Categorization

first similar phase of genocide was the categorization of hated groups. Investigated by the USHMM (2015), throughout Europe the difference between “Inferior” and “Superior” races became a common thought process. The races considered “Inferior” were Jews, Roma gypsies, Homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Polish, upon others. While these groups were classified as “Inferior” Hitler often referred to the Aryan race as the pure race of the world. The categorization of these “Inferior” groups were…

Spatial thinking is a child’s ability to analyze and engage in problem solving (Bojczyk, Shriner, B. M., & Shriner, M., 2012). It is using patterns and recognizing the involvement of objects(Bojczyk, Shriner, B. M., & Shriner, M., 2012). Categorization is the ability that helps a child to think logically and is another advancement within the concrete operational stage of development(Bojczyk, Shriner, B. M., & Shriner, M., 2012). Transitive inference is defined as the ability to see the…

contemporary social relevance'" as opposed to "the often more famous musicals that do not advance a particular social cause or idea, which are referred to in the text, a bit disparagingly, as 'diversionary'" (Lodge 196). This outlines our first step of categorization. I will label the first as "intentional musicals" (meaning they were crafted with an intention, be it activism, change, commentary, or other forms of social context) and take the second's name from Jones, being "diversionary". Can…

nature don’t keep the litter in the parking lot from blowing onto the hiking trails, bees from your garden from constructing beehives in your windowsill, and raccoons from knocking over your garbage cans. This displays the unnecessary nature of categorization. When science puts boundaries in place, society can create a dichotomy of power based on roles for each category. Humans are…

effects a binary view of topics like sexuality and gender could have. The most concerning aspect of the subject of binary viewership is that it applies to more subjects than what was previously listed. Society has an incredibly long history of categorization and lessening people to one of few groups, which only sets up barriers for those who do not fit into them. This process may have worked sporadically throughout history when normalization was common, but in this day and age when it is valued…

from upper middle class families, whereas 42 in-betweeners and 23 burnouts come from upper middle class families. What could also be useful is the extent to which these linguistic variables were established in junior high (middle) school. The categorization of the students and the linguistic variables chosen are not finalized in junior high. The social variables, however, are defined, regardless of whom are partaking in the social variable. For example, in junior high, some of the jocks…

Article 1 is titled “Social Information Processing n Elementary-School Aged Children with ADHD: Medication Effects and Comparisons with Typical Children” by Sarah King, Daniel Waschbusch, William Pelham Jr, Bradley Frankland, Brendan Andrade, Sophie Jacques, and Penny Corkum. The study done was to examine social information processing in medicated and non-medicated children with ADHD and in controls. There were 75 children which consisted of 56 boys and 19 girls ranging from ages 6-12. 41 of the…

In this study, Eurasian is a racial concept. It is a North American term describing a lack of genealogical consistency, like the terms mulatto, mestizo, hapa and half-breed. The twentieth-century conception of race in the United States is rooted in the powerful, although scientifically insupportable rule of hypodescent. This famous one-drop rule defining any individual with any amount of “black blood” as black logically prevents the concept of mixed race identity. People are white according to…

In his article, Andersen succinctly argued and explored the notion of race as a form of classification, nothing both its structuring/symbolic and structured/ material effects as a form of common sense and as a set of social hierarchies and divisions. With regards to Métis, Anderson argued that” Métis are classified as hybrid- with all denigrating connotation of the term - in ways that deny that we seek most, an acknowledgement of our political legitimacy and authenticity as an indigenous people”…

when social contact is not as relevant as encouraging a need for greater cognition, at least when it comes to people using stereotype corrective processes for sexual orientation. While Stern et al. warns about the implications of prejudice after categorization, prevention aimed interventions and diversity training programs that aim to stop prejudice from happening prior would do well to include measures and programs aimed at encouraging a need for cognition and teaching processes for stereotype…
