After studying this week’s material, each cultural of has their own belief of culture that they believe to be true.

defining the distinction difficult. However, the fact that the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) has long been a cult in the United States is very simple to comprehend and understand. This organization has been a stable in American society for over 100 years and has utilized the belief in god, hatred, fear, and violence to perpetuate the organization’s overall goal of making certain that the white race is dominate over all other races. Although the KKK has become more widely known as a hate group in modern…
The issue of racial discrimination in the America has always existed in this society. After the Civil Rights Movement, the American governments accepted African-Americans in the law to obtain equal status with White-Americans. But this equality is only formal because the African-American in society and life are still subject to a lot of unequal treatment. African-Americans never stopped fighting for real freedom and equality in their life, but their efforts to fight also gave them a lot of…
Hutus to form a political system and to strengthen their control, but it was flawed because the division was based on solely physical characteristics. they were the minority, Tutsis were considered the upper class, and Hutus the lower class. The Hutus were oppressed by being denied higher education, land, and socially higher positions in society. Tutus were favored, and it showed in society.

While feminist have long argued that their cause is based on civil liberties and equality, the reality reflects that this is merely a facade to cover up their inner hatred. The myths spouted by them, their blatant hatred for men, and their deliberate disregard for scientific facts, as just some of the few reasons why feminist activist are not seen as a beacon of hope and change, but…
I’ve chosen scene 1 and 3 of Act 3 to focus on how my understanding has deepened about Shylock. In scene 1, Shylock expresses his extreme hatred towards Antonio, his pitiful plight due to the racist stereotypes and ostracization on Jews and his anger and agony in losing his daughter, Jessica. From lines 40-68, Shylock expresses his extreme undying hatred towards Antonio, his agony in how the Christian community has dealt him unreasonably and heartlessly. This can be seen when Shylock…
