    Privilege refers to certain advantages, rights and immunities given to a select group of individuals (Privilege, Cambridge English Dictionary). It is derived “from (the) Latin (word) privilegium, meaning a law for just one person, and a benefit enjoyed by an individual or group beyond what's available to others” (Privilege - Dictionary Definition). American society has an unwritten system of privileges based on sociological hierarchy, economics and race. This unjust system generates a range of emotions from hopelessness and outrage to the other extreme of entitlement. In the article, “White Privilege on the Streets of Ferguson,” Pastor Marie explores her own connection to being privileged as a white, woman and pastor, and how it affected…

    Before the 19th century, white women were scarce in the Western Territories of what is now know as Canada. This means that European fur traders were likely to marry native women. In Chapter one, Enter the White Man, the author gives information about the two main fur trading companies that operated in the region before merging to become one. The first, The Hudson Bay Company, did not approve of marriages to native women on the grounds of the cost of supporting extra people. On the other hand, the second company, the North-West Company saw the importance of allowing European men to take native wives.…

    I believe in what these author trying to tell us that people have a different way of seeing what a “White Privilege” is and how it can affect a person to see it in a racist way. I do believe that social media is one of the reasons why kids grow up to be ignorant and racist. Social media change the perception of what race really is, and that race does not have to be different. We all bleed in the same color, and that no race is above other. After reading DiAngelo and Mclntosh, I don’t think that white privilege exist anymore, and DiAngelo is the proved.…

    Jose Vargas’s story is one of fear, secrets, and struggles with a glimmer of hope at the end. You may see all of his struggles as just a mass of problem after problem without any significance in the individual stories. I do not believe this to be true. I believe one story in particular was used as an excellent tool. The story of Jose’s coming out as a homosexual was used to show what was to come.…

In the article I have supplied about maternity leave, it focuses on the dad’s long-term engagement with the child.…

A person can be whomever they want, with little to no restriction. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to protect the rights of American citizens.

    In my previous paper, I mentioned how a Hispanic homeless man was kicked out of an establishment because he was seen as a disturbance. I made a point that he just wanted a place to rest and a slice of pizza. However, one customer started complained, once the vagrant came to her to ask for money. As she was arguing with the homeless man she made a point that homeless people decide to be homeless. And, that just seems like she was blaming the victim; blaming the homeless man for not being to have the same access as we do.…

    In the 1990’s where the film industry came to dominance, actors were cast to portray roles of racial minority characters conspicuously and blatantly. The concept of white washing, orientalism or cultural appropriation were not prompted into the minds of directors, actors, movie-goers or virtually anyone of the time yet. With this, there was barely or if any characters of colour being casted for roles that they were the basis of. This notion has since continued onto contemporary society today, however, audiences today are now realising the lack of authenticity in casting white actors in racially parallel roles. The idea of ‘white-washing’ that is defined as favouring white actors and casting them into a non-white role completely changes the structure of the character, and at times whole context, of the film.…

    First there is the interpretation of blacks in the film. Mammy is the faithful servant of Scarlett and her family, she follows her family throughout the war and even stays with them afterwards. What is controversial is that Mammy is viewed as the faithful negro, who was okay with the south’s order of society. The relationship between master and slave also is romanticized. The masters are portrayed as loving people who care dearly for slaves, treating them kindly and with care, because there is a hierarchy, therefore everyone is where they need to belong.…

    “I bet you wouldn’t be doing this if I was white!” This statement, or a variation of it, has been at least in the mind at least once of every black person. But why? Is it because they’re trying to make everything about race? Or is it something deeper in their understanding about a certain preference society has placed due to stereotypes?…

    Admittedly, it is within human nature to group similar people together as a way of organizing and making sense of the vastly diverse world around us. Psychology provides an explanation for this through the term social-categorization: the innate cognitive process in which people make sense of the complex world they live in by allocating similar individuals into social groups. Albeit being a natural human tendency, social grouping, more often than not, turns into stereotyping and discrimination. Consequently leading to discrimination and incorrect rationalizations of select social groups: the most compelling example of inappropriate social-categorization being classism. Classism is defined according to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary as…
