Society/pg.145- people who share a culture and society. In the video you can see what type of society the dharvi slum residents have compared to the people in the surrounding city. Even though crime may run amok you can see that the families of this society have tight knit bond with each other. They also may not all do the same jobs but many share the same ambition to hustle and provide for their families. I feel that their ambition and pride in their work is why they have a hatred for the name…

The time of reconstruction is when Congress rewrote many laws and added new amendments to the constitution to give recently free slaves’ rights. Although this was an exceptional accomplishment by congress not everyone was pleased with it. As a result of this reconstruction failed because an abounding amount of people did not wish for the new amendments. The new additions included giving now free slaves the right to…

success of the ecumenical movement in South Africa, one hopes the same pressure can be applied to the current apartheid arising in the United States. As addressed by Douglas Massey in his 1990 book American Apartheid: Segregation and the Making of the Underclass, the United States since 1970 has witnessed a dramatic increase in poverty along racial lines. The primary locations of poverty are occurring in segregated cities. After the Jim Crow laws ended in the 1960’s, blacks all around the…

Empowering individuals and transcending what were long considered human limits: these thoughts may be exciting to you, but are disturbing and frightening to others. Let's put major objections to transhumanism into one or more of four categories: that it's unfeasible, directly dangerous, indirectly dangerous, or immoral. "It won't work!"

Basically, Bell believes regardless of an individual’s status or wealth, he or she will still be affected or reminded of the inequality suffered by African Americans.
