Reflective Essay On My Ethnicity

Improved Essays
Growing up in New York, we are consistently surrounded by all types of ethnicity, race, gender and so forth. We’ve all come to learn how to appreciate all the things in our life. Being of West Indian background, I consistently get confused about what I am or what I am not. I’ve come to appreciate so much about my ethnicity that I did not care about before. Traditions that I follow are widely being viewed at with such awe from other races and backgrounds.
My family plays a big role in how I interact with others of different ethnicity and race. I grew up thinking of everyone as an equal not as we are individually better than the other. Being raised in another country at a very young age, I picked up the little things that are not fully taught

Being 21, sometimes is hardest and easiest part of life, we are living in a time we must fight the government for our future. Females are now being seen more differently by the government because of one brave individual that is stepping up the plate, our first female running mate for the U.S presidency. Being a female may have just become a little easier, before society always deemed female unfit to do what a man can. We have proven that to be otherwise many years ago, but that is still controversial in the U.S and in the rest of the world. On that point there are few too little programs being offered in the residential district of greater at risk individuals to help them go in the correct …show more content…
There are many situations that are being gentrified, schools are being built, the rent is becoming higher and totally different races are taking over what belongs to others. They think they are only answering what is sufficing for the residential area, but when looking at it in a different perspective, we get to realize that it is indeed hurting those who already have a life built in motion. Government officials that are putting this into motion believe that they are fixing the boroughs that are at risk, they are fixing other cities but they are only doing what they deem

    I was born on December 20th, 1996, in Vienna, Virginia. My incredible parents, Kevin and Melissa, are black and white respectively. They both grew up without a lot, but worked tirelessly, just as their parents had done before them, to ensure that my brother and I had everything that we needed, and most of what we wanted. Although we were well above middle class on a national scale, at our predominantly white all-boys private school filled with multi-millionaire families, we were outliers. That didn’t bother me until my freshman year of high school, when I noticed that the “cool” older kids, especially the black ones, all wore basketball shoes.…

    I’m Mexican, I was born in Mexico but then brought over here to the US when I was around 3 years old. My whole family was born in Mexico and I’m the youngest child which means that all of my brothers and sister grew up for most of their childhood in Mexico and my oldest sister even got married over there. We eventually all moved over here and that resulted in our family being very culturally connected with Mexico’s culture. My mother is a strong believer in continuing cultural traditions even if we are in a different place. So she made sure we always knew a lot about where we came from or special traditions that were done in Mexico.…

    Our character is educated and shaped by the general population, gatherings and things around us. Personality and having a place, thus, are practically synonymous.

    Equally, I believe that gentrification needs to be better regulated by the government. The way the government controls it currently takes away all the power from the residents. The inhabitants are the ones who put them in office and then the government does them a disservice. In the documentary (2012), even when the community members went to town halls, protested, offered alternatives and pleaded the administration went ahead with the development anyway. At the meeting one government official even said that the displaced business was "not of substantial economic benefit to the city" but what is really the definition of economic benefit.…

    One of the most important identities to me is my blackness. As far back as I can remember I knew I was black and was very aware of the meaning of that. I went to a majority-minority middle, and high school, I live in an all-black neighborhood and, of course, I live in an all black household. For most of my life, I have mostly been around black people and people of color, so just going to school with majority white people is definitely a different experience. Race has shaped my life because growing up, most people who I saw in the mass media was white people and this includes my books, or on the magazines I bought was white.…

    Introduction Gentrification is a trend in urban communities that causes the displacement of lower income, long-time residents and small businesses with affluent middle class households. Due to the shift in culture and socio-economic status of these urban communities, there is an increase in property and rental taxes, which makes it impossible for the lower income families to compete with the rising housing rates. Gentrification has been identified as a social problem. The Fair Housing Act of 1968 was implemented to address discrimination in the housing market. This public policy can also be utilized to tackle the social injustice of gentrification.…
