Throughout history, advertising has used racist ideas to sell products to their consumers. Companies rarely put different minority groups in their ads, but when represented, the ads portrayed them as slaves, servants, or problems in society. Although advertisements in the past have contained many different forms of racism, companies today have begun to focus more on creating diverse ads with ideals that appeal to all ethnic groups. Before the civil war, when slavery was a common practice, white…

From the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century, nationalism in Britain drew citizens closer together to stand against the rising Napoleon regime. When Napoleon rose to power, the threat of annihilation forced British nationalism and, in turn, the mobilization of citizens into the military (Rothenberg 792). Napoleon had the mission to take over Europe and make France the centerpiece country. Martyn Thompson of the Journal of the History of Ideas quotes Napoleon in 1805 as…

The core of this chapter in Laymon’s book was what it meant to grow up black in America during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Being black meant, being aware of “the worst of the white people.” No, Laymon was not referring to Klansmen or Nazi-skinheads, “The worst of white folks, I understood, wasn’t some gang of rabid white people in crisp pillowcases and shaved heads” (28). Neither was it a group of segregationists wanting to keep blacks out of what they perceived as white…

In the 16th century, Europe was suffering the Protestant reformation which confronted Protestants and Catholics. Due to this rivalry and the consequent difficulties, England didn't put among its priorities the possibility of colonizing. Years later, the enemisty with Spain grew up and, since this country was one of England's biggest foreing costumers, new markets had to be found. And the solution was colonizing. The recovery of Europe's economy increased the demand of wool, and England became…

Watching this episode of ABC’s All in the Family, was very interesting. I do not usually watch the older shows, so this really opened my eyes and showed how the white people thought differently about African-American people. I think that this episode mostly made fun of the prejudices that some people had because of the way Sammy Davis Jr. responded to Archie’s comments. In this show, Archie had several opinions about African-American people, and I got the feeling that he was against equality…

Though the Germans claimed it as a victory for them, as they suffered less casualties, the Battle had major effects on both sides of the war. There were many casualties on both sides of the war, and after the Battle the Germans never attempted to invade Britain through sea again, cutting off one possibly way of…

In order to answer the question above, one must first explore the many factors that affect a diverse continent with countries that were economically and politically developed and countries that were still in the process of industrial evolution rather than revolution. Europe was and still remains a continent with the greatest diversity with regards not only to ethnic and religious variability but also due to its fluctuating economic stance based on the discrepancies between countries in terms of…

Richard Wright was a prolific protest writer whom was often criticized for his lack of complexity to his black characters. One of the critiques of his writing is that portrayed them as helpless victims to a hostile society brimming with oppression and violence against black folk. This constant typology of Wright’s black protagonists made his characters seem one dimensional and stereotypical to the fears already pressed upon black folks. However, Wright’s understanding of the black psychological…
