United States is considered to be a melting pot of many ethnicities. These ethnicities have helped United States grow, develop, and change by working together.

The core of nationalism is nation hence it projects an…

jogging pace. I look over to see Coyote, he is the leader of the group. I have heard of all kinds of stories about Coyote’s journeys to America. He is tall about six feet tall. He has broad shoulders making him look well built. His dark black sombrero, which he has never taken off. The most memorable feature of his is the deep, still red colored scar across his face from his right eye to his mouth. He keeps saying that it came from the border patrol. Which I doubt but who was I to question him?…

Section III: Muslim Separatism and the zero-tolerance attitude from central government After examining the cultural and economic perspectives, we shift our focus to the most fundamental issue. The importance of religion is beyond question in studying the tension.

Sexual orientation and gender are controversial when applied to pop-culture and reality. Under these assumptions is when Hollywood plays a role in movies and shows to show superiority or inferiority among a group of people. Omi quotes, “White men could seduce racial minority women, but white women were not to be linked to minority men,” (545). The struggle of class in society deeply affects the idea given as who is superior and whether race defines a person…
