mother figure in Scout and Jem 's lives. Even though Cal is African American, Scout and Jem treat her with respect, as does their father. They do not conform to the norms of their society. They do not refer to African Americans as Negroes or boy, but rather by their name. While in Maycomb, people go around calling African Americans awful names; Atticus teaches the kids that this is wrong, and they should never call African Americans anything other than their names. He also tells the children:…

criminal justice system. On the streets, a majority of people, especially white people, still do not feel at ease when they see tall black men at night. In our society, these black men are more likely to get killed by a police officer than other Americans. A single bullet fired can not only end a life, but also trigger riots and racial tensions in the country. For instance, Trayvon Martin was murdered for looking “suspicious” after purchasing candy and soda from a grocery store back in 2012. A…

actual experiences as they tend to focus on the Jewish and their search for belonging and identity. Potok separates the modernized Jewish culture in America from what he thinks is the true and original Jewish culture. This mirrors his life as an American Jew born and raised in the New York. Potok values the relationship of family in his books, especially between father and son, as the father would pass on their culture down to the son so that it can be passed for many more generations to come.…

Jose Deleon Mrs Behrend AP Seminar 2 December 2015 Correlation Between Race and Intelligence When a person looks at another person, are they quick to assume how intelligent they are based on their appearance or race? Some of us may say no but, most of us are all guilty of stereotyping a person based on their race at one point or another.

thinking that originated in this period, and this society remains close to these ideals today. America is free because of these European thinkers. The ideas of the Enlightenment shaped vital facets of America’s groundwork, such as capitalism, the American Revolution, and the Bill Of Rights.

it doesn’t affect you directly; you may not understand the significance of racism. I believe that I hold some bias due to my race and social class. Denial is thoughts believed and what one perceives as real based on one’s own thoughts. One white American may believe in denial while another may not.
