Education is something that is strongly endorsed in the United State. It is strongly endorsed, yet unequal. The U.S is one of the most diverse countries in the world. There are people of all different races and cultures. Although, there are so many diverse groups of people, Whites still remain to be the most privileged. The privileges that White people have benefit them in every aspect of life. Many readings help support the evidence of this issue such as, “The Other Struggle For Equal School:…

White Vs Black The world we live in today is not only diverse through culture, religion, and ethnic background. What most people notice is on the outside to what they can only see. Since 1896, segregation has been one of the world’s biggest issues between culture identities. Two culture identities such as white and African American people have been impacted heavily upon each other in many ways, due to the history and communication that caused enormous amount of unnecessary tension between the…

Around the time the Bill of Rights was created was when civil liberties first flourished. They are established in the Bill of Rights. Basically civil liberties are personal guarantees and freedoms that the government cannot abridge, either by law or by judicial interpretation without due process. It has been working for more than a century now and it is very important part of the Bill of Rights. The term civil liberties are often confused with civil rights. However, they are different because…

to one of the most beautiful, tropical, friendliest island ever, Puerto Rico. I ended up living in Puerto Rico until the age of 9 meaning I started my education there from PreK-4th grade. Most of my education was Spanish, I had no type of background of English at all but I still enjoyed reading in the Spanish language.

Queer African American’s have been limited by the patriarchal society from being visible. United States history has created a negative image on African American woman that has made them oppressed throughout their life. That oppression has made it even harder for Queer African American to find a place in society. Queer African American experience the harshest persecution from women, people of their own race, men, ect. Racism, sexism, and heterosexism are all connected to Queer African American…

I am sitting down to finish this paper on Saturday night. I had decided to not complete this paper and you ask “Because you ran out of time?” …“Or is out of sheer defiance?!? (McIntosh)” Honestly, neither of those reasons. I had sat down no less than five different times over the course of the last week to complete this paper. At first I assumed this would be the easiest paper that I had written all semester for American Ethnicity. I thought this was because not only did I enjoy the reading and…

Piece of Writing: (1) . A piece of writing that reinforced American Westward Expansion was President Andrew Jackson’s State of the Union Address in 1829, which promoted Indian Removal and led to the Indian Removal Act. Both the address and act demonstrated Americans’ mindset of being innately superior to the natives, and encouraged Americans to expand west. In the first few years of the 1800s, the United States acquired additional land, the Louisiana Territory, which promoted citizens to move…

Many individuals in the United States believe that we live in a post-racial world and that racism and discrimination are part of the past. They believe that everyone coexists in a world where segregation and inequalities no longer exist based on race (Dyer 2004). This, I don’t consider it to be true. Currently, many inequalities based on race are still present and a minority of the population in this case, rich white men, still control many aspects of life such as politics, education, and the…

In this report, I will include two of the stories important to many Hispanics. This will include El Chupacabra and La Llorona. The two stories are really related but are of two very different characters. Of course, till this day there is no full proof or evidence that both of these stories are nonfictional. To start this report I will firstly go…
