    In today’s society, racism, prejudice, and stereotyping is often frowned upon and seen as politically incorrect. This wasn’t always the case, because just four decades ago, racism, prejudice and stereotyping was seen as a social norm. However, thanks to great leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Andrew Goodman and many others, we as people are allowed to live in a more diverse and welcoming environment that gives equal rights and respect to everyone no matter race, size, or country of origin. Although it is important to recognize the progress we have made throughout the years, it is also crucial that students are aware and understand the numerous obstacles that people of color had to go through, to further appreciate…

In Survivor, ‘the good people of Tender Branson Enterprises’ take the shameless commercialization of religion to hilarious extremes. This is illustrated by the tacky merchandizing of Tender’s religious fame such as ‘the Bible Diet…the book Money-Making Secrets of the Bible…The Tender Branson Dashboard Statuette.’ Tender himself is acutely aware of this ridiculousness, wryly remarking of his own board game ‘Bible Trivia’, ‘”As if anything God says is trivial”’. Palahniuk’s point is abundantly clear: modern religion has become a sacrament of consumption where ignorance is mass-produced.…

These 4,000 merely makeup .006 percent of the black seniors in this country, and they shine a light on an area that the Ron Brown Scholar program needs to address.

    My background and the cultural competency that I obtained from my interactions with varying populations, will allow me to bring a diverse perspective to the NJMS community. During my time at Rutgers, I mentored minority students and students from low-income families for three years. As someone who grew up depending on public assistance, I was able to form meaningful relationships with these students because I understood first hand some of the challenges they faced. These experiences have taught me how to recognize an individual’s unexpressed needs and has strengthened my ability to communicate with people from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. When looking towards the future, such skills will enable me to effectively address…

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…
