I have been looking forward to this Savage Race for several reasons, for starters Garfield now works for them and I haven't gotten to see him since if I recall the OCR World Championships so I was looking forward to that and as well his influence to the Savage Race course. I also had a great time at my two previous Savage Race events and even though they removed one of my favorite obstacles (no one else would agree) the electric shock, I also got a chance to enjoy the cliff jump and ice tub obstacles that I don’t see often. As this was a busy race weekend with me racing in Pennsylvania on Saturday and Canada on Sunday, I drove down the night before to Pennsylvania and slept in the parking lot on my air mattress. The night started out nice

    Modified Racism

    Native Americans or American Indians are often depicted as the mascots of sports team, the brands of automobiles, and the logos of many food and tobacco products. Many believe that these depictions are honoring the indigenous people of the United States. However, these are ultimately harmful representations. In the 2014 Journal of Communication Inquiry 38(3) article, “How Many More Indians? An Argument for a Representational Ethics of Native Americans,” Debra Merskin reflects on how representations of Native Americans are more often than not caricatures that continue to distribute racist discourse, reinforce negative stereotypes, and reject attempts at cultural pluralism.…

    Race: The Power Of Illusion: An Analysis

    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.…

    Over the past year in GSW I have learned more for me to become be better writer. This course 1120 has shown me that I have improved from the last semester.

    Señor Lynch Reflection

    Dear 2017-2018 students, My experience in Señor Lynch’s class was really easy. The work he gave the class was really easy hat I would finish before class even ended. All you need to do to pass his class is turn everything in and stay on top of your work. Señor Lynch’s class is the easiest class if you speak spanish but if you don’t you will struggle on some things because you obviously don’t know spanish but as long as you pay attention and do the work you will pass. His class was really easy for me that I had an A all year long.…

    Kindred Reflection

    The novel, Kindred, exposed me to the un- taught lifestyles of the southern people during slavery. It left me with questions, jaw dropping moments, and surprises, but yet not, of the life styles that were practiced during the 1800s that today we might see in different forms. One event that troubled me the most was reenactment of the slave market. Kevin and Dana were walking away from the Weylin’s home and slave quarters to talk in private when they saw slave children reenacting a slave market. Then Dana said, “Even the games they play are preparing them for their future.”…

    S. Ol Reflection

    Last year I became Vice President of Student Organization of Latinos (S.O.L). Before S.O.L the only club I had been a part of was Heath Occupation Students of America (H.O.S.A) a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO). Becoming Vice President of S.O.L was something novel to me, I had no experience being a co-leader of any club but I wanted to try something new and was willing to give it my all. I knew it was going to be a challenge because S.O.L was only being established at our school and it was the club’s first year.…

    Systematic Reflection

    3. Systematic Reflection: The clearest systemic social forces at play in this case are racism and classism. I do not wish to highlight either of these as judgments on the congregation. They are, in my mind, a natural byproduct of a diverse community that came of age in an era unaccustomed to systemic reflection. On more than one occasion conversation has turned to “the Indians” who are just “waiting for us to close this church so they can get the land.”…

    Black Race Reflection

    I must say that I did not expect it too much a focal point, mainly on Black race; to be honest it made me uncomfortable and agitated in a good and bad way. I said this most especially about our discussion posts. If I am being honest now, then I must say that if feel that some people were not as honest as I would have like. However, I do think that it was a good thing because things could have become unpleasant arguments among us students. I feel like our discussions and work should be more than focusing on black people; to me, it was a disadvantage, we all had to pretend to say something nice without looking at the bad and the good.…

    Final Reflection

    My research assignment became problematic due to my weakness of correctly citing my work. I think the time that I spent in the WRGT 101 class was more than helpful in terms of the knowledge that I absorbed in regards to searching and gathering material for a topic. The topic that I selected for my paper was how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Initially, at the start of the paper, I believe myself to be highly knowledgeable on the subject but I walked away from all my research with a plethora of new information on my topic.…

    Racism In Society

    It is premised on the assumption that in a color-conscious racially stratified society, one response of populations defined as inferior would be to accept as true the dominant society's ideology of their inferiority (McVeigh, 2004). For some African Americans, the normative cultural characterization of the superiority of whiteness and the devaluing of blackness, combined with the economic marginality of blacks, can lead to the perception of self as worthless and powerless (McVeigh, 2004). Several lines of evidence suggest that the internalization of cultural stereotypes by stigmatized groups can create expectations, anxieties and reactions that can adversely affect social and psychological functioning. Fischer and colleagues' (1996) review of research from several countries indicates that groups that are socially regarded as inferior have poorer academic performance than their more highly regarded peers (such as Koreans versus Japanese in Japan, Scots versus the English in the United Kingdom, and Eastern European origin versus Western European origin Jews in Israel). Research in the United States reveals that when a stigma of inferiority is activated under experimental conditions, performance on an examination was adversely affected (David, Morris, 2000).…

    Reflective Essay On Stereotypes

    We use of stereotypes all the time without knowing it. Stereotypes are learned through direct observation from the culture around us and enter our consciousness. In our society talks out loud about egalitarianism, equality and justice as our own values, but at the same time such equality exists only as an ideal. There is still a great unconscious level of prejudice in our society that effect of racial, gender micro-aggression. The overtly biased expresses through our expressions, stance, verbal and nonverbal communication, and eye contact we make.…
