Some call me Jake and others call me Jacob. Either or will do. I am Jacob Green and to briefly describe myself in four words is very challenging, but in those four words involving my heritage, background, and ethnicity I would say Irish, rural, white, and talkative. However, everyone is unique coming from different backgrounds and having various ethnicities, everyone is peculiar in their own way. What makes up a person is who they are, it is their identity. I am now going to tell you a little…
I am a young black Haitian-American woman who is spiritual, educated, political, and family oriented. As a child, I grew up in low-income family home with both parents under one roof. Without a doubt, both of my parents are political, for they are democrat individuals who raised their children to be acquainted with civil rights and social disparities. However, I do believe my identities fit into a culturally competent behavioral health plan because of cultural disparities in health care.…

When teachers put enough effort in every student, the students’ hidden talent is made obvious. There are neighborhoods where racism makes a lot of difference. If you belong to a particular race, there will be a lot of stereotypes against you. Having a constant belief in student’s mind that one does not belong to the majority can decrease ones…
Upon completion of the Implicit Assessment Test (IAT) my results showed a moderate automatic preference towards Arab/Muslims compared to Other People.

I was raised with the ideals that Gypsies were inferior in their education, work ethics, social status and intelligence. When I came to live in the…

It is only possible for White Americans to achieve the American dream. While America claims to be equal, racial discrimination is still present in daily life. America is working towards becoming more open and equal, but as a society, America is not as advanced as it should be. Laws have been changing throughout time but the racism and oppression has not simmered. While large scale demonstrations of racism such as bombings and hate group riots don’t occur on a daily basis, small scales race…
office it wouldn’t probably be any changes because he did poorly . His decisions had good and bad effects, but don’t get me wrong he did some things that affected America in a good way. Millard Fillmore was weak to edge causes. Falling for the old American fear of secret organizations, his first party was the distrustful Anti-Masonic movement, and he blamed his loss in the New York governor's race on "foreign…

black incomes, along with anyone who isn’t white, and has an impact on homeownership among other possessions. With the widening racial divide it would take black Americans two hundred and twenty-eight years to have as much wealth as white Americans have today.
