When biologists look to determine whether two organisms are of the same species, one of the things they often look for is whether or not these these organisms can mate and produce fertile offspring. If they can, then they are considered to be of the same species. Humans are no different; however, when it comes to the actual act of sex, so much more goes into it than the simple ability to produce offspring. Sex involves an attraction, a connection, a spark, and, as Diaz and Alexie point out, it…

this story very relatable and to not only men but woman could understand it. It reminded me of some men that I know and how they think.

He states that young men are under constant pressure of trying to fit in with society and make them seem more desirable over others. At home, they are themselves they don’t hide anything, but when it comes to their friends or a girl he may like he will…

I want to complete college. Despite all the many possible goals and dreams that the majority desire to fulfill, I aspire to finish college in the appropriate amount of time. Although my goal is relatively simple, the journey to succeed can be overall difficult and challenging. Some obstacles that lie ahead for me are due to race. Race itself is controversial because it subtly generalizes everyone and categorizes the human population by privileges and by deciding who is the subordinate or the…

In today’s multicultural society, individuals identify themselves and live within the context of their identity, race, class and culture. Social inequalities experienced by the African American race was due to the sign of hopelessness shown because of the social class they were born to, as well as, the way they were raised. Due to the lack of job opportunities and education, families in urban communities suffer because it creates tension. In Dorothy Allison’s essay, “A Question of Class,” she…

The identities I think about the most would be my race, ethnicity, national origin and socio-economic class. The 1st two I have thought about more and more in the last few countries especially in light of the publication of more and more African-Americans. As I see the media every day I feel like I am always reminded of it and how I have to always make sure that I act in a way that others cannot use to discredit my race or try to undermine my achievements to “oh you only got that…

People in the U.S have been discriminated against for a long time. Until the late 1800s, the inhabitants of the U.S have generally been Caucasians. Despite being a nation of immigrants, when people of different races such as Asian, Hispanics, or anything that isn’t Caucasians is involved, they are most likely going to be discriminated against simply for being different during those time. Presently, most people have come to understand more about the different sorts of race and ethnicity but not…

However, this was not the case several years ago, in the late 90s Cabramatta was known as the hub for drug distribution and it was an area many people feared to visit and due to the amount of dealings that occurred regularly Cabramatta was known and labelled as Australia's heroin capital (Dixon & Maher 2002). This reputation had reinforced stereotypical views that were widely evident in Sydney as individuals of an Asian ethnicity or race were constantly abused and shunned by the wider community…

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman is an anecdotal novel that was both clever and diverting. The fundamental character, Arnold Spirit Jr, is an Indian kid experiencing the delayed consequences of Hydrocephalus. He lives on a destitution stricken Indian hold, home to drunks, addicts and abusers. Because of his therapeutic conditions he experiences various physical disfigurements that make him a prime focus for badgering. In any case, those are the slightest of his issues.…

because it is only relative and therefore not specific enough to be analyzed properly. Furthermore, understanding the global patterns allows researchers to better understand the genetic variation that occurs between people of different areas. Tishkoff states in her prose that Homo sapiens are approximately 98% genetically similar to chimpanzees (Tishkoff 1). This begs the question that Root explains in “The Problem of Race in Medicine.” He proposes that since humans are so similar to a creature…
