one of these thought-provoking questions. For an example, Aronson brings up the point that the term “black” was connected to the term “slave”, but what did that mean for the Asians, Native Americans, Irish, and so on,it left the question “who was white, and who was…
of suffering throughout history. Not only does the color of their skin put them in the position to receive discrimination, but also on top of that they are female, which reduces their rights to even less. Beal points out that when it comes to the white women’s movement, a majority of the women fighting for their rights come from the middle class. This was seen as a problem because the women fighting do not know what it is like to come from “the extreme economic exploitation that most black…
status, and culture. The video appeared to have an overall framework of African American men, stereotyped into a single group of limited income, inept, as well as suffering from mental illnesses. I believe that it portrayed the worldview of most of white America in an accurate way. According to our textbook, worldview is defined as, “our psychological orientation in life and can determine how we think, behave, make decisions, and define events” (Mio, Barker, & Tumambing, 2009, p. 8). Knowing…
the population was being portrayed in an infelicitous angle due to the prejudices of the period, with biased media depicting people of color, especially African-Americans, in negative stereotypical images that were created as an entertainment for white audiences. The Banjo Lesson, painted by a Black artist, Henry Ossawa Tanner, was the first genre painting to reconstruct…
Apartheid greatly benefited the White and Afrikaner minority. The movements of the majority black inhabitants and other ethnic groups were oppressed by the government. The Apartheid legislation classified inhabitants into four racial groups – “White”, “Black”, “Coloured” and “Indian – and residential areas were also segregated. From 1960 to 1983 over 3.5 million non-white South Africans were removed from their homes and forced into segregated neighbourhoods. Non-white political representation…
dressed in nothing but a grass skirt on an island that is filled with flies, to which a more sophisticated white man arrives asking to join his island after a shipwreck, to which the black man replies, “Not unless you swim back after some Flit, mistah. The flies on this island are fearful.” Edwards exclaims this advertisement to be racist and immoral, though the black man is protecting the white man from dangerous flies, making him caring rather than a “savage”. Also, this ad along with many…
The subculture I choose to observe were young black men within their neighborhoods, the ins and outs of what draws young black men to choose to involve themselves into the a life of crime. I had no idea where I was going to observe such a group, I feared going to certain areas in the North West side of Tulsa, where there are active gangs who live there. I knew of no one that could accompany me, however, my aunt in Texas invited me to spend the weekend with her, because she had friend who was a…

Narrative structure and literary techniques are used to help develop, and draw attention to, major themes and ideas within literature. The short stories Recitatif by Toni Morrison and A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor use such devices to help their themes and ideas grow. Morrison’s use of the first person perspective and keeping information from the reader, like the races of characters, helps to develop the major theme of racism and assumptions. O’Connor, on the other hand, uses a…
young I tried origami so the folding technique was not hard for me, and I was able to make a hanbok. Once we browsed the booths we made our way to the auditorium for the Korean performances. The Korean performances included traditional drum dances, hat dances, fan dances, sword dances, taekwondo, and k-pop (see Appendix B). The dances and music were like nothing that I have ever seen. After the performances were over, we tried many different assortments of kimchi (a cabbage based dish from…
