The American Dream has the the possibility of becoming a reality and does not have an official definition, everyone has a different take on it. Some may say it is owning a home or receiving an education. Others might say becoming famous or wealthy. The American Dream is freedom, equal opportunities and a chance at a better life for you and your children. However, these dreams are not always possible for everyone, especially in urban areas like Washington, D.C, because of White Privilege and…
However the video showed evidence for a more complex picture, and that racism and SDHs play a much more important role. I decided to go further and specifically ask the audience how they perceive racism in Brazil? o The audience agreed that Brazil have racism. o But, the first comment (by 1 women) was that the Black people are racist against Whites?!? o That was followed by the notion that as Black people are bullied since childhood and the natural defense is to become aggressive against Whites…
are social rules and regulations as well as norms and values that universities as well as other countries have established and it is against the law/rules to discriminate against any person where the university do not tolerate with those kind of actions (Mitchell, 2016). Yet, in the year of 2016, a teenager guy who is a freshman student at East Tennessee State University crashed into a silent protest of Black Lives Matter wearing a gorilla mask and giving bananas out to them. I cannot even…
The non-action gamers were considered to be any person that had not played any video game for the past two years or played less than one to two hours a week for the past six months. Experiment one was called the “lane-keeping task” in which participants must stay…
Affirmative action was established in order to put a treaty to help create a society in which all citizens should be all positioned in a fair and an equal status.

campus and the community and donate it to those that are in need (Food Recovery Network, 2016). This group is a task group. The type of task group that this group falls under is a social action group. According to Toseland & Rivas (2012), a social action group works to “empower members to engage in collective action and planned change efforts to alter some aspect of their social or physical environment” (p. 38). This is exactly the type of group that the food recovery network consists of. The…
Affirmative action was to ensure that all Americans were treated equally disregarding their race. The meaning some how has lost its value and the understanding behind it. Diversity takes part in the controversial topic. For example, Blacks as a group have always acquired less education than Whites as a group. However, society stereotypically assume Blacks as weak minded when hearing dropouts. There continues to be controversial wrangling over Affirmative Action Program, and the future of this…
Affirmative Action Needs to be Overthrown for College Acceptance I plan to argue that college admission should not a consider a person’s gender and/or race/ethnicity but should solely focus on things that a student has control over, like grades and extracurricular activities. The idea behind affirmative action is supposed to be positive discrimination (to where the majority is the one being discriminated instead of the minority), but in the end discrimination is discrimination regardless of the…

A total of five exercises were used to identify the effects on the stimulation of the sciatic nerve and the gastrocnemius. A dissection for both labs were performed to isolate the nerve and to isolate the gastrocnemius. Both experiments used LabChart to perform various stimulations on the…
