Scholarly journal, also called as academic/scientific/refereed journal or very often peer-reviewed journal, is a peer-reviewed/refereed periodical in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation for scrutiny of new research, and the critique of existing research (Blake & Bly, 2000).

In Europe, Islamophobia emerged together with new anti-Semitism, where the targets are the new immigrants, Muslims, as well as Jews. The reason for that is in France and United Kingdom, Muslims and Jews for the past decade inhabit the poorest neighborhoods. Media, on the other hand, portrays this as an incapability of Muslim immigrants to integrate into European society and susceptibility to the imported Islamist ideologies (Silverstein, 367).

Thesis: Arising from the growing development for the equality of African-American peoples in the United States, those who continued to support the alt-right became increasingly aware of their decreasing racial superiority, effectively resulting in their insecurity becoming the basis for the formulation of the Ku Klux Klan, violently targeting the increasingly powerful minorities.

Ethnocentrism can be defined as an individual’s belief that an ethnic group or cultural with which they identify is superior to all others. There are many people throughout the United States that have this same belief. Whether it be racist conservatives that believe in white power or liberals that hate putting toys in happy meals (The). This is what I like to call a “Hate-first” mindset. In history there have been many group or organization with this type of mindset, such as, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, The Nazi party, Westboro Baptist Church, the list could go on and on. Many of these organizations are terror groups. Some of those groups are just hateful, arrogant, loud-mouthed people. The KKK is an example of a terrorist organization with a hate first mindset. The Alt-right is an example of a hateful, arrogant, and loud-mouthed groups. Many people believe that the Alt-right movement may be a “call-back” to the KKK. Though the KKK and the Alt-right may share some of the same ideology, I do not believe that the Alt-Right is a call back to the KKK.

The goal of this investigation is to delve into the question of: to what extent was the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan during the 1920s a reflection of societal change? In order to assess this question from multiple perspectives on the topic, research is needed to further look into the Klan’s motives both prior to their revival as well as after. Events in the 1870s, when the Klan ended, as well as events in the 1920s, when the klan was reborn, will be considered in this investigation in order to make connections between the KKK and why their revival in the 1920s reflected societal change. Among these events include the end of Reconstruction, the Progressive Era, increase of immigration to the United States, as well as the “red scare” of communism.

Shawn Lay, from “ The Second Invisible Empire and Toward a New Historical Appraisal of the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s”, rejects the view of the KKK as a radical fringe group comprised of marginal men and instead characterizes the KKK of the 1920s as a

The professional organization I chose to look further into and discuss today is the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Their website is www.ahima.org (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. which I will provide again for you. They are home based in Illinois with their primary address being

In this article, David Bornstein talks about F.B.I report about the hate crimes against Muslims reached their highest level since 2001. In New York, hate crimes are one of the most violent crimes against Muslims since last decade. The 2016 election highlighted religious problems in United States as well as all over the world. Donald Trump’s solution to terrorism to ban Muslims from entering the country create nationwide protest. In United States, people from different ethnic backgrounds belief or faith at some point suffered or become victim of hate crime. The victims includes Jews, Christians, and Mormons, alongside Muslims. In the past, Bornstein reported on the Chicago-based interfaith youth core programme, which trains people to build relationships and respect

The KKK extended their defense of true Americanism from only blacks to Catholics, Jews, foreigners, feminists, and radicals (Cohen 694). Along with their new promise, they rallied for more members to help with their defense to protect American purity. The Klan’s size grew exponentially during their second upbringing to their most ever of over three million members. While the second upbringing of the Klan was short-lived, their influence of their defense against anything that was not purely American reflects on the beliefs of white

Another group I decided to analyze was the Neo-Confederacy in Texas. This group looks upon 20th and 21st century reawakening of pro-Confederate belief in the U.S. Neo-Confederacy takes part in follow Christianity and customs with additional essential values that modern Americans are likely to disregard. Also, Neo-Confederacy is belligerent towards democracy, fight against homosexuality, supports the idea of traditional gender roles and displays a tolerance towards race that favors discrimination and goes for white supremacy. Recently, neo-Confederacy is used by advocators and critics to explain a belief system that has raised

Goldberg’s article states “since when is being less bad than the Klan a major moral accomplishment?” (Goldberg). The KKK, one of the most horrific groups America has ever seen, has violent alt-left enemies – Antifa. Goldberg argues that Antifa should not be seen as heroic, but instead should be seen as thugs that “oppose

The phrase “Alternative Right” was first coined by Richard Spencer in 2010 and has become an umbrella term to describe a neo-reactionary movement to push back against progressive domination of political and social spheres. This is done by creating an idea space in which issues such as race and nationalism can be discussed without considering left-wing positions on the subject. This puts the Alt-Right outside of mainstream conservatism, which is dominated by left-wing philosophies on race, nationalism, and gender relations and has been summed up by the Alt-Right with the pejorative label “Cuckservative” which in many ways is a mirror of the liberal use of “Regressive Left”. The Alt-Right seems to be a reaction to the lack of conservative doctrine on subjects dominated by left-wing points of view.

In addition to the areas of ambiguity, there is the problem of religious ignorance (Giess, 2012; Haynes, 2011). There is a marked and dramatic ignorance among Americans about religious traditions including their own (Giess, 2012). Ignorance is no virtue and especially so when the opportunity to harm one’s students through intolerance and ignorance is more prevalent than ever before. The US, the predominance of the Christian religion notwithstanding, is becoming more and more diverse religiously (Gunther & Purinton, 2011). This type of ignorance is a contributor to the escalation of religious intolerance that has manifested itself in increasing numbers of hate crimes (Haynes, 2011).

A current cultural conflict taking place in America today is religious. Many Americans discriminate against the Islamic faith and there have been countless acts of mistreatment of Muslims in the work place, at school, in public, and in the media. Negative feelings and acts toward Muslims have become so prevalent that in 1991 the Runnymede Trust Report coined a term for it. The report defined the “unfounded hostility toward Muslims, and therefore fear or dislike of all or most Muslims” as “Islamophobia” (Defining “Islamophobia”). There has always been some religious cultural conflict with Muslims in the United States, but since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, conflict has escalated significantly.

Sometimes it seems like the computer game industry is dying, crushed to death by its own bulk. Every year more and more gaming companies get gobbled up into huge conglomerates like Electronic Arts, companies that mostly put out trash that is technically and visually impressive, but devoid of concept and content. However, there are some small gaming companies that buck the trend. While mostly just small groups of programmers and artists, some are huge unions of fans who, irritated with the dropping quality of computer games, have decided to use the power of the internet to get together and to produce games tailor-made to their personal preferences.
