celebrated. According to Andersen and Collins, attitudes toward gender, class, and race are the foundation of our society and it is impossible to understand its structure, nor organization without taking into account this triad (Andersen & Collins, 2). This paper focuses on three issues related to how the subject should be dealt with in the modern context: intersection, or overlapping of different ingredients ...

Sherman Alexie’s poem “Evolution” is a scathing indictment of the white European settlement of the Americas, and the subsequent subjugation of the Native American people. By spinning the tale of white conquest over the Natives, and the economic dependence the Natives were forced to have on whites after that, into a fable involving famed Western icon Buffalo Bill, Alexie satirically points out the hypocrisy by which the white Western narrative makes a fable out of the removal of Native peoples and culture from their own hands. The poem begins with the establishment of Buffalo Bill, who “opens a ...

Each and every part of the fairy tale has its own significant meaning, which makes the story even more unique in the reader’s imagination and brings deeper symbolism into the perception of the tale. One of such elements is the forest, where the little Snow White has found dwarfs. This element has various explanations, depending on the way the reader perceives and understands the tale. The forest may symbolize the dark period of life – the period of decline, depression, loss of hope, etc. It may also symbolize a time of issues, problems represented through the trees and grass, ...

Introduction

Since the dawn of human civilization annihilation of millions of people has been occurring. After the two World Wars, this annihilation took place through many civil wars fought within the nations all over the world. The Genocide or the mass killing of a particular ethnic group has been a common phenomenon in civil wars. In 1990s, the Kashmiri Hindus were expelled by Muslim terrorists through severe massacre. The question is whether mass massacre is the answer to any problem. There is a universal agreement that genocide is immoral and unethical (Jones, 1999). Still even after the horrified consequences of ...
