So many people are affected by racism in their everyday lives. It has been a major issue for years and so many have fought to stop it, while others prefer to be superior to others.

The world will not survive for much longer if others choose to try and have power. At the moment, the problem is that so many people think that there is no racism, and are not aware that racism is still a major issue.…
Our society is like a statue, they both need the proper structure needed in order to keep it steady, but when one piece does not fit, then they will both topple down. Although statues may not relate to the problem, racism can relate to the one piece that does not fit, and this problem is explained in the articles " Black Men In Public Spaces", by Brent Staples, and " Is Everyone A Little Bit Racist" , by Nicolas Kristof.

All races deserve and should get equal opportunities in their life. It is up to us as a society to recognize and change our mindset.

Unfortunately for our own good, this has been forgotten by many and we sadly belong to a world where we judge people by skin color.…
Racism has turned our society into one full of hate and discrimination based of skin color and cultural beliefs. Unfortunately, discrimination has done more than just separate individuals socially it has also divided them into high and low economic classes. We have created a society in which people who are born into lower classes are unable to climb the social ladder and reach an elite economic status. Our society has made it almost impossible for those who are not in power to ever reach such a position. We have created a society in which those who are suffering will continue to suffer and be looked at as a having no value or ability to contribute to the success of the economy and structure of society.…
In 2011, just over a quarter of people believed that racism was a big problem in America. Five years later, about forty-nine percent of people believe racism is a major concern (Terry).

Racism is a topic that’s really iffy now a day in this day in age. It’s one of the most important issues in the world that’s being dealt with today. Ignorance, fear, and hatred are probably some of the reasons why it’s happening today. Just because a person from a different color race or their skin is a different color from yours; why do they have to be treated differently or even out casted from others? However, when they do wrong, everyone else from that race is discriminated and judged, even profiled by people from other races, ethnic backgrounds and skin colors.…

Shivam 1 Shivam Gupta Professor Keith MacDonald Composition 1 20 October 2017 Read Like a Writer In Mike Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer” he explains how one can become a better reader simply by trying to understand the article from the point of view of the writer, by analyzing every word, sentence or paragraph with one question in mind, "what effect did the writer intend to have with these words?". I believe it is important for us to have this skill because it gives us a better insight into what we are reading, it helps us understand on a deeper level exactly what the article is trying to tell us and in response, this teaches us better techniques and skills to become better writers. Using guidelines set by Bunn in his article, I will illustrate…
