The Nation

Sweeping the nations is a plague called The bird flu. This disease is extremely dangerous and is rapidly spreading uncontrollably. At the rate this plague is spreading now, 50% of the world’s population will be dead in a matter of months! The bird flu is also immensely contagious. Due to air travel, the bird flu can become intercontinental in only a few hours. This plague has done damage, is doing damage, and will continue to do more damage unless it is stopped. Power in the government is…

Attention all Americans! The time has come to band together become a federalist nation. Help us develop ideas to improve our Articles of Confederation. We need to establish a cooperative government in order to allow all our citizens and states proper representation in our country. Our new federal government must be strong and powerful protecting all our communities and states. We must be able to offer a way to provide financial security, protection of freedom, success of commerce, and establish…

Segregationists used the memory of slavery and the Civil War as a political tool to oppose desegregation in the southern United States. Politicians like George Wallace and the Dixiecrats used the guise of states rights to justify legal discrimination against Black Americans. The states rights rhetoric is explicitly tied to the white southerners’ memory of slavery and the Civil War —a memory these politicians appropriated to serve their cause. Wallace himself compared the Confederacy to the…

Naylor’s essay “The Meanings of Words” and Leong’s essay “Being A Chink” deal with the use of ethnically derogatory language within and outside of their own ethnic groups. In their essays they argue that by using racist language within their own ethnic groups lessen the negativity attached to these words. In addition to lessening negativity surrounding racist language these ethnic groups are able to use these words to their advantage. As Naylor and Leong have stated in their essays, I agree with…

The options on how to research, economic inequalities among and within ethnic and racialized groups in Canada, as well as how to improve the current 2016 Canadian Census of Population are endless.

With this, the reader will get a better understanding of how certain independent variables impact the one dependent variable in focus, this being, Economic Inequality. As a…

Throughout the state of Arizona there is an issue being debated around the state over multiculturalism in the classroom because of ethnic study classes that are in the schools. This heated argument began when a new Arizona law that was being made, that stated that they will ban ethnic studies from public an charter school. The reason behind the creation of this law is because certain individuals saw these classes as a "threat" to overthrow the government and "promote" ethnic solidarity over…

Essentialism and Standard English are socially-constructed concepts which stand together in upholding a hierarchy that perpetuates ethnic inequality by privileging a dominant group. This privileged group is the white male, whose culture permeates into all other cultures, subtly altering and eliciting behavior to conform to the white male’s norms. Social scientists acknowledge and personify such influence of and social pressure from this culture with notions such as “white gaze,” which depict a…

Marriage is a relationship between two people in which they can start to create a family, there are many different rules for marriage and every religion has its own rules and beliefs, and this relationship must be built on faith and loyalty. Marriage between different nationality helps people to know about other’s cultures, habits, break bonds between countries.

I believe that patriotism is the amount of respect and feeling that someone has towards the country that they live in. Different levels of patriotism can be determined by the amount that someone is willing to sacrifice for their country and the people living within it to help the country as a whole. This can be displayed through various ways but the main one that comes to mind is of those that serve in the military. These men and women should be given the utmost praise for what they have done by…
