    Looking at the Texas split Executive branch or plural executive it has for the most part had mixed reviews. On one hand it does afford the people a bit more say in state politics and divides power ensuring there is no one source of failure. However it has also been criticized for its lack of efficiency when it comes to decision making due to multiple parties failing to come to a decision. However the plural executive is a popular choice in many states and seems to regulate power effectively. For this reason I would not change Texas’s current plural executive branch system.…

Pluralism should not always be seen as a bad thing, there are some great things about diversity; God created it! On the other hand sin has come into the world and changed it.…

    The movie that I have chosen about contemporary American high school social life is the 1985 classic, The Breakfast Club. I chose this movie because I believe it displays an accurate representation of the sociological discussion from Milner’s article. Milner talks about how norms are important when it comes to shaping a student’s status in schools. Everyone knows the famous quote from the breakfast club “You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.”…

    Multiculturalism, the view that cultures, races, and ethnicities, particularly those of minority groups, deserve special acknowledgement of their differences within a dominant political culture. That acknowledgement can take the forms of recognition of contributions to the cultural life of the political community as a whole, a demand for special protection under the law for certain cultural groups, or autonomous rights of governance for certain cultures. Multiculturalism is both a response to the fact of cultural pluralism in modern democracies and a way of compensating cultural groups for past exclusion, discrimination, and oppression. Most modern democracies comprise members with diverse cultural viewpoints, practices, and contributions.…

    While reading the article A White Women of Color by Julia Alvarez I found myself continuously comparing her experiences with my own. During this class this is the first time it has happened to this degree, I thought it was interesting. Within Alvarez’s article you can find evidence of the struggle between cultural assimilation and pluralism. Our lecture notes describes assimilation as “what happens when a smaller cultural or ethnic group is absorbed into a larger or more dominant group”. The most common assimilation Americans have been taught about is what happened to Native Americans, the forced assimilation they endured.…

    The Breakfast Club (Part Two: Theories) Social Identity Theory: “Tajfel (1979) proposed that the groups (e.g. social class, family, football team etc.) which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world.” (McLeod 2008) In this movie there are five adolescents trying to find themselves and fit in within the groups they currently belong or have migrated into; the exception of one, Allison who acts out in mannerism that isolates her which is easier than trying to fit it. Andy and Claire belong to the ‘cool/popular kids’ the jocks, the cheerleaders the prom queens.…
