Race As A Social Construct

Decent Essays
Many sociologists describe Race as a social construct, or something that appears to be natural and obvious to people who accept it but it may not be reality.Therefore many sociologists believe that race doesn't actually exist. Though people may see race, its not actually there. This would mean all the things we've ever known about race are completely pointless. Race only exists if people allow it to exist. If people believe race, then there is race. Therefore if people stop believing in race then it doesn't exist. This seems like a simple solution to racism just stop believing in race. However many people hold on to social constructs because they truly believe its there. Often these are things that have been there so long they wont know anything

    In the film “Race: The Power of an Illusion” we see that athletics is one arena where talking about ideas of inborn racial differences remains common. We have to wonder why that is. Whenever we see or hear about people playing certain sports we as human beings automatically assume that a certain race will dominate that sport. For example, in the film they talked about how African American people were considered the best at running due to our social profiling of them over a long period of time.…

    For centuries, it was believed that the darker your skin the less intelligent you are. People with darker skin were compared to monkeys because it was believed that they evolved from apes. They were separated and treated completely different from white people, one could say they were treated like animals. It took years for mankind to learn that the color of your skin does not make you different from the next person. In fact, we learned that every human being is almost the same.…

    A social construct is an idea or that appears to be natural and obvious to the people who accept it, but may or may not represent reality. This means that it remains largely as an invention of any given society. In our world today many people see race as a social construct but it was once considered a biological process but we know that this is untrue. Through research it has been shown that there is no gene common to all blacks or all whites. If race were to be identified in a genetic way, specific racial classifications for individuals would remain constant across boundaries.…

    Race is one of those subjects that you have to basically walk on egg shells to talk about, so you don’t offend anyone in the process. Race can be a good thing, since it can give someone their own cultural identity. But, it can be used as a way to justify the mistreatment of someone because of their race. You’ve seen that side of race being used heavily in the United States just for that reason. This paper will analyze the idea of race in society from a functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist point of view.…

    Explain what sociologists mean when they argue that race is a social construction. Be sure to give a specific, “real-life” example. Social construct- telling a bunch of stories we made up to assume what someone’s race is or should be, rather than accepting what it really is. For example: Many people have thought my family to be of Hispanic origin, we are half Italian and half African American…

    After reading Ian F. Lopez Haney’s article, I think race is indeed a ‘socially constructed’ concept. In US the definition of race is based on person’s physical features primarily skin color. Since skin color is related to the genetic trait, race itself must be genetic as many “biological race” folks claim. But, history of tagging the so-called diverse race classes proves that race is social constructed phenomenon. For example traditionally people categorized race as ‘Ethiopian’, ‘Caucasian’, ‘Mongolian’, ‘Malayan’ or ‘American race’ proposed by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach.…

    Race In The 20th Century

    The 20th century was quite the time for America. It was growing tremendously into the world superpower that it is today and the so called “American dream” was beginning to look like the real deal for certain people. A lot of factors have gone into this, but a question one might have is did race play a role in the shaping of America during this time and if so, how significant was its impact? I argue that through the use of harmful tactics, such as assimilation and dehumanization, race had a tremendous impact on the shaping of American society during the 20th century.…

    The readings taught me a few things. The first reading taught me that it is possible to have a conversation about race in today’s society. Race is regarded as a topic that should not be spoken of. This is because the topic can be very controversial However, in the article, Tatum explains how sympathizing with another person about racial issues is a way to start a conversation about race.…

    Race Cultural Construct

    Many biological and social anthropologists argue race is a cultural construct. We can’t define acts of injustice by examining race as independent of biological/genetic variations. Scholars discovered race didn’t exist in the 17TH century but race originated as a folk idea-it was a social invention, not a product of science. More than 400 years ago in the 1600’s Englishmen came to America seeking fortunes. They planned to overthrow the Indians by enslavement and obtain their wealth.…

    I also know that there are no superior races. Things like this tend to stick because people teach their children who teach their children; a continuous cycle. In the future I don’t think that racism will still exist. Although the ways and time of racism has changed it still exists everywhere.…

    Social constructions are categories or mechanisms that people develop through society. They are perceptions or assigned meanings that society “constructs” towards certain groups of people or culture, and have real consequences and effects. The reason that sociologists define gender and race as social constructs is because both are categories that are shaped by society and because there are no absolutes in both constructs. Gender is the characteristics and expectations of a certain biological sex based off of what society perceives them as and not what biologically defines them. Males are viewed to be macho, or strong in order to protect the family.…

    The Role of Race In Romantic Attraction to Race in Intercultural Dating Attraction is a popular field of study in psychology. In a mixed society that we exemplify today in America, it is common to see people of multiple races and ethnicities but what influences race and ethnicity have on everyday life such as it pertains to attraction is something that we are still discovering. Looking back in history, interracial communication and living is a new progression. Although the general population may not always consider how races and ethnicities play a role in our procreation and attraction to sexual partners, empirical evidence supports that race effects attraction (McClintock,& Murry, (2010). Observing how race effects attraction, and what effects…
