“ BANG!” I slammed the door shut hesitating to start a new life if the place I missed very deeply. I was threshing the moments at mars as the shuttle started to blast off. The shuttle wasn’t so bad, it was big, the colors inside were all gray, black, and white. I was pretty lonely in the shuttle all I did was sleep , read,eat the food in the boxes, and think about Nana. 6 months later I squealed knowing that the shuttle just landed. As I took a deep breath and stepped off the shuttled I thought to myself about how I took all this time and effort to see my Nana and she might be dead. “I’m here,” I yelled anxiously excited to see what the world looks like.
As I limped out of the shuttle colors of blue and green we're everywhere. “Hey, I think

There were weird objects I had felt that I’d seen before, I noticed it was a cat scan room. They laid me down on the cold bed and the scan began. All I could hear was the machine telling me what to do, all I saw was a bright light, all I tasted was the radiation, all I smelt was a clean gown, all I felt was cold air as she waited for the scan to be over. After the scan was finished. I started to panic knowing that my legs could be shattered. The doctor handed me a paper and the paper stated that my legs had shattered, I had a consion, and a heart attack. I panicked the doctors told me to call my parents so I called my grandpa also known as Papa. I told him everything and how I’d be in a wheelchair for 6 months. My Papa came to pick me up from the hospital. When I and my Papa came home we laid down and chatted for a while. I asked him “Where’s Nana?”He responded “Georgie your nana is in mars remember?” Yet I didn’t remember that. He told me “ You probably forgot because you hit your head so hard.” I saw a box behind the tv. “What is that?”, I asked. “It’s a box with old photos and video of you, your parent, and Nana.”Papa replied. “Can we watch the videos?”I asked. “It’s up to you.” Papa replied. I put in the tape and hit play. We began to watch the videos. All of the sudden a video of my Nana teaching me how to swim came on, my eyes started to water as Nana taught me how to swim. “Georgie dear, kick your left foot and then your right

    Genelyn Garma Professor Van Eijk Anthropology 474 25 October 2014 The Spectrum of Race Medical knowledge has become a powerful tool to exploit differences within individuals in our society. The differences among individuals on the basis of social characteristics and qualities, known as social differences, are perceived through research and studies in a negative manner. Gender, race, socioeconomic status, and income are one many examples of social differences that exist. Through articles that we have read in the past, it could be arguably be seen that the question of race and gender alone are motivation for medical professions to conduct research to distinguish and/or create a type of person out of the spectrum that society have created.…

    In “More Than Just Race: Being Black and Poor in the Inner City”, Wilson considers institutional and cultural factors as causes that reinforce racial inequality. These two factors also intersect to produce poverty in Black communities. Three major points are developed in the book that I agree with, which are: forces contributing to the concentrated poverty in Black communities, the limited economic opportunities available to inner city Black males; and the fragmentation of the poor and low- income Black family. These three issues support his arguments by illustrating how it is unfair to blame people who have limited resources. These arguments serve as a way to challenge both social structure and culture forces in order to create adequate policies.…

    Back in 1950s anthropologists discovered that race was just a myth. Why should we be divided by race in the first place? When you watched the news you see all these Caucasian cops shooting African Americans that have guns or fighting back with the cops causing a riot over racism, but when the tables are turned around and an African American cop shoots a Caucasian guy that clearly is following the law and has his hands up it doesn't show up on the news because supposedly that is okay and not racism. Race is a "scientific fact" because I believe there is no such thing because we shouldn't be judged on our color, race is supposed to tell us something about our genetic history. In biological terms, race is the process of evolution and the origin of species, it is a part of the formation of the new species and differentiations.…

    Race as A Classification Of Social/Human Construct Nigger, cracker, redneck, and hillbilly are all words people use to classify people of skin color, dialect, culture or ‘race’. The use of such terms have been established as a result of discrimination on the basis of classification of race by social and human constructs. John Glover Roberts Jr., the 17th and current Chief Justice of the United States stated, “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” Throughout time, many arguments have risen over the topic of what classification of race is. Race as a classification is a social and human construct even though many argue that classification by race as a biological.…

    Reading one Question: 1) Why was the social classification of race invented? Race being the social classification in which we distinguish one another by our ethnic and or regional background, enables us to not only create, but uphold systematic social status throughout the world. As proven through scientific research, race is not a substantive concept, but rather an unfounded concept that has been used to separate the human race overtime. This being the case, race was invented to create social class ranks; which sanctioned the appalling treatment of non-whites throughout the past couple of centuries. Is Afrocentrism a response to racism?…

    Every now and then I find myself staring into space, reminiscing the past, particularly where I grew up. As I get deep in thought, my senses start to tingle, the very image of my mother standing in the kitchen, the floral scent of her perfume, the roaring oven aided by the thunderous but yet subtle kitchen ventilation that is always on when she is cooking. My mind starts to wander and it takes me to my room, chaotic and unorganized, yet I knew where everything is placed. My clothes were all over the place, it was a habit of mine to dump all my clothes on the floor and my mother was always the one who had to look after my mess. My grandpa’s war movies are still clearly embedded in my memory, he loved to watch documentaries or even propaganda regarding the second sino-Japanese war, my grandpa was a hardcore patriot.…

    Racial Privilege and Stereotype Racial Stereotyping and Privilege has been a big cause throughout the history of the world, whether it be the discrimination that took place within a political force or just dating back to 1942 with the Europeans coming over and taking land from the Native Americans.
