...We need to figure out what we can do as a society to fix these issues with race in today’s modern world. There are many key components to race, but we need to focus on the ones that truly matter. Those issues could have solutions for solving race and ethnicity problems. One key issues with race is that race determines people’s opportunities in life and it affect what you can and can’t do. In order for this issue to go away there needs to be a solutions that could solve it or at least eliminated the problem to the point where it’s barely noticeable or exists. The only way that it could possibly permanently go away is by having companies get rid of their certain social qualities like race and ethnicity. However, there is one problem with this solution that I came up with and that is: If companies were to completely get rid of those social qualities from their application requirements then the company could lose their control over how their company is portrayed and run. I know for...

...Definition of Race Race is a group of people of common ancestry, distinguished from others by physical characteristics, such as hair type, the color of eyes and skin. Race as a social construction is changing as time goes on. Our daily lives are affected by race whether we are aware of it or not. We can see all over the world that race has affected various domains of our lives. From the types of jobs we have the amount of money we make, the kinds of friends we keep, the food we eat and even the schools we will attend. The entire foundation of race is constructed on a platform based on the color of people’s skin. The construction of social reality is based on social groups and the agreements and disagreements that are made based on the acceptance of certain constructions when it comes to our existence. There is nothing biologically real about race. I have learned that that there is no certain identification of race that exists from our collective agreements, acceptance, and positions other than our existing with one another. Race is a social construction that has real consequences and effects. Race shapes the way we view ourselves and those around us. We shouldn’t have an objective knowledge about race. We can know what race is and how it works being aware that regardless of the various shifts in the meaning of race that they have occurred through history and going to occur geographically but this should not lead to skepticism and the destruction of positive social constructions...

McIntosh has a lot of knowledge and wisdom in the fields of race and gender, and does a great job of exemplifying this in the video. McIntosh speaks of several myths about race, unearned advantages that the white race has, and also speaks on the different thoughts and emotions felt by society in regards to race. The first myth, meritocracy, states that everybody simply gets what they deserve. The...

...Microaggression: “a comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group (such as a racial minority)” (Merriam- Webster) Microaggression have become in recent years part of the conversation on race in America. Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric sheds light on microaggression towards people of color in American society. She uses poetry and pictures to weave a story about race in America today. Yet race problems are not something new in human history, in Shakespeare’s Othello named after the main character who is a black man, in an all white society. Othello married Desdemona, a white venetian women and around them the plot circles. Microaggression have been part of our society for awhile. These two text show race is two different societies and time periods. Yet the similarities between race relation in each text, begs the question how far we really come in race relations. Citizen and Othello shed light on...

...Messinger ENC 1101 4 June 2011 End of Race-Is it Possible? Steve Olsen and Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, had an interesting discussion about the human race, where they both expressed a valid concern about its genetic future. However, they used two different approaches to prove their theories. The Dalai Lama, in 2005, wrote the book, The Universe in a Single Atom. In his chapter “Ethics and the New Genetics” Gyatso focuses on the benefits of genetic engineering and its enormous potential, while warning us of its harmful consequences. In contrast, but yet pursuing the same point, Steve Olson in his book “Mapping Human History” (2002) and the chapter “The End of Race: Hawaii and the Mixing of Peoples” traces the differences and similarities between people of various races and ethnicity. He uses the frequencies of genetic mutations in the mitochondria, migration from one continent to another and racially mixed populations where the target is the mostly American state of Hawaii. Should the world be concerned about the end of singular genetic ethnicity of each race? And is it going to happen? Race most likely will disappear as we now know. It seems to have been defined as two general groups-white and black, distinct from one another by only color of complexion. The white race will not be truly white, the black race will not be truly black, and the brown, yellow and red races will not be truly genetically ethnic either. What does race actually mean? According to Longman...

...In the documentary assigned they go into great detail about how race is perceived by people in todays modern society. The documentary honestly did not change any of the assumptions that I already had about race. It is kind of just part of society today that people often get stereotyped by the race that they are. For example I feel like most people in todays society think that people of African decent have more athletic ability that than people of all other races. Another example from the movie is that white people are more privileged than other races and once again I feel that is a very common issue in todays society that is assumed by a lot of people. The one thing from the movie that did surprise me though was that people of two different races some times have very little genetic diversity. They said that people of two different races sometimes have less diversity than people of the same race. I found that to be very odd because I though genes were what determined ones race and people of the same race would have very similar genes....

...mainly influenced by race. Although the races are ambiguous to the reader, the main characters Twyla and Roberta deal with an increasingly strained friendship until the two eventually reconcile at an older age. Through the use of first person narration, Morrison presents the issue of race and racism in a controlled, but effective perspective. Twyla’s first person narration is the only view of events we see and in turn becomes our own view. From the beginning of the story when Twyla and Roberta meet we get the sense that there is already a great divide between them, “It was one thing to be taken out of your own bed early in the morning-it was something else to be stuck in a strange place with a girl from a whole other race” (139). We never find out what race Twyla or Roberta is, but this initial introduction shows that at least Twyla is uncomfortable being around Roberta. Is it really important that we know which race is which? Many people, myself included, read this over many times looking for clues that would indicate Twyla and or Roberta’s race. However, the only conclusion I reach is that it is unimportant whether or not we know. The fact that the friendship is interracial is enough to convey the theme. In fact, by not specifying either race it makes the story stronger. It is no longer a story about a white girl and a black girl, but a story about two girls living in a racist time. This ambiguity is another tool used by Morrison to emphasize the role that race plays in our lives...

...Race, White Privilege, and the Gospel Pre-Presbytery Workshop Presbytery of Chicago October 12, 2010 David Esterline, McCormick Theological Seminary Jennifer Ikoma-Motzko, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship 1 Why work against racism? Theological foundations God created all people good. To deny some people (because of skin color or language) the privileges other have, is to deny God’s good creation. To allow this system—in which some receive advantages simply because of skin color—to go unchecked is to deny that God made all people in God’s own good image. 2 Race Race is a social and political reality, not a biological or genetic reality. There is widespread agreement among scholars that race, as understood in the United States, is a social construct – rather than an objective, scientifically or biologically consistent characteristic of a person or group of persons. 3 Race How is it that there is such certainty about a concept that is so poorly defined? There is no agreement among scholars about a biological or physiological definition that can be sustained. 4 Race “Present-day inequalities between so-called ‘racial’ groups are not consequences of their biological inheritance but products of historical and contemporary social, economic, educational, and political circumstances.” American Anthropological Association 2006 5 Race Rewards—indicators of well-being—in the U.S. are based on racial group more than on any other characteristic or association...

...Kwame Anthony Appiah’s essay, “Race, Culture, Identity” revolves around the words mentioned in the title, and how each one of their definitions are misunderstood and mistaken for one another. He works his way towards clarifying what each one means, using various concepts, examples and references to the words of historical figures. Two of the concepts used to identify what a race was were the ideational meaning and referential meaning. Out of the two, ideational meaning is one where one cannot get a clear definition about what a certain word or object is, however, all the facts presented about it still hold true. “The simplest theory would also require that if we collected together all these criterial beliefs about race and took them all together, they could be thought of as defining the meaning of the word, “race.” (This is equivalent to saying that there are things that have to be true of something if it is to be a race – conditions necessary are, when taken together, sufficient for being a race.) We can use a device invented by the English philosopher Frank Ramsey in the 1920s to make this an explicit definition: something is a race just in case all the criterial beliefs are true of it. Lets call this the “strict criterial theory.” (Appiah 104) Appiah had stated earlier, right before this quotation, that criterial beliefs “define the concept” that one is talking about. For example, if a person was talking about a laptop, certain points or descriptions such as “it needs...

...Section 031 2/12/16 #3 How Nation Thinks About Race The U.S has shown an interesting feel for race and how the U.S profiles each human in the United States Census, as portrayed in the article, "Time to transform how nation thinks about race". Towards the end of the article, it was stated "how America and even the world think (or do not think) about race." However, after reading the article, one could conclude that the U.S doesn't not care about race, but is trying and needs to ensure that the census is on point with including all social profiles, relevant to the U.S. One could actually grow to agree with Charmaine Royal's argument, including me, also believing it to be effective. The article has used plenty of evidence to support her implication that the U.S needs to transform how the U.S feels about race. Muslims represent a religion, not a race and therefore "Muslim" should not be a category included in the Census. America is and has been for many years having problems with terrorism and Muslims attacking and bombing places in our country. For instance, "911", being arguably the most tragic moment for U.S history, has devastated the U.S people. People have grown to stereotype Muslims as being mainly terrorists, when it is not true for all of them. Even friends of mines have actually seen Muslims around and have automatically made terrorist jokes about the Muslims. In my opinion, having Muslim, which is, in fact, a religion not a race, included in the Census will just alienate...

Inequality amongst Races and Ethnicity ▪ What is race and ethnicity? ▪ Should race exist ▪ Inequality among races Racism against African Americans ▪ Slavery ▪ Racial Profiling ▪ Stereotypes ▪ Causes and Effects of Racism Social status and race inequality ▪ Social/Racial classification ▪ Education inequality ▪ Labor/income Inequality Laws and Policies ▪ Affirmative action policies ▪ Equal Opportunity Policy ▪ Civil Right Act The social stance of American Minorities Now ▪ African Americans Conclusion In this essay one will come to a better understanding of racial and ethnic inequality and why it exists. It is evident that inequality amongst certain races is evident; however, it also linked to a variety of perspectives that account for the continuation of racial, ethnic discrimination and inequality. The story of race is intricate and may challenge how we think about human differences and race as whole entity. Race is a socially constructed group of people who have the same biological traits that society (Macionis 2007). Race is a category used to define people and now society uses this categorization to reflect physical differences. Society places great emphasis on race because it used to divide...

... Karissa Sullivan May 6, 2013 Mixed Racial and Cultural Groups of the United States is a huge topic being discussed recently because mixed racial relationships are increasing daily all around the world, but especially with-in the United States. There are many individuals who elaborate on whether or not each group expects to be treated as a separate entity, or be considered just Americans without the hyphen. Is the United States better off by classifying individuals by their ethnic background? What do we actually gain by these separate entities? Why is the government so concerned on everyone’s ethnic background? These are just a few of many questions that are being discussed and I will answer based on facts. While mixed racial and cultural groups continue to rise in the United States, it seems that the vast majority continues to pursue their separate ethnicity with-in the United States, but when approached abroad with-in another country, they seem to consider themselves as Americans vice African-American, Mexican American, Asian American, etc. (Perez and Hirshmann, “The Changing Racial and Ethnic Composition of the United States). Many Americans have multiple identities that reflect complex ancestral origins, tribal and communal associations, and varied ideological outlooks on race and culture. In general, people do not change their ethnicities as a matter of fashion, but they may emphasize different aspects depending on the circumstances. The United States is better...
