Race in the United States

What is Known Racial profiling denies persons equal treatment and protection under the laws (Audi, 2008). Devaluing people based on their race, ethnicity and religion. While eradicating the trust of law enforcement (Amnesty International, 2015). The Fourth Amendment allows officers to stop and frisk if they think that a person looks suspicious. This is another tactic that allows law enforcement to racially profile a person of color. “People of color are sometimes profiled and stopped in…

Affirmative Action The United States has come a long way since the Slave Trade and the abolition of slavery. The country as a whole has changed greatly and will continue to change and evolve everyday. But, it was not long ago that colleges and universities, or even high schools allowed African American men and women or any race other than white into their schools. That is why a term known as affirmative action has gotten the negative attention by many people who claim it is unconstitutional.…

Discrimination In the world today, prejudice is taught by socializing in public places. The United States of America has put biases in society that makes people treated unequally. Discrimination will never be eliminated if society does nothing about it. Discrimination will be eliminated over time because the past has proven that it is possible. By learning our differences and logically compromising without hate of race or unequal treatment, discrimination will be defeated as the Japanese…

Nuclear Arms Race “If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.” - Winston Churchill. The arms race during the Cold War was a challenge between the United States and Soviet Union to create nuclear weapons to use on each other. The Nuclear Arms Race demonstrates a Cold War problem because it made the entire war much more dangerous with the development of powerful weapons; the Nuclear Arms Race hurt the relationship between the U.S. and Soviet…

The first topic that I learned in this class was about race. I define race as categorization humans into groups, based on their skin color. However, my view on the race changed when we watch the film " Race: The Power of an Illusion". The film really had an impact on me. I thought race was biologically, but I found that from the film that isn't true. The DNA workshop that students did was interesting. When the compare their own DNA to see who is more genetically similar. The students were…

Department illustrates that minorities are more likely to be searched by police during a traffic stop over whites and if the race of the motorist differs from the officer (Antonovics & Knight, 2009, p. 177). It is also important to keep in mind that to have valid data to support racial profiling, there must be data that distinguishes between police “using race” or “finding race” (Gold, 2003, p. 395). In 2001, President Bush asked the congress and the attorney general to develop procedures for…

The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union was very beneficial to both sides. Both countries also benefited from new technologies that came out of their space research. It is, however arguable that the space program in the United States benefited more than the Soviet Union. The benefits the United States derived from its space research was not only new technologies but a sense national pride. With the America’s space program using more than $100 billion (in 1994 terms) it…

action achieves the goal that social leaders invented it for: creating equality for minorities. Although America has come a long way in creating both political and social equality for minorities, subtle disadvantages are still existent for non-white races. Whether this issue can be attributed to racism or pure coincidence is not of question. With this is in mind, the real question is associated with what America can do as a nation to work toward solving the conflict. Affirmative action can be…

By the 1890’s, America had absolutely the world’s most productive economy. The industry in the United States produced twice as much as Britain. On the other hand, Americans did not have any interest to expand their territory. America Justified its rise as a world power through three time periods; First, the rise of American imperialism that includes the Spanish-American war, and WWI. Second, WWII which will discuss the neutrality and the involvement of the U.S. in the second World War. And…

the idea of race as a social construct only in America. America is consist of two continent which are the South and the North. I presumed that you are generalizing North America as a xenophobic society or being a country that has racial discrimination. I think any continent such as Europe or Asia has distinctions to any individuals. Going back to the normality, this affects the prejudice or any discrimination who is different in the society. If you think the other way, United States is a diverse…
