American Exceptionalism runs so deep that sometimes it’s hard to admit when our democracy fails to uphold the values laid out in the Constitution. And at first glance it may appear as though Benjamin Franklin’s quotation regarding the relationships between Democracy and Liberty with minorities buys into this traditional pro-democracy, pro-American narrative that gets perpetuated by mainstream academia. By asserting that “liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote,” Franklin provides an…

Primarily, four functional social structure requirements identifying issues of intolerance cemented within Australia’s social system. Webers analysis accounted for multi-dimensional views of social conflict developing from societal status groups.

Evaluation Criteria as a means of restricting access to objects based on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they belong. The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject (unless restrained by mandatory access control)". 2. Why would you add permissions into a group instead of the individual? What policy definition do you think is required to support this…
United States of America, regarding a greatly misunderstood position on racial and ethnic prejudicial progress. Similar to Damien Cave’s article, this specific article held a fixated standpoint on blacks and whites, indicating two, polar, or binary groups–black and white. Not only is this a manifestation of a racial borderline, but it is also an example of a deficiency that many people have acquired – understanding racism and ethnicity inclusively and comprehensively. This article contains…

First and foremost, it is important to note that I chose not to distribute my questionnaire to children or any young person under the age of 18,…
stage of group can also be viewed as the planning stage which consists of obtaining information about what type of group it is, the length, the number of participants, and whether it is an open or closed group (Corey et al., 2014). However, being an in-class group, the number of participants, the length, and the type of group was preselected for us. Also, each member was required to facilitate for one session and needed to focus on a different stage of group development. This was a closed group…
America will always have racial borders, and everyone will be aware of racism around them, relative to Police, Jobs, Politics, and even schools. We can control racism in our everyday lives, but people just tend to stick with their color or racial group. The majority of older people…
Para Teresa by Ines Hernandez-Avila is a poem about a few 6th grade girls in the bathroom talking about being a teacher’s pet, and trying to rebel. Ines Hernandez talks about how after all those years, the student getting bullied considers the bully a sister, and after standing up to her she’s over it. It’s described in the poem why the student tries so hard in school, and what she gets out of it. The poem takes place in 1947 at an elementary school called the Alamo, I’m assuming it’s mixed…
technology, engineering, and math teachers scarce, but out of the ones that are practicing, few have the resources to inspire students to pursue the STEM field, or even apply the knowledge. However, this is not the only issue. Women and minorities are groups that are simply not identifiable within the STEM field. There are many stakeholders in this matter such as teachers, students, and philanthropies, but the most prominent stakeholder…
