Dominant minority

1. A. One instance of how minority group to dominant group’s response pattern of acceptance was portrayed was when the cops pulled Terrence Howards and his TV wife over and one of the cops began to molest his wife. The couple had done nothing wrong, but the cop pulled them over anyhow because “they are up to something”. When he threatens to arrest the couple, and begins to “search” the wife for weapons he asks Howard what we can do about the situation. He can either apologize for his and his wife’s actions, and be let off with a warning, or they can be arrested. Howards chooses to apologize while his wife is being felt up by the officer. The couple had done nothing wrong. The actions of the police officer were in the wrong, yet they couple…

measure twenty-four. The “middleman,” or the quarter note, serves to bridge the eighth notes and cadences together as well as function as giving the movement moments to breathe, almost like a quasi-cadence. Interestingly enough, the quarter notes outline the tessitura of each phrase. Sometimes, the quarter note is a fourth or fifth apart from notes of the phrase. All rhythmic patterns in both the Menuets interconnect to create a smooth melodic line to transition to the cadence, the end goal. My…

like typical setting but it actually has very interesting setting. For the standard setting of string quartets are 4 movements. First movement is usually in sonata form and fast movement in the tonic key. Second movement is slow movement and in a related key. 3rd movement is Minute and trio in the tonic key and the last movement (4th movement) is usually Rondo form or sonata form in the tonic key. However, the sequence of movements of this string Quartet is not matching with this traditional…

Minority Rules Religion is one of the largest controversies in the world, and this is mainly because of how many different people with different backgrounds and cultures are in America. It creates positivity and brings people together, while making countries fight and cause terrorism. America founded its nation on religion, and has slowly pushed it away year by year. Religion is being pushed out of our classrooms, schools, and communities because of the small percentage of people in America that…

Canadian citizens see countless cultures and ethnicities around them no matter where they live. The country is so rich in culture it is a wonder why native-born white Canadians are continuing to keep such negative thoughts hidden, only to come out when they have the power to accept or turn away a visible minority. Research by Esses et al. (2007) has shown that White Canadians are often uncomfortable around visible minorities and would rather be around people of their own ethnic group. This is…

the issue faced by women within immigrant cultures is not that of a cultural issue but an issue of cruelty and inequality. Liberal feminism supports the notion that a strong connection is present between culture and gender which unfavourably positions immigrant women within society. In addressing the matter that the assimilationists approach to immigration is now considered oppressive, Susan Okin questions what can be done when minority cultures clash with the norms of gender equality in…

Ladson-Billings writes that culturally relevant teaching is much more in depth than just adapting school culture to the culture of the students. In reality, it can also be used to help the students understand their own culture and to help them interpret and conceptualize knowledge (Ladson-Billings, 1992). For this to work and be effective, minority cultures must be acknowledged as a vital strength and asset instead of just adapting the white Caucasian to fit the needs of all minorities…

“Meritocracy” The “Asian model minority” is inevitably associated with a myriad of stereotypes. A few typical traits related to the stereotypical Asian are “nerdy,” “try-hards,” and “bookworms.” In addition, Asians are seen to be good at math, or at least supposed to be. However, people who are ignorant of the situation may still believe that being identified as the “model minority” with these “positive” stereotypes, such as being good at math, is not necessarily bad and may even be desirable.…
