Ethnic groups in Pakistan

Stereotyping. Stereotyping is when you judge or assume facts about a person or group of people based on one attribute or identifying factor. Stereotyping is not an action, but the underlying thinking behind an action; therefore, it may not be known unless someone said their thoughts out loud. There is a stereotype that all high school students who live in a city and go to an urban school as people who are affiliated with gang activity. In an educational setting, this would be like a high school…

It was in March, 18, 2010, when i first came to the “Dream Land,” or should i call it, “The land of opportunity for everyone - every race, every ethnic groups, and every cultures.” Well, this is what America known as to other countries- at least to my country. I remember it was early in the morning when I landed to the American soil. The sun was just rising and peaking over the horizon. I couldn’t wait to to smell the American “air.” When i finally got out of the JFK, I smelled the air. I didn’t…

been plaguing America for a long time and Kootenai County is no exception to that . Even though we have a rather small minority group here compared to our neighbors , Spokane , Washington , or far off places like California , and Florida ; in which law enforcement and people of different ethnic groups in these places have problems working together or difficulty even just talking to each other . It 's sad that some places…

and additionally discussions, I was able to connect with an abundance of material as well as perceive a change in opinion on certain ideas which led to deep thought. While keeping in mind that there is so much more I could still learn about these groups, this course gave me a starting point from which I can go into further details. Being a high school student in a university course such as this one also allowed me to experience what post graduation education would be like and this course…

Race in the United states is a course which explores race and race relations through discussions. Through the course, we could discuss various topics which race affects. For example, we discussed the prison system, health care, poverty, education, affirmative action, and much more. Not only did we focus on African Americans and whites, but we also explore different ethnicities and the way their ethnicity and race affected them. A big focus in the class was the intersectionality of race and…

Racial and ethnicity issues have always been a topic of discussion, and these are issues that need to be improved upon. Race and ethnic issues concern inequality and diversity. Racial issues and ethnicity issues have always been difficult to handle, and manage. I envision a future society, my ideal society, in the United States to have more tolerance and allowance. Allowing others to live the life they choose, and respecting their choice, even if it goes against your personal views; while also…

racial and ethnic relations between people in society today. After researching the issue, Mastro stated, “However, what research does indicate is that these groups are commonly seen in roles tied to longstanding stereotypes” (Mastro, 4). Stereotypes are a word with a negative connotation in society, and rightfully so, as it is a widely held, overly simplified opinion of a group of people. Majority of the times, stereotypes tend not to be true and spread falsifications about the groups of people…

Dive bars are broadly defined as a shabby and disreputable establishment—essentially the lowest of quality drinking establishments. Though there are numerous guides to Boston’s “best dive bars,” this complicates the definition of what exactly constitutes what makes a bar a “dive”. If a dive bar is always shabby and seedy, is it possible to be “the best” in being the worst? If so, would the award for the best dive bar actually go to the worst? Many of these common standards that define a dive…

Authenticity and accuracy is one approach to ethnic representation in children’s literature that truly challenged me. While looking over the key terms and controversies, before reading further into the discussion, I tried to answer the questions presented to me. “What counts as authentic representation? To what extent is authenticity possible? Who determines whether a text or textual element is authentic or not? How do authenticity and accuracy affect the meaning or composition of texts?” (359)…
