equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity - or political ideology” (Crowley). This quote can be related back to the beginning of time regardless of what race, gender, faith, ethnicity, or political ideology you stand behind.

The male characters are dressed in smart, expensive suits, which could suggest that they are highly respected and that they are confident and paramount. Additionally, fashion is regarded important in Italian families. After Michael Corleone becomes the head of the Corleone family, he says ‘women and children can be careless, not men’ which could suggest that the men in the family are…

This should be taught in EWRT 1B because to this day, students in college are afraid to take pride in their ethnicity or to show their sexuality in fear of being judged. Many students in society often get bullied because of their race. Reality shows that even some companies hire/terminate employees based on race, even when they are not allowed to discriminate.

They were Hebishi was only treated so badly because she is the same ethnicity as the people involved in the 9/11…

1999 in Arcadia, Florida. At first glance, you will see light skin and hair as blue as the sea. At first glance you will see their brown skin and their hair as dark as midnight. The world seems to have this perceived image that all people of on ethnicity act and look the same, but I undeniably contradict that. Blue hair and light skin with a grungy style and hipster ways.

Stereotypes and prejudices are also formed to help justify the oppression…
