Black Ghetto Girls Analysis

Great Essays
Envision that you are a Caucasian female in an African American high school and a brawl breaks out in the school cafeteria. You go to investigate what happened. You arrive at the scene just as it is about to be broken up and you observe that one of the females (Shanice) on the floor is shouting at the other “Girl, you are so lucky! When I catch you, you’re mine!” The other female (Daryl) screams “Damn, bruh! Just leave me alone!” You shake your head in disappointment and come to the conclusion that only black ghetto girls fight for no apparent reason. About 20 minutes later you see the video of the same fight all over social media: Instagram, Snapchat, Yeti and Facebook. You decide to comment on the video. All black girls are [explicit].

The name of the witness for now is Koi. Koi claims to be a supposed friend of Daryl but in actuality she is a mere associate. Already, the perspective of Koi is altered much because she believes she is closer to Daryl that she actually is and knows more about Daryl that she actually does. A rumor had been circling the campus life saying that Daryl had stolen the boyfriend of Shanice. The rumor went on to tell the story of Daryl not caring about what Shanice had to say hence why the two got into the violent altercation. This is the story that Koi stuck with. From the judgement of Koi, she believes that Daryl deserves to get beaten up but in actuality, this is not the true story. Daryl only knew of the boyfriend of Shanice and did not find him attractive but Shanice’s boyfriend thought differently about Daryl. Shanice has heard the same rumor as Koi. Shanice decided to confront her boyfriend who of course denied that he wanted nothing to do with Daryl. The same day before the fight, Shanice saw Daryl smile at her boyfriend. This small piece of nonfactual evidence caused an outbreak between Daryl and

    Experience is the only source of wisdom and understanding; without experience, it is simply postulated and hypothetical. While knowledge is possible without experience, one will never know how to accurately apply it without the understanding gained from experience. This was the thought process of John Howard Griffin and Grace Halsell as they both chose to role play a black individual. The new lives each lived taught invaluable lessons which they passed on in their books, Black Like Me and Soul Sister, in hopes of sharing their experience to those who would not perform such an experiment. Though the experiment was performed through deception about their skin color, the experiment exposed potent, basic truths of African Americans in a hegemonic white culture that prove to be invaluable towards moving to a place of reconciliation.…

    Race is a social issue that has been discussed for many years, and the fact that individuals are still presently talking about their experiences with race-related conversations is disheartening. Drew Hayden Taylor’s essay, “Pretty Like a White Boy: The Adventures of a Blue Eyed Ojibway”, is about Taylor’s experiences as a half-Ojibway and half-Caucasian Canadian, and in that essay, he uses the term “Special Occasion” to describe himself. Wayson Choy’s essay, “I’m a Banana and Proud of It”, is about being one of many “bananas”, assimilated Chinese immigrants. Taylor and Choy are two Canadian authors who faced racial prejudices throughout their lives and documented their experiences in their respective essays. While “Special Occasion” and “banana” are clever terms, Choy’s use of the word “banana” stands out in terms of simplicity, how often the word is used and his opinion on the word.…

    Over the week, I learned a lot of facts about the sexism in language, the terms that used to address men and women in particular and social viewpoint toward each gender. The value of a woman is based on how attractive she looks, while a man is valued for his physicality and accomplishments. In the article, she points out the most common phrase that people would describe each gender role, which is "Women are sexy; men are successful." Evidently, the first thing that people would look at a woman is her body, is she sexy enough or does she has a glamorous body, etc. As if she has done nothing honorable, even though she is a great actress who does the job passionately.…

    Sex And The City Analysis

    Sex and the City mostly contains various amount of scenes of the women having sex and talking about sex like men. This demonstrates the double standard that men are able to sleep around and act so dominant without society disagreeing or judging, but if women do the same, they will immediately be considered as “dirty.” Therefore, the women throughout the show create a good visual to the audience on their different perspectives of sex, and make it pretty clear on their mindset that casual sex is acceptable. These women are viewed as independent and self-loved women who have such “normal” lives in the Big Apple. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda go through modern social issues such as sexuality and femininity, also while having many differences…
